I purchased this to help aid in my achieving orgasm. It has been more difficult for me to get to and was hoping the extra arousal would aid in this. The bottle comes in a very cute little box, and has detailed instructions, including some background information on the product and how it's used.

The gel has a slight minty smell to it. The instructions advise you to apply couple drops to the clitoris and massage in. It is made to help increase the blood flow to the area, and help the clitoris become more sensitive to achieve bigger and better climax. I found it took more than a couple of drops to even feel any tingling. The tingly sensation did not seem to last long for me, and I had to apply it again and again to keep the sensation going. My partner did not like the taste when providing oral stimulation. He also said that it made his tongue feel numb.

The gel left the area sticky, but was pretty easy to clean up with just soap and water. With repeated applications, and stimulation with a vibrator, or just my or my partners hand, it provided extra arousal. When first applied it had a cooling sensation, which did not lead ultimately to a quicker climax. I did not notice any special effects other than the cooling sensation during regular intercourse, and it did not help me achieve climax any faster or stronger. I would not recommend it for use with oral stimulation.

The gel was safe to use with the toys that I have made of silicone and jelly. I did not try any other materials so I'm not sure how it would react with them.

I found the gel to be more trouble than it was worth. The ultimate effect was not something that made me say wow, and want to come back for more.

I have continued to try the Shunga occasionally hoping that it would work better for me, but still no luck. I know others have had great success with it so I will keep trying.
