JO 2 to Tango pack - lubricant discontinued by System JO - review by I Want It Now.

I've reviewed JO brand lubes before (you can read it here), and I'm a big fan. However, this week I tried out the new System JO 2 to Tango pack, and I was less than impressed.

I was excited to receive one of JO's new products. When I opened the package, I found a small box with typical discreet packaging that you'd find on a drug store shelf. Any adult would know by reading the package what was contained therein, but there were no sexy images that you'd have to hide from your small children. Kudos for that, JO! No one wants their kid to be scarred for life by having them accidentally finding mom's dildo box in the trash.

Inside the box I found two 2-ounce pump bottles of personal lubricant - one for me, one for him. The women's bottle states on the front that it will "enhance and stimulate," while the men's bottle states that it will "prolong and excite."

As with most "stimulating" products for women that I've tried, this product produces a slight warming sensation, similar to but less intense than the tingling you get from the plumping lip gloss that everyone has in their drawer. However, this product provides a very mild sensation when compared to other products I've tried. I found it unnoticeable during foreplay with a vibrator, and only noticed the sensation when his body pressed into mine - I believe that the product uses your body heat and friction to produce the sensation, so it won't do much for you until you go at it. The product contains menthol, so if you've used a product with the same active ingredients, you may know whether or not this product is right for you. While I didn't find the sensation a turn-off, I still prefer the Jo H20) that I reviewed previously.

The men's product contains benzocaine, a numbing agent. For my guy, who doesn't have a problem with sustaining his erection but rather needs help focusing his attention to achieve orgasm, this is exactly the wrong product to use. The numbing sensation may help some men prolong orgasm, but for us, it was counterproductive.

The other issue we had was with the pumps on the bottles. The directions said to use a small amount to the genital area. The pump on the women's product took several tries to get any product out at all, and even then I got only about a drop. I ended up unscrewing the top so I could use the product, which made it tough to get the right amount. The pump on the men's product wouldn't work at all, so again, we unscrewed the top. I wondered if we used too much (and if so, if that attributed to the poor experience my husband had), but the lubricative properties of the product were the same good quality that we're used to from JO products and overall it seemed that we used the right amount - it was just the added benzocaine that wasn't right for us.
