Lip Balm... for your girly bits
The Flower Body Balm is an excellent addition to solo play or partnered sex and is really a pretty great value as it should last you a good long while. The citrus-mint fragrance is pleasant and not overpowering. I love the fact that this is so convenient to use and not messy like some arousal products can be.Published: October 22, 2010
Pros:
Nice tingly sensation, not messy at all.
Cons:
Ingredients might irritate some, parabens.
I am honestly a fan of the Flower Body Balm. It comes in a little pink box that holds the handy little tin with a pretty pink flower on it. The box was superfluous (I hate excess packaging) but not ridiculously so. The tin is nice and compact and easy to open. What I think I love the most about this product is that it is in fact a balm. It is the opposite of messy. No spills, no goopy gooey gross feeling. It is kinda slick, but I am not sure that I would call this a lube, as some of the other reviews have. I feel like you'd have to use a good deal of this product to get anything nice and slippery. In combination with the natural lubrication that one's body produces, however, it is delightful.
There really aren't any instructions with this product other than 'rub this on your naughty parts', but you don't need to know much more than that. It can also be used wherever you want a nice tingly sensation, but it didn't do much for me in any area other than my clitoris and labia. I can't complain though... I didn't get this to use anywhere other than my clit and labia, so I win.
I used the Flower Body Balm solo, during masturbation. I massaged it into, under, and all around my clitoral hood. Oh goodness, did it feel nice. A very pleasant, strong-but-not-too-strong tingly sensation. I only had to use a minimal amount of the balm, and it felt lovely on my skin. The balm has a nice citrus-mint aroma. The oh-so-nice tingly sensation lasted until well after I had finished my little self love session. Clean up was super easy, and not even necessary if you kind of want to hang on to the sexy-tingling-refreshing feeling for a while. The balm is no gooey or greasy, so you don't feel like you need a shower immediately after you come.

Experience
I used the body balm with nothing but my hand. It definitely heightened the sensitivity of my clit, it smells absolutely fabulous, and it definitely added a little something to my solo play. I did not use this balm during sex with a partner, as the boyfriend does not get along with menthol at all, something we found out the hard way after trying out the Rocket Balm.
Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
This stuff is okay. I mean...eh. I liked it a lot when I first got it, but I have used other products designed with the same goal in mind that this stuff does not compare to. I'd still say it is a good place to start if you are looking for something new and tingly for your girly bits, but it pales in comparison to other products I have since tried.

are any of these ingridients harmful?

I'm personally not sure. However, if you are concerned about the ingredients, you can do an internet search on them and possible side effects. Any product can pose a threat for sensitive skin allergies. If you purchase these types of items, it's a good idea to test a small amount before applying liberally to be on the safe side.

Thank you for viewing Flower body balm – cream review page!
Seems like a neat little product. Good review.
That looks interesting. Nice review.
Thanks for the review
I'd somehow missed seeing this before. I keep meaning to try a clitoral arousal gel and think that when I finally do get around to trying one I'll go with Shunga Secret Garden since you say this one was not exactly the best.
Thanks for the heads-up!
Selective Sensualist - I definitely prefer the Secret Garden to this. I do still love that this stuff is not runny or messy at all, which is super convenient, but the Secret Garden just works better, lasts longer, and is more intense.
Thanks for the review and follow up. I always find the follow ups to be important as the excitement of the new product has worn off a bit.
Yeah...this was the first clitoral arousal product I had used...and I do still think it is a decent product, especially if mess and convenience are big concerns of yours...but it can't stand up against Shunga Secret Garden (my fave).
Thanks for the review! I have this and enjoy it every so often, but I will really have to take your advice and try the Shunga.... I'm on a never-ending quest to find the perfect "enhancement/arousal" product.
Thanks for the review I never used such a thing but want to try it. Also thanks for the follow up review and saying you prefer the Shunga Secret Garden.
I definitely prefer the Shunga, but this stuff is super convenient and you'll never make a mess with it.
Interesting. I've never seen a balm for junk before!
thanks for the review
Thanks for the review!

There's nothing wrong with trying new products.
