Personally, I'm a huge fan of cinnamon. If you're looking for a lube purely for the taste, this lube is awesome. It tastes nice, and it works well for oral and for extra lubrication for the clitoris. I personally steer clear of using product with anal play because the stickiness worries me. As for the supposed warming effects, I can personally say it did nothing. It was not any warmer, despite the package's assurance to "Rub it on . . . feel the warmth! Blow on it . . . feel the heat!"

Hot Licks lubricant isn't thin, but it definitely can't be considered thick. The lubricant is very easy to pour because of this, so be careful! I personally dab a finger in it and then rub it against a toy or whatever I intend to use it on. It's very sticky, so letting it dry on your body will leave a heavy taste and a nasty stickiness that can pick up lint. Wash it off with warm water after use, and you'll have no problem.

The taste is very nice. It's a spicy, cinnamony flavor with a faint taste of lubricant. The smell isn't overpowering, but if you're up close, you can easily smell it.

It's water based, so you can use it with all kinds of toys, but be warned: it gets pretty sticky. Cleanup is as simple as rubbing it off with a wet wash cloth. Lubrication does not last incredibly long, and it becomes tacky after a while. The main advertising feature of this product is its warmth, and it did not meet expectations at all.

The packaging is not discreet, as the small plastic bottle is covered in lips, flames, and text asserting that it is a "sensuous, lickable warming lotion." If you're shy about having your lubricants out, you'll want to store this out of sight or create a new wrapper for it. If you do decide to go the camouflage route, it'd be easy to cover it up and call it a hair product or something similar.

The cap is an easy twist-on/twist-off, rounded, black top, but it can be REALLY difficult to close it back up when your hands are wet with lubricant.

The warming sensation was non-existent, and the only warmth I experienced was through the spicy taste of the lubricant. There was no warmth. Maybe it's false advertising or hopes for a placebo effect from smelling the cinnamon, but either way, it just didn't work.
