Lights Outs Glow Shower Gel Raspberry

Lights Outs Glow Shower Gel Raspberry

You can no longer purchase this product.

If you’ve ever thought “I want to glow in the dark” or “I bet it would be cool to shower with no lights on” or if you’re just a dork, like I am, then this product might interest you. You’ll probably have to ignore the fact that the entire design is reminiscent of mini-golf courses or Chuck E Cheese but, who wouldn’t with glow in the dark body wash?!

First things first. In the image, this appears white. It’s really not. The raspberry scent is a very pale, sickly looking pink. I could do with something a little prettier but I don’t know how realistic that is, given the glow in the dark properties.

Second, this bottle is pretty damned small. The Exotic Fruit Show Gel by Shunga is exponentially larger. This is a problem when you consider how poorly this product lathers. It’s super thin and washes away so easily that I always have to reapply to my bath poof. The bottle is almost half gone after only two weeks or so of use.

Thirdly, the raspberry scent is very unsophisticated. It’s not the subtle and finely crafted scent that I prefer. Rather, it’s run of the mill and too heavy because it’s not really good. Read: cheap.

But, it does glow in the dark. After sitting in the light (my bathroom has a window so this occurs all day), the bottle will turn a light green and cast off light. It’s pretty neat and makes finding your bath products easier if, you know, the power is out. Once you start to lather, however, this quickly disappears. You can’t make any glow in the dark hand prints on your mirror or chase people around like a ghost. This is kind of a failure, in my opinion. Who wants the glowy fun to end?

So, I will be retiring this bottle until such time as I a) run out of good body wash (Skinny Dip Shower Gel is a better product) or b) plan to shower with no lights on or c) just wanna show it to someone. Not using it is the only way you’ll get your money’s worth anyway.

Shower Gel Exotic Fruit

January 24th, 2011

This is an archived review of a discontinued product.

Perhaps it is appropriate that my previous review was for a very well-known manufacturer of sensual, erotic goods, as is the case for the manufacturer of the Shower Gel in Exotic Fruit. Shunga is a brand that I’ve heard rave things about but never had a chance to try. After all, what’s a single girl going to do with all those massage products? (Seriously, I have so much!) But anyone can enjoy shower gel–and enjoy I have.

This bottle is huge (16 ounces)! Easily beats out all my other shower products in size, save for shampoo. While the price point seems a bit high, it’s really not bad when you consider how much you’re getting in the bottle and how long it’s likely to last.

It comes in the typical, cylindrical bottle with push-top opening. Squeezing the bottle releases the shower gel, which is a red color (it matches my shower poof perfectly!). It’s quite silky on the skin and leaves mine feeling smooth and moist. I usually suffer from dry elbows in the winter air but this hasn’t been the case while using this shower gel.

I’m not sold that the scent is exactly “exotic.” It’s quite banana-berry to me but others may disagree. It’s pleasant enough but not really overpowering. I don’t really notice if it lingers on my skin but, then again, I don’t go around sniffing my skin. d=

I do wish the bottle were slightly more discreet, however. The image of the man and woman in some sort of pool of water, all naked and such, while not exactly rated X, is something I’d want to tuck away if I had visitors. I don’t but, you know..

Interesting enough, this product is billed as made from edible products but I have yet to taste it because the idea of suds on my tongue is a major turn off. I think others might enjoy this but I’d rather use it to soap up myself, my lover and squish around against one another.

[edit]
After writing this, I did take the time to taste it. It’s sweet and not awful but I feel super weird licking soap.

Sensual Cocoa & Goji Berry Cleansing Bath and Shower Gel

Cocoa & Goji Berry Shower Gel

Cocoa & Goji Berry Shower Gel

This is an archived review of a discontinued product.

Thus far, I have really been satisfied by all the Intimate Organics products I’ve tried. The clitoral gel was intense, the G-spot gel made me squirt, the water-based lube is decent if not smelly and the shower gel is pretty much amazing.

Sensual Cocoa & Goji Berry Cleansing Bath and Shower Gel comes in a 240ml bottle with a press-top cap. The label features a typical woman’s abdomen in blue hues, and the clear bottle shows the gel, which has a porgy (pink + orange) hue.

This cocoa and goji berry scent smells a lot like chocolate-covered cherries with a hint of mocha, to me. Thankfully, the coffee undertones are not strong as I am not a huge coffee fan. This shower gel creates a giant fluffy lather on my shower poof. It’s.. totally fun. It feels silky on my skin and leaves it smooth immediately after. The combination of scent and lather and silkiness make for a great shower experience. I’d say that calling this product “sensual” is right on the money.

And while my skin stays pretty soft during the day, the scent doesn’t stay with me, sadly. I like shower gels that do that, but Sensual Cocoa & Goji Berry Cleansing Bath and Shower Gel just doesn’t. Still, it’s enjoyable in the shower. It’d be great for partner play or a long bubble bath. In fact, you could combine it with Intimate Organics’ bubble bath of the same scent and top the whole thing off with the body souffle. I’m pretty sure you’d smell quite chocolate and fruity, then.

While not the perfect product, Sensual Cocoa & Goji Berry Cleansing Bath and Shower Gel makes my shower time enjoyable and I bet it will last forever.
