So I have to admit that I am pretty underwhelmed with KY Brand Warming Liquid. I’ve got a shoebox full of lubes, so my standards are set kind of high, and this is not a product I would rummage through my collection for.

First up, let me highlight the ingredient list:

Glycerin – many women are sensitive to it and it can cause vaginal infection
Propylene Glycol – see problems with glycerin
Maltodextrin – weird, but no further comments
Honey – wft?
Methylparaben – parabens are becoming increasingly controversial and good to avoid
Sucralose – fucking splenda

Now, let me be honest, you’ll find one or more of these ingredients in a lot of lubes and every day products. However, as a whole, this list is telling me that they aren’t overly concerned with the well-being of my girl parts.

In the bedroom, I’d say this is OK as a lubricant. I personally didn’t feel any warming sensation, but my partner said she did, but that it wasn’t mind blowing. It is a water-based lube, which means it is compatible with all kinds of sex toys and latex condoms. Clean up is a snap and it isn’t sticky or gross. One major turn off for me is the taste. I’m not sure if it’s the splenda or what, but this lube has a sour, sweet, chemical taste that makes me want to immediately brush my teeth. It also kind of made my tongue numb. Awesome.

Anyways, If you’re on your honeymoon and someone forgot to pack the lube, you could run to the local CVS and pick it up and it would be ok, but I wouldn’t recommend this to someone as their go-to product. It’s found in all sorts of mainstream stores, so it is convenient, but I would recommend people who are looking for a better lube go out of their way, spend a little more money, and get a product that performs better and is made with your health in mind.

I recommend Pjur Aqua if you’re looking for a water-based lube and talk about a couple of my favorite silicone lubricants in an earlier post.

Also, we’ve reviewed a bunch of lube in the past, so if you’re serious about lube, check out all of them here!
