Apronal anal spray - lubricant discontinued by Joyful Pleasures - review by LittleBoPeep

Apronal Anal spray is intended for use before anal sex. This spray is designed to relax the sphincter so that the anus is easier and less painful to penetrate. Note that the spray does not numb the anus or have any anesthetic effects. After you spray Apronal Anal Spray on the sphincter (it says that one to two sprays should be sufficient) you should gently rub it in and wait three to ten minutes. There shouldn't be any type of allergic reactions to the product because it's made with all natural herbs and has been thoroughly tested as non-allergenic. This product can be used on both the male anus and the female anus, no sexism here! It is also safe to use with condoms and lubes.

The Apronal Anal Spray comes out in a thick mist, almost like mosquito repellent. It is the tiniest bit greasy feeling and has a thin consistency. Once it is massaged onto the sphincter, the spray keeps it moist for a little while, but by itself it has a tendency to dry out kinda fast. I would recommend using lube, and lots of it. Apronal Anal Spray is not sticky at all and is easily washed off with soap and water.

Apronal Anal Spray has a pretty strong aroma, although it is a pleasant one. The smell reminds me of a citrus cleaning solution almost. If you like the smell of herbs or citrus then the smell probably won't bother you at all.

My partner and I followed the instructions for application and waited for nearly 10 minutes before attempting penetration. We also applied a lot of lube and he fingered my anus a little to relax the sphincter more. The first few minutes were extremely painful, and although it did get a little bit better after that I think it was just my body getting used to it more than the actual product working. Even after reapplication I couldn't tell a difference in the ease of penetration. I think that this product just doesn't work very well, at least not for me.

This product came in an extremely small spray bottle that was silver with a black lid. The spray bottle contains 15 ml (0.5 fl. oz.) of the product. This container would be great for traveling, although it is not very discreet (it says anal spray right on the front of the bottle). The spray bottle came in a small box which also contained instructions for use in about ten different languages.
