Coochy protection - aftershave discontinued by Classic Erotica - review by Dawn (Lilac Distraction)

Are you tired of razor burn? Do you hate those little red bumps that pop up after shaving? Do you hate itchiness and irritation? Well, fret no more, honey. Coochy Protection spray will keep all of those things at bay! Obviously, you can use it for your lady parts. The "female friendly" sprayer works from all angles. You can also use it on underarms, legs, boy parts, any anywhere else that needs a shave from time to time. It's also great to use after waxing! It will leave any area free of irritation, odor, and bumps. It's also great for getting your coochy super soft and silky!

This is another product that I've had a hard time finding a real ingredient list for online. (It's listed on the bottle, but I'm finding different formulations on trusted websites.) Here is a basic rundown:

Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Lavendula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Chamomillia Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glarbal (Licorice) Root Extract, Echinacea Agustifolia Extract, Triticum Wulgare (Wheat) germ extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem extract, Lilium Candidum Bulb Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Dipotassium glycyrrhizate, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) oil, Benzyl Alcohol, Polyquaternium-10, Potassium Sorbstat, Disodium EDTA

As you can see, it's got some pretty good stuff in it. The older formulations of the product had a nasty list of parabens in them. This is a highly natural product, so it shouldn't be too likely to cause a reaction. However, if you've noticed, it does contain glycerin. If you have a severe glycerin problem, I'd probably pass on this, but seeing as it's not something you'll be applying internally, it shouldn't give you much of a problem. (Look at the Personal Comments section for some claims the website make about the formula. I have e-mailed the company about the different ingredient lists I've found and will update this when/if I get a response.)

This sprays out in a kind of frothy manner. The sprayer can work from all angles, so it's great at getting in all of those underneath spots. It's a pretty watery, light spray that dries quickly. I usually rub mine in a bit to make sure it's gotten full coverage. It dries within a minute and leaves your skin really smooth.

It leave a skin protecting barrier behind to protect your newly shaven area from irritation and bacteria. Even though it does this, I haven't really noticed any residue or lingering feeling from it. The feeling is more dry and natural than anything.

Technically, the fragrance sold here is called "Botanical Fragrance", meaning it smells like plant-like things. I really like the smell and it was very familiar to me. After thinking it over and over, I realized that it smells almost exactly like the KamaSutra Treasure of the Sea Bath Salt and the KamaSutra Ocean Blu body wash that I'm obsessed with. Seriously, that stuff is a staple in my bathroom because the smell makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. It's a slightly aquatic, cool scent. It's not overly feminine. I have a hard time placing exactly what this scent is comparable to.

The scent isn't strong at all. It's very delicate and you have to get up pretty close to actually smell it. While ribbing against clothing or going about your daily activities, it's virtually gone in an hour or so.

What this stuff will do is shrink your pores after shaving to help protect you from any irritation. It works as an astringent/antibacterial shield that will protect your area from chafing from clothing. It's best when used after the Coochy Shave Cream for best results. You can apply this immediately after shaving, and then continue using it daily for better results. It comes in a 4 oz bottle, and only one or two sprays are needed for each application, so it should last you for quite a while.

I really wasn't too incredibly impressed with it. I still managed to have a little razor burn after using this in conjunction with the shave cream. I really couldn't even tell too much of a difference. I usually use 100% shea butter after shaving to protect me from irritation and to soothe and hydrate my skin, and I found that that worked a little bit better. I was still itchy and had a few bumps. This stuff did work a little bit better than nothing, though.

There really aren't any instructions or anything special included on the package. It does say the word "Coochy", so it may need the label pulled off if you need to be really discreet about things.

I wanted to see what the manufacturer had to say about the formula because I was finding conflicting ingredient lists all around. If you go to ClassicErotica.net, this is what you'll find regarding this product:
