As we enter the third week of the new year, it’s a good time to take stock in how you’re doing with your New Year resolutions.

Don’t forget to tell us about your male enhancement goals here —
What Are Your 2016 PE Goals?
— and be entered to win one of three awesome prizes!!

By the third week of January, the holidays are over, and real life should be back in full swing. This is the time of year when some of that early motivation starts to falter.  However, it’s a critical juncture in your goal journey, because it’s also approximately the halfway point to making your new routines really stick. It takes 40 consistent days to make new activities really a habit.

To help make your male enhancement routine a true habit, using male enhancement tools can really help ensure you succeed in 2016. Using male enhancement tools not only helps you workout more effectively and efficiently, resulting in faster results, which will help keep you motivated, but these devices also are a financial investment. Even small financial investments have been shown to be a motivator for people to use items. When something is free, we have a tendency to place less value on it. However, if we’ve spent money on something, we want to make sure we use it to get our money’s worth.

Penis Extenders

If your male enhancement goals include increased length, increased girth, and/or straightening a curve, penis extenders are the perfect tool for you! Here are our top penis extender choices:

• Phallosan Forte
• SizeGenetics
• Male Edge Extender
• X-4 Labs

Penis Pumps

Are you looking for a thicker and longer penis? Are harder erections part of your 2016 goals? A penis pump is what you need. Here are PEGym’s two recommended penis pumps:

• Bathmate Bathpump
• Penomet

Penis Hangers

If you’re an advanced PE’er and looking to take your penis exercise routine to the next level, you need to try penis hanging. Since this is an advanced penis exercise, a quality hanger is really important for safety. Here is our recommended penis hanger:

• LG Hanger

We talk about the benefits of getting a Bathmate penis pump quite a bit here at PEGym. We do that for one primary reason —

It works!

If you’ve never used a water-assisted penis pump, it can seem a little intimidating. However, one of the great things about the Bathmate is it is SUPER easy to use!

Keep reading to learn how to use the Bathmate penis pump.

Step 1: Warm Up

Warming up is one of the most important components of any penis exercise routine. (Read more here: Warming Up the Penis Before Exercising).  When using the Bathmate, warming up is as easy as getting into the shower or bath!

Step 2: Fill the Bathmate with Water

Press in the pressure valve on the Bathmate. Keeping your finger over the valve, fill your Bathmate with warm water from your shower or bathtub.

Step 3: Place Your Penis in the Bathmate

Place your penis inside the Bathmate, in the warm water. You don’t have to be erect. The most important thing is to make sure the comfort pad forms a seal between your pubic area and the Bathmate.

Step 4: Pump the Bathmate

Push the Bathmate toward your pubic area. Water will be expelled through the valve and a vacuum created. This vacuum will draw your penis into the Bathmate, as well as draw blood into your penis, causing an erection.

Step 5: Leave on for 15 Minutes

If needed, you can pump the Bathmate again, to create more vacuum. Then leave the Bathmate on for 15 minutes, or for the time length dictated in your penis exercise routine. Holding the Bathmate with one hand, go ahead and complete your normal bathing routine, while the Bathmate does all of the work for you!

Step 6: Remove the Bathmate

Compress the main valve at the end of the Bathmate to release the vacuum inside the pump. You can then safely remove the Bathmate from your penis.

Optional: Use a Shower Strap

Using the optional shower strap (The shower strap comes standard in all Xtreme models!) allows you to have a hands-free pumping session. Simply pump the Bathmate and allow the shower strap to hold your pump in place, while you go about your normal bathing routine.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Since we’ve been talking about New Year’s resolutions and the best ways to accomplish your goals in 2016, I thought it would be great to wind up this third week of January with some New Year’s resolution humor.

6 Tips to Help You Reach Your Goals

Get the Tools You Need to Succeed in 2016

Remember, your resolutions should be about YOU and what is going to make YOU happier. Your goals should never be about what someone else wants. So, remember…

The Bathmate Bathpump is one of the most popular male enhancement products on PEGym.  It’s not only a penis pump that is effective in getting men longer and thicker penises, but also can help with erectile dysfunction and improving stamina. However, the number of models Bathmate offers can sometimes be confusing.

“Which Bathmate model should I choose?”

Is one of the common questions we receive. Keep reading, and find out exactly what are the differences between the three different Bathmate model types.

The Original Bathmate

The original Bathmate models – the Hercules and Goliath – set the industry standard for hydro-penis pumps.

• The Hercules and Goliath models use the power of water to create a vacuum to get men the results they want, safely and effectively.

• They have helped hundreds of thousands of men.

• Both of these original models have been proven to be 250% more effective than air pumps.

• The Hercules Bathmate and Goliath Bathmate differ only by size.

• These original Bathmate models are still a cost-effective, high-quality penis pump.

The Hydromax Bathmate

The Hydromax Bathmate models were the next evolution of the original Bathmate model. This premium hydro penis pump model line up takes pumping to the next level. The Hydromax model series is the best selling model series.

