| Zestra® ($46.88, zestraforwomen.com) | This mixture of botanical
oils dilates blood vessels in the area where it's
applied, boosting circulation and intensifying sensations. | You bet. According to a study in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy,
85 percent of women reported increased arousal. |
| ProSensual ($49.95, prosensual.com) | This cream contains
phytoestrogens, which mimic estrogen, a hormone in the body that increases vaginal blood flow and lubrication. | Perhaps. According to a small
study by the West Virginia Health Science Center, subjects felt double the clitoral sensations. |
| VibraFem Gel ($21.95,
vibrafem.net)
|
This gel contains L-Arginine (a chemical that boosts circulation and sensitivity) and menthol, which gives a cooling sensation.
|
The jury's out. There's no proof L-Arginine works this way; enthol can irritate vaginal tissue, says researcher David Ferguson, M.D.
