This toy was definitely designed
I decided to try
Vigel gel because it is very difficult for me to orgasm, and I was hoping the gel would help things along. Vigel gel contains peppermint and L-Arginine, an ingredient that is supposed to increase feminine arousal by improving clitoral sensitivity and the frequency of orgasm. It is also a sterile, pharmaceutical grade product, available without a prescription! I was so excited when the gel arrived, and hoped it would give me what I needed- orgasms without so much work! I knew my husband would be very grateful as well if that happened, and also get a bit of a confidence boost. It comes in a very small bottle, but there is enough gel supposedly for 30 applications.
After some foreplay, I applied the gel per the directions on the box. The gel is to be applied directly into the tissue underneath the clitoris, and I applied a generous amount. I felt a little bit of tingling right away from the peppermint in the gel, but nothing extreme. As time went on I did feel a little more sensitive in my clitoral region but nothing mind-blowing. The directions did say that it may take up to three applications on three consecutive days to feel the full benefits, so we tried it again the next night. Again, same results. Slight tingling, a little sensitivity, that's it. So, on the third night, we used the gel again, only this time we used a
vibrating cock ring as well. It felt really good and I did orgasm a little sooner than I normally would have without using the gel.
It was disappointing, but I think some women just have more trouble orgasming than others, and I am one of those women. This gel may work great for someone who normally does not have much trouble achieving orgasm, but it certainly won't perform miracles for those who do have trouble.
I think with a lot of sexual enhancers, it's 30% chemistry and 70% placebo effect (a little more effective than, say, pheromone sprays, which turn me on more than my boyfriend! =P). I purchased this unisex arousal cream at a sex party because, like you, I used to have (and still sometimes have) some difficulty achieving orgasm. However, my experience turned out much like yours: it was NICER, but it still didn't really do the trick! In my experience, difficulty with achieving orgasm has more to do with a woman's mental/emotional state than with what kinds of magical creams and potions you're slathering onto your clitoris and vulva. Make sure you're comfortable in your environment and in a good mental and emotional state. I know I always get off easier when my boyfriend romances me and gives me a nice warm massage before we heat things up ;] I wish you the best of luck!
Sounds bunk!
AAG - you're now all about the Hitachi now, huh?
Regarding the tingling, if you want more of that, try having your partner (if have one, or more) going down on you after drinking peppermint tea, or Creme de Menthe.
Also, if you feel you're having orgasm trouble, I HIGHLY recommend the book and video series "Becoming Orgasmic." Lots of women have really benefited from it.
The tingle is from the peppermint (menthol in other similar products).
Don't waste your dollars on something like this. Save up for a good solid vibe like the Hitachi instead.

From the forum: link
There is some connection between the consumption of L-Arginine and herpes outbreaks. There are no conclusive statements yet on whether this is also true of topical application, but something to keep in mind for those with HSV!
