For sexual enhancement, arousal gels can do the trick for many women as they are able to help women get in the mood and feel sensations of pleasure unlike ever before! Arousal gels help the clitoris to get nice and sensitive so every touch helps to stimulate pleasure.
Arousal gels are different to lubricant. They are used for stimulation, as opposed to lubrication. Watch the video below where sex educator Emma Hewitt will tell you everything you need to know about arousal products!
Arousal gels and oils are designed to be rubbed on the top, around the sides and underneath the hood of the clitoris. The gel then stimulates sensitivity and creates a gentle warming/cooling tingling sensation, increasing female pleasure during intimacy.
Depending on the arousal gel, some may recommend using it internally as well to increase sensitivity of the g-spot for stronger sensations. Most arousal gels have super smooth, silk-like textures, which feel incredibly sexy on. They glide on effortlessly and leave women feeling amazing! You will usually only need about a pea-size drop to get the job done.
Intrigued by the idea of trying an orgams gel but don't know where to start? We feel you. Here are some of our favourite arousal gels and oils to try for yourself.

Another great benefit of this balm is that it may actually help some women increase their production of personal lubricant. This may be helpful for women who are going through hormonal changes, taking medication which is affecting the body to self-lubricate, or women who commonly experience vaginal dryness. Other benefits of this arousal balm is that it is safe to use during oral sex and to wear during the day if you enjoy feeling turned on throughout the day.

Before you go ahead and use any arousal gel make sure you check the ingredients on the back to see if there is anything that you may be allergic to. As these do go on our erogenous zones you want to make sure it is 100% safe for your body.
If the gel begins to burn once it has been applied, quickly wash it off and we don't recommend trying it again. Also remember that you don't just have to use arousal gels with a partner, you can also use it with a vibrator or even just on your own.
