Durex Play O Female Orgasm Gel 15m
I’m writing this review from the confines of a prison cell, hoping my boyfriend doesn’t press charges. I’ll explain in a second.
The gel comes in a little cardboard box with a little booklet that explains all about orgasms (how I survived unaware that 32% women don’t orgasm regularly, I just don’t know, thank you, Durex) and the gel itself.
This teeny, tiny bottle will probably make you foam at the mouth with rage, considering what you will probably have paid for it. But be of good cheer, my friends, for this teeny tiny bottle will last you for the next millennium. You literally need a TINY amount in order to trip the light fantastic. The guidelines recommend a ‘pea-sized amount’ but that was too much for me.
Ooh, by the way, the bottle comes with a detached dispenser cap and a screw-top lid. This helps keep things clean if you need to store it away, which if you’re like me and have dumped a load of stuff in your handbag on top of a bottle of lube and got it EVERYWHERE (because I’m a genius like that) is officially a Very Good Idea.
So onto actual performance. My OH lovingly applied some to my ladybits and within a couple of seconds I could feel the effects. It’s a decidedly odd but not unpleasant feeling. It sounds dreadful but the thing I’d liken it to it is when you grab something insanely hot and it feels cold and tingly for the millisecond before it starts hurting. Not that this stuff burns at all. I have very sensitive skin and have had run-ins with Burny Satan Spawn (Durex Tingle, in case you’re wondering) and this stuff is really gentle. It really is cool-yet-warm and feels very very nice.
And then the main question: does it enhance orgasms? Well… When my climax arrived it did so with such unexpected force that my stomach muscles contracted, sending my upper body flying upwards and causing me to violently head butt my boyfriend in the face and send him tumbling off the bed.
Luckily, he’s a hardy little creature and I didn’t leave any bruises, but please be aware that if your partner isn’t as understanding as mine you may need to enter pleas of temporary insanity at a later date.
This stuff is worth every penny. When our bottle runs out we’ll definitely be ordering more because it is THAT GOOD. Just try it. I promise you will not regret it.
PS. Just in case you lads were wondering, my OH didn’t really feel any effect when we put some on him. Sorry!
Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars
Pros: What’s not to like?!
Cons: My boyfriend might be suing me for GBH.
Bottom Line: A brilliantly effective little gel. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
