Rocket body balm - cream discontinued by Hot Pants Products, INC - review by KaraSutra

For those of you looking for a balm, rather than a spray or liquid, the tingling sensation provided by the ‘all natural’ Rocket Balm is one you won’t want to over look.

One of the things I love about this product is the fact that it’s pretty much all natural and doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or cheap fillers. When it comes to the list of ingredients there’s only 10 – all of which are derived from ‘natural’ sources and are things you’d likely find in a massage oil or candle: almond oil, coconut oil, beeswax, shea butter, menthol, peppermint oil, methyl paraben, bht, ginseng, wild oat extract – that’s it.

The packaging is respectful and professional, while also being fun and playful. Other than the word “orgasm” written on the back of the box there isn’t much to worry about (considering you’re just going to throw the box away it’s really not that big of a deal). Out of the box you’ll find a silver tin with stickers on the front and back, the front being like the circular design pictured left and the back offering information on how to use it and the ingredients.

This smooth and creamy balm has an opaque white appearance when in the tin (due to the large amount) but glides on clear during application. It’s by no means runny, fluid or chunky and warms wonderfully with skin contact, allowing it to spread very well over the skin, absorbing quickly and leaving you soft and supple.

There’s a minty scent that’s fresh but sweet (it reminds me of spearmint gum and tastes like it too) with a slight hint of coconut. Having said that this isn't something I'd suggest ingesting as it tastes pretty bad. It's not horrible, but it's really not that great either. If you do happen to get some in your mouth you don't need to worry, being that it's all natural you shouldn't have any issues.

Applying the product is very easy, just slide your fingers over the top of the balm and gently massage a small amount onto the desired area (shaft, head of the penis, nipples,testis etc) until it’s fully absorbed. Almost instantly you’ll notice a slight warm and tingling sensation that’s arousing and heightens any stimulation received. You can also use it for female parts like the clitoris or labia.

Of course you don't just have to use it for sexual purposes - if you try it and find that you don't really like the sensation you could opt for using it as a lip balm - I'm being serious! It contains all the ingredients you'll likely find in a natural lip balm, with the added bonus of it being a lip plumping product. Just sayin.

As for my testers experience…

After the experiences he had with the other products he went easy on the Rocket Balm and only applied a very small amount to the shaft of his penis. He said he could feel the tingly and warm sensation almost instantly, but that it didn’t burn, hurt, sting or irritate like he expected. He said that although it didn’t really do much by way of numbing or delaying his orgasm/ejaculation, that it did actually help him maintain a certain level of arousal simply because it was such an interesting sensation. When I asked him what he thought of the product over all he said it was one he’d try again and was very pleased with the results – I guess 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

*Because it contains natural oils it is NOT compatible with latex, if you’re going to use this for intercourse make sure you have another method of protection available.

*like any other product, if an irritation, rash or a burning sensation occurs discontinue using it and wash the area well – cool water is usually best.

After using more than half the tin we've both come to realize how much we enjoy this balm. The consistency remains as does the scent, compared to other oil based balms that will quickly go 'off' and start to go stale and smell funky. It's especially great for hand jobs and nipple play, just make sure that if you're going to engage in intercourse (with condoms) you take the time to wash it off completely.
