Similar to how Goldilocks struggled with the temperature of her porridge, it&#8217;s tough finding a lube that&#8217;s <em>just right<\/em>. Some are too sticky, while others too quick to dry. Silicone lubes are a great option for some\u2014but not if you&#8217;re planning on using silicone toys (the silicone in the lube can break down the silicone material). And while oil-based lubes can feel <em>amazing<\/em>, they erode latex condoms and diaphragms.

Per the brand, you can apply Heat externally, like to your clitoris or penis, or internally, maybe to your G-spot or anus. Having tried this for myself during solo and partnered play, I&#8217;m a big fan.<\/p>\n<p>Functionally, warming lubes work like other lubes: They create a more slippery environment that can make solo or partnered play more pleasurable by eliminating friction (created by dryness). What makes them unique is, of course, the warming element (created by the ingredient capsaicin, the active compound of the chili pepper) which can enhance the experience even more.<\/p>\n<h2>First impressions<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve loved Maude since its inception because the brand has always stood by quality ingredients and creating products that are simply beautiful. Heat exemplifies that. It comes in an olive-green matte box adorned with a glossy silhouette of the product. I delicately opened the beautiful package and found the brown, opaque, four-ounce bottle topped with a flip-top dispenser. If you\u2019re more of a pump fan, worry not\u2014there\u2019s a pump dispenser in here, too.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1082725\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1082725\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1082725 js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"maude\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/maude-1_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1082725\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Arroyo Camacho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Review: Maude\u2019s warming lube turned up the heat\u2014and the pleasure<\/h2>\n<h3>During solo play<\/h3>\n<p>As a sex writer, I\u2019ve tried\u00a0<em>a lot<\/em> of lubes in my life, including flavored, warming, and cooling formulas.

I needed to know what it felt like to determine how much I should put on my clitoris\u2014or if I would even like it. Plus, as Maude points out, a patch test is particularly advisable if you\u2019re allergy-prone or have sensitive skin.<\/p>\n<p>Once I knew what it felt like\u2014a warm, gentle wave\u2014I added the lube little by little so I didn\u2019t overheat myself. (Get it?) I experimented with a few drops at first, eventually building up to a nickel-sized amount. That felt good, but I wanted a bit more. As I learned, I like about a quarter-sized amount of Heat.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned above, this lube comes with two dispensers: a pump and a flip-top. While I started with the pump dispenser, I switched to the flip-top lid when I found my personal sweet spot. One full pump is a little more than that quarter-sized portion I needed.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1082729\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1082729\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1082729 js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"maude lube\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/maude-2_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1082729\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Arroyo Camacho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h3>During partnerned play<\/h3>\n<p>The first time I tried Heat was during partnered play. From there, I knew it would be my new go-to for masturbation, too. It wasn\u2019t just pleasurable to me, but it also boosted my partners\u2019 bliss.<\/p>\n<p>Even though\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/internalized-homophobia\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/internalized-homophobia\/\">I\u2019m bisexual<\/a>, I\u2019m only having sex with penis-owners at the moment. Moreover, we stick to penis-to-vagina sex and we tend not to experiment anally\u2014meaning I can\u2019t speak to how this might feel during anal sex. What I can share, however, is how my partners said this felt on their penises.<\/p>\n<p>One of them, who put it directly on his penis, says that he initially liked the sensation. He\u2019s a fan of how fluid this lube is, having never dried out during our interactions. However, as time went on, he found it was a little\u00a0<em>too<\/em>\u00a0hot for his liking.<\/p>\n<p>My primary partner, who simply came into contact with Heat through my vagina, said he didn\u2019t feel much of a difference. However, he did notice that I was more aroused, and thus wetter, when we used this lube.<\/p>\n<h2>Final thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ll sum up Maude Heat in three words: I love it. Heat obviously turns up the temperature in the bedroom (or wherever you\u2019re having sex), but it also made it easier for me to reach orgasm. Considering that this lube is affordable at $20 and that it\u2019s Latine-owned, I can\u2019t find any reason not to keep buying it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
