Enhancement Guide & Best Sellers

Arousal gels and oils are made to add a sensation, usually warmth, tingle or a light buzzing, and are most often used on the clitoris and vulva. Enhancement and stimulating creams are marketed to boost sensation or performance, often for men. Delay sprays and creams do the opposite: they reduce sensitivity. Formulas vary, so check the label to see what you are getting and where it can be used.

Delay products are made to temporarily reduce sensitivity so sex can last longer. Many use a numbing ingredient such as lidocaine or benzocaine. Follow the directions on the label, and note that the numbing effect can transfer to a partner.

Tightening creams are marketed to create a temporary tightening sensation. Results vary from person to person, and the effect is generally described as short-lived. Check the label for directions and for where it can be used.

It depends on the person. Research on arousal gels and creams is limited, and some people notice a lot while others notice very little. Many people enjoy them as a fun way to add sensation. They are meant to add to arousal, not replace it.

Menthol and peppermint create a cool or tingly feeling on the skin. That sensation can make touch feel more intense, but it can also bother sensitive skin, so start with a small amount.

Some products use warming ingredients, such as methyl nicotinate or vanillyl butyl ether, to create a gentle feeling of heat. Others use plant extracts or essential oils for warmth or a buzzing feel. People react to these differently, so test a small amount first.

L-arginine is an amino acid that is often added to arousal products. It is marketed to support blood flow and heighten sensation, but the research is limited. If you take medications or have a health condition, talk to your healthcare provider before using products that contain it.

These are numbing ingredients, called local anesthetics. They reduce feeling in the skin they touch. You will find them in many delay sprays and creams and in anal numbing creams. Always follow the label directions, and stop using the product if you notice irritation.

Many products use plant oils and extracts, such as hemp seed oil or botanical blends, for glide, scent or sensation. Natural does not always mean gentle, since some people react to plant oils and essential oils. Check the ingredient list for anything you have reacted to before.

Water-based formulas rinse off easily and are generally easier to pair with condoms and toys. Oil-based formulas feel rich and can last longer, but oil is generally not recommended with latex condoms and can stain fabric. The label will tell you which one you have.

Yes. Try a small dab on your inner arm and wait a few minutes. If you notice burning, itching or swelling, rinse it off and do not use it.

It depends on the formula. Oil-based products are generally not recommended with latex condoms, and some ingredients can affect certain toy materials. Always check the label and the toy maker's guidance.

It can. Ingredients that tingle, warm or numb can transfer to a partner during sex. Some people wash the product off first or use a condom, and many labels give directions for this. Check the label.

Many gels, creams and sprays are for external use only. Only use a product internally if the label says it is meant for that.

For any health questions, such as irritation, infections, medications, or concerns about lasting or erections, please talk to your healthcare provider.

They use a numbing ingredient to reduce feeling around the anal opening. Some people like them for comfort. Because numbing can hide pain that tells you to slow down or stop, go slowly and listen to your body.

Numbing creams reduce feeling. Relaxing formulas are marketed to help the area feel more at ease without numbing it. If you would rather not numb, ask us about relaxing formulas.
