Durex Embrace - Making sex hot and tingly!
by DannyUK
I once saw a poster for a film which had the small print “This film is rated 15 and contains strong language and infrequent sex.”
I thought “Bloody Hell, my life is a 15!”

Fortunately for me, the infrequent sex is very good sex. If it was an Olympic sport, the only thing that would stop me winning gold is how commonly I come second.
Yes, you’ve guessed it, this is a blog post about sex. Kids, look away. My kids: definitely look away. Adults, read on.
People are different. Some get their kicks in ways that confuse and sicken others. Some don’t. Many couples are adventurous sorts, willing to try anything more than once in a bid to reach orgasmic heaven. Other couples experiment by leaving the bedroom light on during lovemaking once every leap year. It doesn’t matter what category you fall into, Durex Embrace is worth giving a try.
The Durex Embrace packaging.
Although Durex are probably best known for their manufacturing of condoms, they’ve also been making lube for many years too, and this is their latest product.
I know that lube brings up images of a very non-vanilla form of lovemaking and that many women are often aghast at the thought of using it as they feel it implies something negative about either themselves or their bodies. One ex-girlfriend took it as a personal insult when I mentioned it many, many years ago, feeling that I was somehow intimating she needed the extra lubrication. The truth of the matter was that I was just open minded and wanted to experience it, and I’m glad that I did, as it certainly adds an extra something to proceedings.
Durex Embrace is two separate lubricants. One tingly, and one warm. The packaging and design are smooth and fluid though to be honest, packaging design is the last thing I am interested in when choosing something like this, though I understand the need to market it well.
I once managed to injure my thigh muscle, and in an effort to reduce the pain, I slathered Deep Heat all over it. It was great until an hour later when I went to bed and stripped naked. Within minutes, I’d twisted and contorted enough for the Deep Heat to get wiped across my ahem intimate area. The next couple of minutes was spent thinking about how nice and warming it was, but as the temperature increased, it got beyond the point of feeling good and had me rushing to rinse everything under a cold tap.
The speed in which I got to the bathroom convinces me that I could challenge Usain Bolt over 100m if I slathered my unexposed nether regions with Deep Heat shortly before the starting pistol. The period leading up to the burn was strangely welcoming, though, and I’m pleased to say that Durex have captured this perfectly with the warming gel. Applied liberally, it warms immediately and reaches a point where it feels that you are radiating heat, but never goes beyond that. It was like being partially submerged in a hot bath.
The girlfriend agreed that it was a great sensation, and though it neither advanced or delayed the finish, it added an extra feeling to proceedings which we’d definitely try again.
Durex Embrace - Better sex in the palm of your hand!
The other bottle is a tingly one. This did very little for me, and I could barely feel it when I tried it several hours after the first one. It was mildly cool for a short time and then seemed to do nothing. The girlfriend disagreed, though, saying that she could vividly feel it, and likening it to using mint shower gel when bathing (and if you know what that’s like, you’ll understand my ‘cooling’ sensation description). It was definitely less thrilling that the first.
Fortunately, this led us to try both lubes at once, which is what the instructions suggest. Whether it was the application of warmth after the cold, or the fact that we both preferred the warmer gel, it was definitely better. Again, it didn’t change the time it took to finish, but it shifted focus slightly during sex and is definitely something we’d use again in the future.
Aside from the temperature produced by the product, the use of either as a lubricant was as good as any other product I’ve tried. Safe for use with condoms (unlike other lubricants which aren’t water-based and can damage latex), and easy to apply. The lubricants are safe to eat though Durex clearly state that they are not food, just in case you fancied tingly gel on toast in the mornings.
Read my Durex Real Feel condoms review.
Durex Embrace - One Amazing Reaction - As it appears on the official website,
It retails at close to £15, though Boots have it on sale for £9.99, though if you buy Durex Embrace Pleasure Gel on Amazon
It’s not life altering, and it won’t necessarily make you a better lover, but for the sake of a tenner, and given that both bottles contain 60ml of lubricant, it’s a worthwhile addition to the bedroom. If all else fails, you can always cover the outside of the bedroom door handle with it, to prevent little hands from opening the door and interrupting your intimate wrestling match.
Why not visit the official Durex Embrace website.

Exciting ideas… would love to try it!
Sounds like this is a start to a good TV comedy.
Your review definitely made me laugh. I am wondering if these are similar to the old Durex Play lubes? I always found them a quite ‘sticky’! not a nice sensation!
why not!
Your review was really fun and informative..Would be good to see if its as good as it claims to be
Crikey! I’ll give it a go then.
sounds good will have to try it

HAHA loved the final comment of putting it all over the door handle! Have tried other gels before and not thought much to them but this sounds promising that it can at least be felt 🙂
Looks like a good product
Interesting…

Fab review! Makes me want to try Embrace out definately more now 🙂 sure it would put a smile on my mans face 🙂
good review will give it a try
Awesome blog well done! it’s nice to get a mans view on this and since most of us women have shy partners who just nod and point at things it’s nice to read an in-depth but not too in-depth review on an up and coming product.
Very informative yet light hearted review. Handled what some may find an embarrassing subject very well!!
Sounds interesting!
Sounds like great fun 😉
Looks interesting, thanks.
Good review although I almost choked on my hob nob chuckling over your deep heat incident!
Interesting review! x
I love Durex, this is the only brand I use and I cant wait to try this pleasure gel.
I love your writing style. A great review, funny and not too detailed in this case – but all the info required – thanks!

look good and if they hopefully encourage more people to use condoms
Enjoyed the review, very entertaining, now what could we send you next????
all you need for a hot night between the sheets lol…
When I first saw the title of the review I naturally thought condoms (no good to me as I have a female partner). I decided to read though and once I saw the word lube I knew this was for everyone. I think this is worth a try. Thank you for a very honest review.
Great review! Sometimes, reading reviews on products like this can be really off-putting in the way they are written, but I love the light-hearted amusing review. The product sounds great, and I must admit we haven’t used a product like this before but I would certainly be willing to give this a try. Like the fact you can buy it online too…..saves any embarrassing looks in the queue for checkout!
Great review, very informative and fun 🙂
Well, you sold em to me! 🙂
will deffo have to try!
worth a try
Great review, this is all very adult isn’t it! Lol x
Great review! You go really in depth! x