• The Hydromax model series comes in three sizes – the X20, the X30 and the X40 – to accommodate men of every size.

• The Hydromax models offer 35% more suction than the original Bathmate series.

• The Hydromax Swivel Bellows feature allows full 360 degree positive rotation to give you entire visual chamber viewing plus inclined angle change option for optimum efficiency.

• The Super Flow Latch Valve system allows for one hand filling in the shower, making using and positioning the hydro pump much easier.

• A new metric and imperial guidance scale gives you improved visual viewing area, plus upper and lower texturing on the vacuum tube for better grip and control.

• The internal bellows size has been increased and the number of convolutions reduced to allow you reaching even more impressive girth expansion.

The Hydromax Xtreme Bathmate

The Hydromax Xtreme model series was developed as the premium Bathmate models. This model series has all of the bells and whistles you could ever want.

• Like the Hydromax, the Xtreme series comes in three different sizes – X20 Xtreme, X30 Xtreme, and X40 Xtreme - so you have a model that is perfectly sized for you.

• The Hydromax Xtreme also has all of the other features of the Hydromax series, including: 35% more suction than the original Bathmate, Swivel Bellows, Super Flow Latch Valve system, metric and imperial scale, and increased bellows size.

• The Xtreme series also comes with a hand ball pump and hose attachment, to allow you to pump either in or out of the shower or bath.

• The Xtreme models come with comfort pads, which makes this model series the most comfortable Bathmate ever.

• Xtremes also come standard with: a measuring gauge, cleaning sponge and carrying case.

Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about ejaculating during training, stop and starts and more, in this Ask the Experts article.

If you have questions you’d like answered in an Ask the Experts article, please PM Kimberly at forum name – KMWylie – and she’ll have the experts here on PEGym get your questions answered.

Q. Do I really need to ejaculate during training?…

…If so, then how often should I ejaculate if I don’t want to overdo it and have it affect my gains?

Big Al:  If you wish to become proficient in handling yourself in a sexual scenario, the process of ejaculation itself should be mastered.  The average number of recommended ejaculations for training is 3-4 times a week.  This is a BASELINE recommendation.  You’re not going to put a limit on your ejaculations for sexual activity, but please allow for the difference in sexual activity and stamina training.  If you’re extremely sexually active then you might require extra rest between your training days- as sexual activity can also be considered a form of training.

EQ can be affected by too many (or even too few, over time) ejaculations, and also in the level of libido- which is important for maintaining the proper degree of erections for exercises requiring it.  EQ impacts gains by affecting the quality of erections in training, auxiliary tissue expansion (e.g.- stamina training performed after enlargement work) and recovery.  Because it’s so important, I use the EQ stat as a benchmark for many different things- the level of trainees’ conditioning, cumulative fatigue in a training cycle, and (if measured under specific scenarios) a window into potential “situational” ED.

The initial recommendation of ejaculating 3-4 times a week is a good “average” baseline.  Most younger men who I speak with usually ejaculate much more frequently than that, but this often results in lower libido and EQ levels.  The situation is often complicated if porn abuse is involved. These men are usually insttructed to train “down” in regards to the frequency of their ejaculations.

On the opposite end, men who rarely ejaculate may find themselves having a lack of conditioning and control.  It’s also been shown that men who refrain from ejaculating for very long periods of time settle into that pattern as a new “default”.  Studies show T levels are affected by that, too.  Men in that scenario would need to train “up” to the recommended nechmark if they expect to develop high EQ and ejaculatory control.

Q. About the start and stop,…

… if I do it with an erection about 16cm-16.7 cm (always assuming my max length is 17.2 cm) i can last for more than 20 min. If sometime during this I hit a 17+ cm or close to my full erection I can’t last even for a couple of seconds and I have to relax.

Big Al:  That would make sense- since [usually] the more you’re aroused the more erect your penis is.  Remember, the goal of this particular exercise is to prime you for sexual activity- so the goal would be harder erections AND more stamina- which are the qualities that the EQ stat is comprised of.

Q. I’m not experiencing any negative side effects after my routine, but I do turtle…

...when I’m in the gym working out or exercising. Will this change over time? I’ve always hated that.

Big Al: Turtling during intense workouts (especially if they’re aerobic in nature) is common.  If you have a sizable fat pad, reducing it will help to alleviate the feeling of turtling.  Apart from fat pad reduction, light stretches and applied heat will help you counter it.

In a bizarre Jurassic Park-like twist, a 99-million year old erection was saved in amber.

From a spider.

OK… NOT a spider – a distant relative of Daddy Long Legs, an Halitherses grimaldii, which I learned is NOT a spider, but rather an Opiliones. And, apparently although spiders don’t have penises Opiliones do! Who knew?!

Anyway, this poor, spider-like creature was likely having a good ol’ time with his lady spider-like friend, when… whoops! Coitus-interruptus!

