This Stimulating Pleasure balm from Kama Sutra is meant to arouse the senses on your most private of areas. I'm not sure why they call it a balm, since its clearly more of a gel than anything. I didn't find that this "balm" worked very well to suit my needs. I have a very hard time reaching climax quickly. I'm one of those folks that need a little "coaxing" in that area.

The Kama Sutra Stimulating Pleasure Balm is paraben free and hypoallergenic. This balm is edible, but I would not recommend it, since it tastes awful in my opinion. It tastes very bitter and nothing like raspberry flavored balm should.

The packaging is a standard Kama Sutra box and the balm is stored inside of a tube that sits on the cap. The box does say "Kama Sutra" in big lettering, "Raspberry Kiss" at the bottom and it does say "Stimulating Balm" on the top in smaller print. So, its not very discreet, depending on where you are placing it. The cap is twist off and flip top with a small opening for the product to come out through. Even though this isn't a very large hole for the product, the balm is runny enough to where you will need to be careful to watch just how much you are applying. It will come out quickly. Cap/lid does not leak-bonus!

Ingredients: Water (Aqua/Eau), Sucrose, Glycerin, Alcohol Denat., Polysorbate 80, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Menthyl Lactate, Flavor (Aroma), Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Saccharine, Red 33 (CI 17200), Blue 1 (CI 42090).

This balm comes with 1.7 fluid ounces and total weight is 2.5 ounces. There is quite a bit of balm and if you use sparingly, you'll more than likely need to replace it from being too old, before it even runs out. You should make sure to keep your gels, balms and products of this nature updated and "fresh" so that the "stimulating" ingredients are at their peak and still working well. Otherwise, if your products are too old or have been exposed to cold and hot repeatedly, this can diminish the effectiveness of the product.

For me, this balm did "OK" of a job. It was tingly, as it claims, but only for a short while. The tingling sensation did not last very long. It was enough to "jump start" things though, for sure. I found, again, that the oral sex idea with this gel was not the best. Because of the awful aftertaste and the lack of raspberries, we decided it was not good for oral.

If purchasing or considering purchasing this product, I would say take my review with a grain of salt on the "sensation" aspect. Everyones body is different. Sensitivity levels are different. However, I am pretty sure my pallet is going to scream the same thing as yours "Yucky taste".

Another Use: I Would suggest using as a nipple intensifier. Mine have been beating to a bloody pulp with breasfeeding and other things, so my sensitivity levels are VERY low. So, this gel didn't do much for me in that regard, but it might do something for you! Just a thought.

Tried this a few more times before totally giving it up. However, we found that it just isn't worth our time to use. The taste is awful and we really wanted to try this (for the flavored feature), so it doesn't really suit our needs. As far as the sensitizing factor, its just not doing it for me. To each their own. This one went in the garbage, sadly. Lesson learned I suppose!
