When I purchased this gel, I wasn't sure what to expect as it had some mixed reviews on various sites. To start off with, the packaging was easy enough to open; I didn't have to break out a table saw to get through the plastic! The smell was pleasant; you can definitely detect the mint in it, but it's not overpowering or repulsive like some gels with mint can be. When I squeezed some out, it seemed thick at first, but once my body temperature had a few seconds to warm it up, it became thinner and smooth. Not too slick, definitely not sticky. It did seem a little drippy, so if you're worried about getting some on the sheets of your bed, start with just a little to get an idea of the texture. (And believe me, you only need a little!)

So, on to the practical application test. "Oh, Baby!" Yeah, it's that good. It started to work immediately. It simply calls itself "Tingle Gel", but it did more than make me tingle. With the help of my lover, and later that evening my favorite rabbit, it was sending shivers of delight up and down my back and inner thighs. It was heating up my lady parts in a most delicious way, and had me climaxing faster than ever before... three times in a row. When I was done with my "me" time, it was easy to clean off my toy and myself, and it left a pleasant tingling afterward that made me have to change my panties again later! My lover said the taste reminded him of wintergreen chewing gum, he actually enjoyed the gel more than the gum! He also said the scent wasn't overpowering when he was in the midst of giving oral; he's kind of against heavy scents and things that are "too girly", so it passed his manly test. It was noticeably more tingly when my partner was the one pleasing me orally, but still provided a great deal of sensation with the toy.

The only thing that makes me a little sad is the sensation doesn't last longer! Also, as a side note to the strength of the gel, I'm sensitive to many types of warming/tingling lubricants. They often end up burning my sensitive skin and I'm stuck running off to the bathroom to quickly wash it off as I feel like "my loins are burning", and not in a pleasant way. That was not the case for this gel, which I'm incredibly thankful for! Some people have commented it's not terribly strong, but for someone who is sensitive, I found it to be more than stimulating. All around, it is a wonderful product. At the rate I'm enjoying it, I'll have to order more soon! I'm glad that it has such a reasonable price tag and that so little can do so much!

I forgot to mention in my intial review, my Tingle Gel was a pinkish red, not green as pictured, but apparently it's the same product.

Besides that oversight with my initial review, I just want to say that I still love this gel. I picked up some more recently as I'm about halfway through this bottle and don't want to run out. Yay for Tingle Gel! I also ordered a few other sensation gels/oils, we'll see if they can rival this one. I'm not holding my breath though, this gel really is fantastic, especially for the price.
