This toy was definitely designed
I've been wanting to try the new line of
Climax bursts lubricants by Topco ever since they first appeared on the market. Each lube features tiny capsules suspended within the lubricant that are supposed to pop on contact, adding a little something extra to the experience. I tried the Climax Bursts
Aphrodisiac Enhanced whose tiny beads contain
vitamin E and
natural herbal aphrodisiacs like
Yohimbe and Horny Goat weed.
First of all, I just want to say that I love the packaging. After dealing with slippery fingers and slippery lids, I wondered why more lubes don't come packaged like this. Simply pop the ring up and squeeze to get the perfect amount of lube. When you're finished, just pop the ring back down to seal the bottle. So much easier to do with lube slippery fingers than screwing and unscrewing lids or trying to get a grip on flip-top containers.
I wasn't sure about the tiny micro beads. Having had bad experiences with products containing micro beads, I wasn't sure how they would work in a lube. But, the magic word turned out to be "micro". Since the beads were so tiny, they popped on contact without leaving any noticable plastic shell or residue behind. And since this lube is
water-based and
glycerin-free, I was able to try it out with my favorite silicone toys. While I love the silkiness of silicone lubes, I hate not being able to use them with the majority of my toys.
I don't know about the
aphrodisiac effects... we tried the lube in various configurations, but we didn't really notice any additional aphrodisiac effect. The lube was nice and silky and stayed slick for as long as we needed it through both vaginal and anal sex- in fact, it's one of the lubes that we reach for most frequently on our nightstand, though that's really because of the easy to use container rather than any additional oomph that it provides.
The price doesn't make it unrealistic as a good lube even if it doesn't have any aphrodisiac effects. I really enjoy lube bottles that are easily dispensed which is why I've fallen in love with pump tops, but this looks like a good solution as well. You mentioned that the micro-beads didn't leave any residue, but did their popping enhance the experience at all for you? Thanks for the review.
Sounds like a pretty cool lube worth trying...and with the added Vitamin E, it leaves you well moisturized! I'll have to check it out.
