The Heat Wave warming flavored lubricant is pretty disappointing. It smells like delicious cherry flavored dum-dum pops, however it tastes like cherry Nyquil. Gross. Neither my boyfriend nor I could feel any warm tingly sensations from this. No amount of light blowing or licking warmed it up. It just felt like a nasty splotch of glue on me. I had thought it would be like the KY Warming, except flavored, but no. Not even close.

The only good things I can think of for this lube is the quantity of lube and that it is not packaged in a bottle like most lubes. It’s a lot easier to squirt the lube out of this than it is with a bottle, especially an almost empty bottle.

Near the end of our fun playtime, after we had finished trying this stuff, I noticed my hand was really sticky from it. As it dried it got sticky on whatever skin we rubbed it on. It may just be more of a personal preference, though. I like lubricants to dry and stay smooth and slippery.

Clean up was just as easy as it is with any other lubes. A warm soapy washcloth got it all off pretty quick.

Since it typically seems that the more expensive a product is, the better quality, I thought this lube would rock. I still find myself preferring the Wet Platinum lube I got at Wal-Mart for like $4. Cheaper is not always better, however expensive is definitely not always better either.

I don’t think I would recommend this product to anyone. Unless you really like cherry Nyquil flavored glue, then I suppose you’d enjoy this. For your first time using warming lube, I would definitely try KY brand, as it is available at most drug stores for around $3 for a small bottle.

Unfortunately, my only other bottle of warming lube exploded all over right before I wanted to use some. It seems like this kind of thing always happens right before you want to use it. I tried using some of the Heat Wave lube instead, which turned out pretty bad. Combined with the humidity, the texture of the lubricant just felt unbearably awful.
