I have always refused to try warming lube. Something about it just never seemed right to me. I consider burning in my genitals a bad thing. Like, if I begin to experience a burning feeling in my vajayjay, either a) someone touched me after eating spicy food or b) I should go to a doctor and get checked out. Naturally, this made me the guinea pig to try the Durex Tingling Lubricant when we got it in. Since I wouldn’t try warming, I was forced to try tingling.
It seemed like it might be okay. It was silicone-based (never a bad thing!) and therefore glycerin-free (unlike many warming lubes which tend to contain glycerin and get sticky. Though System Jo came out with a silicone-based warming lube and a glycerin-free warming lube. But I digress). It contained menthol, hence the tingling sensation.
However, in practice, this stuff sucked. First of all, it smelled like mint. Hardcore. The smell or the menthol or something cleared my sinuses and both me and my partner ended up with runny noses. It was like Vick’s Vaporub or something. Constant sniffling during sex? Not hot. Also, the lube removed my nail polish AND paint from one of my toys. Um, what is this shit? Paint thinner? I don’t want anything that removes paint near my vagina.
I have also heard from NUMEROUS people that it burns. Badly. So, if you ever get the urge to try tingling lube, I do not recommend it. It might, however, make a good massage lotion if you don’t mind a little bit of sniffling!

Oh I agree – the warming stuff is like Vapo-Rub!!! No thanks!!!
It removed your nail polish??? That's insane.
You'll know it's working because it tingles!
And WTF kind of verification word is "ingribre" ???
I tried the warming lube one time and that was it for me. My pretty kitty burned so awful bad that it literally brought tears to my eyes. AND one time I had just brushed my teeth and gave Joe a blow job….yeah, that's the equivalent to the warming lube.
It really removed your nail polish? How would anyone expect you to use that on your genitals? Crazy!
(I'm just catching up on all your posts because I've been crazy busy and not able to comment, although I've read a few. So don't mind all the comments I'll be leaving today)
