Topical gels/creams when used regularly, either daily, or at least 3 days a week on average will build up in the upper layer of skin and over time will transcend to the lower layers and even the bloodstream.

A lot of these gels contain chemicals that cannot be absorbed naturally and use assistant oils like Glycerin to enter the skin. Glycerin can dry the skin out leading to pH imbalances and chaffing.

Repeated use inundates the skin, just like topical antibacterial/anti-fun gal creams/ointment, With long-term use of such items the skin may develop permanent stretch marks (striae), weaken considerably, cause bruising, some discolouration, or thin spidery blood vessels (telangiectasias).

I'm not say this will happen, but it can with any long term use of such products, most use a burn chemical that tingly feeling is usually caused by a mix of acid and capsicum oil.

So you see my concern. less

There are several common ingredients to avoid such as parabens, glycerine, phthalates, among some other commonly found ingredients. Definitely, there are some ingredients to stir clear from. Since there is no definitive rule book, I've found that the best way to learn about body safety & what's safe for my own body is to be informed & not just rely on any one source, too. There's lots of info. on the internet that we can learn from about lube safety. less

TTG,
How about these ingredients copied off our bottle of G stim gel :
Water, Propanediol(natual humectant) Carrageenan, L-Argine HCL,Cutric Acid, Niacin,Evening Primrose Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate .Meththol, Sodium Benzoate.

So it sounds like repeated use of this is not good ? less

Actually that is a good one, i see no issue with regular or repeated use:

Propanediol is a natural humectant which means it is used to maintain moisture of the formula. Carrageenan is a powerful lubricating ingredient and there are some studies that have shown its soothing effects. L-arginine, used in this manner, is a sexual desire booster that works by increasing sensation on the areas where it is applied topically. L-arginine is converted in the body into a chemical called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to open wider for improved blood flow. L-arginine also stimulates the release of growth hormone, insulin, and other substances in the body. Niacin also increases sensation to improve pleasure during sexual activities. Menthol is a stimulating ingredient while evening primrose oil also improves sensation.

Claims are usually made that such products are completely safe but some women who have tried it say it causes side effects like skin irritation and a slight stinging sensation. This may be an indication that the user is hypersensitive to any of the ingredients in the formula.

Perform skin testing to check for hypersensitivity before using it is my best advice. less
