My best friend swears by Liquid V, and her rave review prompted me to spend twenty-something dollars on a bottle of it at a local sex shop. I had tried one or two stimulating menthol-based creams before, and found them mediocre at best, but I had high expectations for Liquid V after my friend's exuberant review.

I went home, laid in bed, and applied one drop to my clit, like the instructions suggest. I rubbed away, waiting for something to happen. After a few minutes, I started to feel a cold, tingly sensation from the menthol. While this sensation wasn't bad, I was expecting a lot more. I applied a few more drops, hoping it would boost the sensation, and was rewarded with... more cold, minty tingle! Where was the heat and stimulation I was promised?

The cooling menthol was a good sensation, and did make my clit feel slightly more sensitive, more than any other menthol cream I've tried before. But for the money, I want a lot more than menthol! I would rather buy a cheaper menthol/stimulating gel that I can use a lot of without feeling like I'm throwing all my money away. I don't have a very sensitive clit (I can use a Magic Wand on high without dying), so maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe it would work better for someone who already has a sensitive clit to begin with. But I definitely wouldn't recommend this product to anyone that needs more sensitivity.

I've tried it a couple more times since then, with the same result, and I am definitely not impressed. I gave it two stars, because it does give more menthol tingle than any other product I've tried, but I would not buy it again, or really even bother with what I have left. I think I used half the bottle the first few times I tried it, and the rest is lost in my nightstand somewhere, if that says anything about how much I liked it!
