Body dusts are a super sensual and, may I claim, vanilla way to spice up the sex life. I was actually surprised with a tin of Shunga’s dust with my last shipment from FunWares and it was from Shunga. I’d been wanting to try their dust to compare with the Kama Sutra stuff I bought a while back. As it turns out, dust is really simple and there’s not much to say about it, let alone to compare.

The tin includes a plastic bag of white dust that is double-sealed. This is great because dust tends to be.. dusty. When you open it, expect a poof of dust that you will be able to see float through the air. There’s a pretty satin bag for placing the plastic bag in, I guess, and a feather applicator. Shunga actually includes a little note that you can restore the state of a used and abused feather by holding it over steam. Who knew? Well, I guess they did.

The dust itself is super fine and silky feeling. It spreads into the skin in a translucent layer that you then lick off. The flavor I received was Raspberry. I’ll be honest, it doesn’t come off as raspberry exactly but it’s pleasant. It smells very much like bubblegum, and the taste has a touch of citrus with more bubblegum. I do wish the flavor was truer to the label, though.

The dust does have a bit of a chalky texture so you won’t want to gobble it down in spoonfuls. A few licks will probably suffice, unless you really like it. Then who am I to stop you from enjoying yourself?

I have to be honest, though. I don’t find the feather to be the best applicator. The body dust is fine enough that I almost can’t see it on there unless I really glob it on. The feather itself is quite large, almost too big to fit into the container without pinching it in the cap, and you don’t get an adequate application. I’m probably just nitpicking because it’s what I do. Feathers are fun and feel silky on the skin, of course. Perhaps that negates my pickiness.

There’s actually quite a large amount of body dust in the Shunga tin. Short of bathing in it, I don’t know how I’ll ever use it all. This is especially true because I know own two different body dust products. Ope.
