I love this balm! I wasn’t sure what to expect, so I’m afraid I fumbled with it at first, but hubby didn’t mind. First thing: it’s going to take you several seconds to get the balm pushed down to the opening. It’s very thick, but melts down quickly with the warmth of your skin, and I recommend applying directly to your lips with your fingertip. I found that it provides a glide that is superior to all of the flavored lubricants I’ve used in the past. Typically, I use nothing, which works fantastically as-is, but this stuff makes it even better. The scent is pleasant, it has a very delicate coconut scent. The taste is also a mild coconut flavor, but with a hint of mint. My husband said that he actually really liked the cooling sensation he experienced. He said it’s not too much, not at all tingly or uncomfortable, just cool. I think this is definitely a must-have for your bedside drawer, and keep it in mind for travel because it is a far more desirable travel companion than a bottle of lubricant. You would have to destroy the tube or leave it open before a leak could happen, and even then, it wouldn’t make it far. 10/10 buy it!
