Sweet, Sweet Raspberry Kisses
Shunga Massage Cream, while thin for a cream, adds a wonderful dimension to sensual massage in that it tastes as good as it smells. Sweet, fruity, fully absorbed by the skin, it's very kissable and even works well as an every day sort of lotion. A bit sticky in the heat, but otherwise fantastic!Published: June 24, 2010
Pros:
Smells sweet, tastes good, lasts decently, absorbs well
Cons:
A bit on the thin side for a cream, contains glycerin and petrolatum
I am forever a fan of Shunga and the Massage Cream only solidifies that fact.
It comes in the typical Shunga packaging; a black tub with Japanese art across the front and top. The generous 7 oz tub is short and squat with a wide mouth and a screw on lid.
I got the Raspberry Kisses flavor/scent and, while it does smell like raspberry, it smells more like a raspberry candy than an actual berry. It's sugary sweet and possibly too potent for those who prefer a more natural or lighter scent.
The cream itself is actually quite thin. You can dump it right out of the tub rather than having to dip your fingers in. It's good for massage, lasting about as long as any lotion does - maybe ten, fifteen minutes.
What I prefer it most for, however, is for use as a simple body cream. It keeps me smelling sweet and edible for a few hours, which is usually sure to lead to lots of kisses, licks, nips and frisky behavior. I like to layer it with the matching Sweet Snow by Shunga, which really makes the scent last a lot longer and turns me into an edible treat.
The cream spreads on easily, a little bit going a long way. If you get too much on your hands/body part, you really need to rub and rub and rub to make it sink in or spread out. Start with a small amount and work up to see how it absorbs rather than dumping out a huge handful.
The flavor is light, more sugary than raspberry-y. It's neither too much nor too little but sort of just right for a bit of kissy, licky fun. It does feel a little sticky when you first put it on - or if you start to sweat - but the stickiness fades and the cream pretty much absorbs in like any other lotion. Showering after use isn't really needed and it doesn't seem to stain sheets or clothing.
Be careful using this on your girl bits, however, as it does contain both glycerin and pertrolatum. Those who may be sensitive should avoid their vulva all together. Men are much more lucky and it actually works fairly well as a masturbation aid, with the added bonus of tasting good if you switch to oral lovin'.
All in all, I'm fond of the Shunga Massage Cream. I like KamaSutra better, but the Shunga is very nice.

Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
After a few months, I've decided I truly, truly like this as an actual massage cream - unlike the Kama Sutra body soufflé, which I use more as a lotion.
For a cream, it gives an amazingly long lasting massage and the fact that it's lickable and kissable thrills the nibbler in me.
It also blends really well with my cotton candy body spray, so when I DO use it as a lotion, I smell like a sweet treat at the state fair.
What? Nothing wrong with that. :P
On a serious note, this is definitely worth it's cost, as I've covered an entire body in it at least 15 -20 times and have not even used half the container.

Does the Shunga massage cream smell like yogurt?
-
I've tried the Kama Sutra Body Souffle's and they smell like yogurt. Do these smell like that too? Or are these more sugary/candy like? I really don't like the yogurty smell, it's just not my thing. Also when you rub this in does it start to pill up like the Kama Sutra does? Thanks.

In general Shunga products are more candy like than Kama Sutra's. The one I have from Shunga, the cherry one, doesn't smell like yogurt at all. To me it smelled (and tasted) a lot like candy, you can read my review on it here. This one seems to soak in like a regular lotion would, only it tastes better.

I don't think they smell like yogurt! I found raspberry kiss, vanilla, and cherry scents in this body butter quite enjoyable!

Thank you for viewing Shunga massage cream review page!
MMMMM a raspberry flavored blowjob, sign me up! I love all things massageable but I missed this one! Thanks for the review and the new wish list item.
Excellent video! I have almost every single one of Shunga's products in multiple flavors...but NO Kama Sutra. LOL
Sounds yummy! Thanks for the review!
Lauren,
I just recently got my first kama sutra stuff and, so far, the only thing I like better than shunga is the body souflee and the love oil drops. Everywhere else, Shunga rules.
This sounds yummy
Wow, thanks so much for this. I was about to purchase the Shunga massage cream but maybe I will have to check out the Body Souffle. Ooh, and I love your hair!
I just saw your comment now lol. That's good to know. I tend to drift towards brand loyalty and Shunga is an awesome company. So would you say you STILL like the Kama Sutra body Souffle better after this update?
Yup. I still like it better, all around, over all. But I like Shunga better for massage.
great review
Great review! Definitely wanna try more scents of this. I love the chocolate!
Thanks for the review!
I have the vanilla kama sutra and the cherry shunga- and feel the exact opposite. When the vanilla is rubbed in, I feel like it smells gross. Granted, it feels awesome, but besides that it doesn't really appease to me. Although in the container it smells like frosting. The cherry shunga is thicker than what the raspberry looks like in your video too. And tastes freakin awesome.
Awesome fantabulous review (like always)
Thanks for the great review. I enjoy more "candy like" things and thus will likely enjoy these. Am ordering some. I think the TASTE GREAT crowd wins over the TERRIBLE reviews.
thanks!
Thank you for sharing your review!
Another awesome review! Thanks so much for reviewing.
Great review!
Good review...
Thank you for the review and video!
