Love liquid peppermint - lubricant discontinued by Kama Sutra - review by ArcaneBlast

I love Kama Sutra lubes, they always come in such pretty packaging and nice bottles. This is no exception. It is the epitome of decadence.




Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Hydroxy Bthylcellulose, Tetrasodium EDA, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, "Flavor"

The 'Love Liquid Peppermint' is hypoallergenic and is for external use only. When the label says that I'm not sure if they meant not meant for penetrative use or just not meant to be eaten. With the glycerin those who are prone to yeast infections shouldn't use this for penetration, and this really shouldn't be eaten; the pepperminty smelling additive in it makes this taste HORRIBLE.

As a very thin lubricant, I wasn't sure if this was actually a massage oil instead. I'm pretty sure it can be used as both. This dries relatively quickly leaving the most amazing peppermint scent out there without being too sticky. It's like a nice menthol rub, but with a little bit of greasyness afterwards. The main problem is the thinness mixxed with the flip top cap makes for a quick mess and wasted fluid.

The good part is this is non-staining, so if you do accidentally spill this all over the place it won't leave a mark and can be cleaned up easily.
I love this as a massage oil, but as a lubricant this is clearly lacking. Runniness and quick drying is not a good recipe for lubricant and for that I can't recommend it for such. The tingliness was a bit weaker than I expected but it wasn't a heavy mentholated burn which is well appreciated. The reason this would make great for massage is that rubbing it in enhances the tingliness a bit.

All in all, this is a great product if it had been put in a different category. I'm very sure this could match or even exceed the massage oils listed in the massage section on this site.
