Love drops - oil by Topco Sales - review by Jul!a

Love Drops is a line of edible massage oils, and its somewhat cheesy packaging hides the fact that deep down, this stuff kinda rocks.

I feel that this product will work best for shorter massages. For a short massage as foreplay the flavoring is very nice, and for a short massage before bed, you won't be left feeling sticky.

Love Drop's texture is somewhat oily without being runny or too slick. Pouring a dime size amount into my hand I only have to let it flatten itself out before I can turn my hand any which way and it doesn't drip off.

The type of cap makes it very easy to distribute, and because it isn't runny at all, you're not going to end up with half the bottle all over you or your partner.

If squirted directly onto the back, it will stay put until you start moving it around.

Once it has been absorbed by the skin, it doesn't leave you feeling sticky or greasy. You might have a light tackiness to your skin, so if you're sensitive to things being on your skin, you might want to wash it off.

I have the Passion Fruit flavor. When spread there's no real scent, unless your nose is right in the oil. This is really nice for those who are sensitive to stronger scents.

It has a hint of artificial sweetener which those who are more sensitive to that will get somewhat of a 'diet soda' aftertaste to it. I experienced that, my fiance did not. Otherwise the taste is very pleasant. It tastes sort of, fruity, which is to be expected since it's fruit flavored. However there's no way to really pinpoint an exact fruit. It's just kind of, fruity.

The first pea sized application lasted about a whopping 3 minutes before the skin of my back absorbed it. This was followed by another pea sized application and another 5 minutes or so of rubbing.

Trying to get the right amount is tricky, because too much will be, well, too much, a big oily mess like putting on too much lotion. Not enough and you run out really fast. I find that you should start out with about a nickel sized amount of oil and go from there. If it's too much it can easily be rubbed into other areas of the body, and if it's not enough you can easily add more.

After getting my massage my skin felt nice and silky, almost like I had been using a lotion instead of an oil. I didn't feel sticky at all, and I didn't feel the need to shower. My fiance said the same thing about his hands as well. When I used it on him, it left my fingers with a slightly tacky feeling, but not in a bad way. Like they had just a slight drag to them when dragging across each other. The feeling went away within about 20 minutes or so.

However, I'm not everybody, and some people will feel the need to wash this off. You can really just wipe down with a damp to wet cloth, adding soap as you wish.

The packaging is really simple, and plays slightly off the name, giving you a somewhat tear shaped bottle. It holds 8 fluid ounces of massage oil.

The front tells you that you are now the proud owner of Love Drops Tease Me flavored massage oil in the passion fruit flavor.

Moving around towards the back, you find an ingredients list: Water, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Flavor, Sucralose, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Blue 1, Red 40

Due to the stricter laws on planes, I wouldn't recommend trying to fly with this. But you could take it just about anywhere else. You have to press firmly on one end of the cap to open it, and then squeeze the bottle firmly to get anything out of it, so I wouldn't be worried about tossing it into an overnight bag or anything like that. Leave it out if you want as well, there's nothing about it that really screams "I'm from a sex shop." In fact, it looks like something you could have bought at Bed Bath and Beyond or Walmart.

Special features of this product is flavoring.

Because of the glycerin and the parabens, I highly recommend never ever using this as a lube. There are other flavored lubes that are both glycerin and paraben free. Instead, just stick to having tasty massages with this.

The first time we went to use this, I was kinda excited. I'd never used a massage oil before, only lotions, so when this didn't leave my skin feeling oily or sticky, I was ecstatic.

From the playing around I've done with it so far, it's definitely not a long term thing. If you're looking to go 20 minutes without stopping, spend the money and invest in something else. But if you enjoy a quick rub down before bed, or anytime of the day, I would recommend this to just about anyone.

I give Love Drops 4 stars because I don't believe it was ever intended to be the product that goes and goes and goes, so I don't mind that it doesn't. That coupled with the fact that it tastes good and doesn't leave any icky feelings behind is why I enjoy this product so much.
