Best Tingling Lubes [Experts Recommended 2023 Comparison of Best Tingling Lubes [Experts Recommended 2023

Organic, vegan, cruelty-free, and—best of all—edible, this oil-based formula provides a smooth, woody warmth that tantalizes your nose and...you know, other places, too. You can use it on ALL your erogenous zones, and while it's oil-based, so it can't be used with condoms and some toys, it *is* safe for internal use. This clitoral balm has a silky smooth texture thanks to the coconut oil and hemp seed base, and though it's a no-go with latex condoms, it’s safe for other materials. It's also made with soybean, avocado, jojoba, and peppermint oils, so it'll leave ya feeling soothed and rejuvenated. So how do sex gels work, you ask? According to Organic Loven and Sisters of Sexuality Collective founder Taylor Sparks (who's also an erotic educator), arousal gels help to open your blood vessels, which then increase oxygen delivery and blood flow to the genitals. "This increases sensitivity and vaginal secretions to intensify orgasms," she explains. Think wetter, more sensational climaxes that are much easier to achieve—love that for you.

This bb brings the heat in a VapoRub way but, like... sexy, condom-safe VapoRub. And for the resulting five-star orgasms, worth it. (Tip: The mentholated sensation doesn't magically stop when you orgasm, so skip the pillow talk and go for round two instead—you might as well!) Important PSA: Definitely don’t try to substitute with a product not marketed as a sex or arousal gel, like Bengay or Icy-Hot, Cross notes. You might think it's the same thing since that stuff is also "cooling," but it's a really, r eally bad idea. "Those products aren't meant to go on such sensitive skin or inside the body," Cross says, so unless you like weird infections and reactions, keep 'em away from your vagina, mmkay? As for where the stuff actually goes, co-CEO and co-founder of Her Highness, Laura Eisman, says to apply the arousal gel around the labia, clitoris, and inside the vagina to get the full effect. She also adds that if you accidentally put too much on, wash it off with some warm water and a mild (preferably unscented) soap, and add a little coconut oil if it's available to help soothe your skin. Key Ingredients: Soybean oil, coconut oil, shea butter, peppermint, hemp seed oil, apricot oil, avocado oil, hemp seed oil, menthol, and jojoba oil

Is it cheap? LOL, no. But it is so, so worth your coin, promise. This naturally moisturizing oil-based serum is made with traditional botanicals like maca, damiana, and spilanthes acmella that'll have you lubricated and stimulated in no time. Even a few lil drops can take you to a next-level orgasm. This formula doesn't contain arginine, menthol, or citrus, so if you're allergic to any of those, this would be a good one to try. It's made with an oil base, so you can't use it with latex condoms, but you *can* use it with polyurethane condoms. If you experience vaginal dryness, then this serum is seriously a MUST. Developed by the lead experts behind Viagra and Cialis (yes, really), this first-of-its-kind pleasure gel is formulated with liposomes, which means the CBD is enclosed in protective lil bubbles that can penetrate deeper into your vaginal and clitoral muscles. The result: more frequent and more intense orgasms for you. No wonder so many reviewers call it a game-changer!! Tamika K.
