Durex Play 2 in 1 Massage Gel

The manufacturer said: 'Durex Play 2 in 1 Massage Gel is sensitive enough for every part of your body and can even be used as a lube. It's water based, so is compatible with condoms and if you happen to taste it, you'll find It pleasantly sweet.

Our tester Jill said: 'Designed to be used all over the body, this two-in-one gel is not really the money-saver it may seem. The gel feels smooth when first applied, but quickly becomes sticky, making it less than ideal for massaging. Fragrance free and containing vitamin E, the gel is soothing and condom friendly, making it ideal for use on intimate areas. However, the gel formula lacks the smooth consistency of a lubricant and doesn't have the staying power of a massage oil. Forget the two-in-one concept and opt for a separate massage oil and lubricant, you'll be saving money in the long run.' 4/10

Massage Gel costs around £6.49, from Boots, Superdrug, Ann Summers and www.durex.co.uk.

Durex Play 2 in 1 Massage Melts

The manufacturer said: 'Chill to thrill. Freezable intimate lube & massage gel. Play 2in1 Massage Melts are pure skin-quivering silky-smooth pleasure, packed in a single-use cube. Use them over every inch of the body for icy, tingling massage or lubrication. Simply freeze, apply, and wait for meltdown...

'Play lubes can ease vaginal dryness & intimate discomfort whilst creating a sensual experience for both of you.'

Our tester Becky said: 'I was a little dubious about having these frozen pods of lubricant rubbed onto my skin especially when it was minus-five outside but, after the initial shock, they really got my skin tingling and added an element of fun into mine and my boyfriend's usual routine. He's far too ticklish for me to even attempt to massage him with these pods so instead I lay back and let him do all the work, definitely a plus in my book! I was worried that as the pods melted I would be left with a load of sticky goop all over me but thankfully, times have changed and these little capsules are water-based and completely non-sticky. The only downside was that when melted, the capsules were a little runny so didn't make a great lubricant but otherwise, a great way to incorporate a little fun-filled passion into the bedroom.' 9/10 

Massage Melts cost around £6.99, from Boots, Tesco, Ann Summers and www.durex.co.uk.
