First things first... the ingredients. Straight from the side of the box:
Some of you may have read my review for
KY Yours and Mine, about how it felt like my crotch was on fire. Since then, I have used several of these 'tingling' lubes, with no problem. As per the side of the Reverse box, it says it's supposed to tingle. I've decided that by tingle, they mean that it will feel like you put tabasco sauce in your vagina. I literally just did all this about half an hour ago, and it hurt so bad that I am STILL sweating my ass off. My experience with the KY (and my unmedicated home birth of my son) was a walk in the park compared to what happened seconds after I put the Reverse Tightening Gel in my vagina. I am SO glad that I did this now, instead of when we were about to have sex. It burned so fucking bad. I ran around like crazy trying to find a douche bottle in the medicine cabinet, only to realize that I've never douched before. I was depsperate to get this crap out of me. So desperate, in fact, that I ended up lifting the lid to the toilet, and sitting in the water. I couldn't even wait to put water in the tub. It was THAT bad. Don't worry... I took a shower after that. But there is STILL a slight burning sensation in there. And my vagina does NOT feel any tighter. Maybe by tighter, they mean it will swell up. I don't know.
I have my suspicion for which ingredient caused this, but I'm not sure. Cinnamonum cassia resin is basically cinnamon. So, I just put effing CINNAMON in my vagina. I'm not going to dwell on this too long, because I can't say for sure that was the problem, but I can tell you that I'm not allergic to cinnamon, and I have gotten it up my nose before (don't ask) and it burned pretty damn bad.
That being said, I can't speak for the bodies of every woman. I don't know if this will happen to you. I highly recommend that before going all gung-ho and sticking it in your cooter, you test it on a small area of your inner labia, or something like that (your clit probably isn't a good idea) where it's easy to wash off if burning occurs.
Do they hate women!?
