Cleopatra's secret - arousal lube by Classic Erotica - review by Darling Jen

What's smooth and creamy, green and dreamy, fresh and minty? Cleopatra's Secret Female Arousal Creme in Cool Mint flavor!

This minty, green cream is best used for external stimulation only. It definitely works so if you got any inside the vaginal or anal orifice, it could actually go from pleasurable and intense straight to burning and miserable. This stuff just isn't made to be used as lubrication and the sensitive mucosal walls inside your body will not be happy about it. So just stick to the exterior parts of the body, ok? Rub a drop on your (or your partner's) clit or maybe the nipples. Yummm, tingly pleasure.

Also, this cream is safe for oral sex. No, really it is! But let me warn you ahead of time that if you don't let it soak into the body of the receiver first, the person giving oral sex will have one numb, tingly, minty mouth! After all, there is a generous amount of peppermint oil in this cream.

Oh green gooey substance, you may be called a 'cream' but you're much more like a gel. Don't worry, I won't hold it against you. But I will hold you against me.



Cleopatra's cool mint cream isn't very thick and is a little creamier than lotion but it's definitely not watery. It's viscosity is enough to keep it in place where you want it and it won't run down your finger when applying. In fact, when held upside down for a while, it didn't drip at all. It will definitely melt a little with body heat once placed in a warmer location though. Perfect consistency for an arousal cream, in my opinion. And amazingly it doesn't leave me feeling greasy or sticky after applying. Lovely stuff, Cleo!

Did I mention this cream smells and tastes like mint? Well, let me reiterate: it's cool, minty, tingly, and refreshing! I have an affinity for mint, myself, but if toothpaste/chewing gum peppermint isn't to your tastes, I'd look into another flavor. (Though I'm sure it won't tingle as well as the mint flavor!) The aroma isn't very strong at all, actually. You have to press your face against the body part to which it was applied in order to smell it but it's just enough to bring a smile to my face.

And oh my cool minty cream, how you did perform for me. How you tingled and cooled against my secret place and left me squirming and sighing. I can lick you up because you're safe to consume and you leave a fresh peppermint taste on my tongue. Oh yes, I am addicted to Cleo's little secret.

The product's effects lasted at least 10 minutes (based on how much I applied) and was plenty strong enough to get me through not only the foreplay but often times was still cooling against me as I recovered from climaxing. But good thing it does absorb eventually and stops doing its magic on its own because each time I fell asleep without washing it off and felt fine. I wasn't sticky or uncomfortable in the slightest! And it easily washed off my hands (and other body parts) whenever I made it to the bathroom that night or the next morning.

I haven't had any problems with staining up to this point. It's water-based and won't give you near as much trouble as oil-based lubricant. But also, since it's not watery and you don't need much in one dose, it shouldn't be getting on anything but your body anyway!

Oh secret cream of minty goodness, you don't need a special box or bow to top your little squirt bottle. It works absolutely perfectly and require no strain at all on my part. It deposits the perfect little dollop onto my finger tip to rub against the body part aching for the tingle your peppermint oil brings.

As you can kind of see through the cap in the picture, it's a pump bottle. Yes it's a very small amount, but a little goes a long way so this should last you a while. It's a no-mess bottle which makes it great for me because I pump a squirt out and the bottle gets tossed aside until the clean up later.



But the bottle isn't too discreet. If someone weren't stopping to read it, it'd be fine. It could pass as some green-tinted toiletry product that women use and men tend to ignore. But once they see "Female Arousal Creme", the gig is up. There's no mistaking what that means. But thankfully this little bottle doesn't have pictures of naked people and is small enough to hide anywhere from prying eyes.

"Ohhh, I think it's actually working this ti-ohhhh!"

That was pretty much my first reaction to using this stuff. I had tried many a product before this searching for that special tingle. But I finally found Cleopatra's Cream (by the way, Cleo, stop hoarding your little secret!) and it's everything I wanted and more! It works! I mean, it really works. If you're not sure you want to tingle or have a chilly, menthol sensation then you need to steer clear of this product. It's not for the sensation-fearing user.

But if you're tired of half-way arousal creams and gels, this one won't let you down. And the fact that it smells amazing, is water-based, and safe for oral sex are all the more amazing peppermint-flavored icing on the cake!