The poor guy either fell into some resin, or a nice big blob of resin fell on top of him. But, what a way to go!

Plus, with his penis nearly half the size of his body length, well who wouldn’t want to preserve that for posterity!  I wonder if there was some ancient form of Opiliones penis exercises!

“This is the first recordof a male copulatory organ of this nature preserved in amber and is of special importance due to the age of the deposit,” said the researchers in their study published in The Science of Nature on January 28, 2016. “The penis has a slender, distally flattened truncus, a spatulate heart-shaped glans and a short distal stylus, twisted at the tip.”

Apparently, one of the ways to tell the different families of Opilones apart is by their penis shape!

Science is cool!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re like my man, you might be sweating what to get your girl. The toaster last year was a bust – even though she needed a new toaster. And, you don’t want to just revert to roses and chocolates, because that’s what everyone gives.

It can be stressful!

Hopefully, these tips will help you find that perfect Valentine’s Day gift.

• Tip #1 – Pay Attention Weeks (or Even Months) Beforehand – Most of us women know it’s hard to shop for us. For this reason, we often drop hints. You just have to pay attention. And, when you hear something – write it down! You probably have a cell phone with you, so send yourself a text. Use a notes feature. Something so you don’t forget it later.

• Tip #2 – Don’t Buy Her Something Practical – Or, if you do, because she’s specifically said, “Please, get me a toaster for Valentine’s Day!” make sure to get her something more romantic in addition to the practical gift. Surprise her with that toaster on a different day – a non-holiday. Make it a “You’re Awesome Day” present.

• Tip #3 – Really Think About Your Girl - The best presents aren’t those that cost the most money; they’re the ones that someone has really put some thought into. Does she have a hobby she really enjoys? Is she a super-fan of something? Does she have a particular fondness for a particular treat that she can’t normally get where you live?

• Tip #4 – Give Her the Gift of Your Time – Set up a class for the two of you to go to together. Whether it’s one of the trendy wine and paint classes, or glassblowing, or salsa dance lessons – again, think about something she might enjoy going to. Sites like Groupon and LivingSocial usually have some great options for unique classes.

• Tip #5 – If Your Gal is Up For It, Go Sexy! – Get a room for the night, perhaps buy her some lingerie to wear, have her favorite snacks (champagne, strawberries, chocolates, perhaps?) at the ready, and maybe something fun for the two of you to try like Vigorelle - an all natural, female lubricant that is known as “the female viagra”. Spend the evening focusing on her… and, I don’t know a woman that wouldn’t like that!

• Tip #6 – Make Valentine’s Day a Whole Day Event – Whatever you end up planning for Valentine’s Day, if you want to truly knock it out of the park, do little things throughout the day to show her how much she means to you. If she normally starts her morning off with a cup of coffee, get up early and bring it to her in bed. Leave a card for her on her car at work. Send her romantic texts throughout the day, to let her know how you feel. And, this may sound obvious, but post on whatever social media sites she uses how much you love her. Women not only enjoy hearing how much you care, but there’s something special when you proclaim it publicly.

It’s February, and if you’re like most people, those New Year’s Resolutions may be slipping a little… or completely thrown to the wayside. The great news is you can get back on track! It’s not too late to make your 2016 goals come true!

Here are some great tips to help you get back on track, and make this year the year where you succeed!

1. Make a Plan – One of the most common reasons people fail to reach goals is they fail to plan. You wouldn’t want to drive across country, without having some sort of idea of what roads you were going to use for your route, right? If you didn’t have some sort of GPS or map, who knows when or if you’d ever arrive at your destination! It’s the same thing for goal setting. You need a plan.  Check out New to Penis Enlargement? Start Here! it has our most popular beginner program, that has helped thousands of men reach their goals.
2. Get Some Accountability – Let’s face it, if you are the only one who knows you’re working toward a goal, it’s easier for you to slack off, then if you’ve got people who are expecting you to succeed. Come on over to the Forums and tell us about your goals! Get involved in the Community, and you’ll find lots of encouragement from our great members! It can really help keep you motivated!
3. Take a Moment and Remember Why You Set Your Goals in the First Place – Sometimes all we need to get back on track is to remember why we wanted to reach a goal in the first place. Whether it’s penis enlargement, greater stamina, better erection quality, or some other male enhancement goal, there was a reason why you chose that goal. Think about how good you’ll feel when you reach your goal. Think about not only the benefits that come with whatever your goal is, but also how proud of yourself you’ll be that you actually made it!
4. Invest in a Device to Help You Reach Your Goal – Buying a device to help you reach your goals, helps in a couple of ways. First, using a penis extender like the Phallosan Forte or a penis pump like the Bathmate can actually help you make progress toward your goal faster, which is a great way to keep motivated. Plus, having some financial “skin in the game” can ensure you actually use the device you purchased, which will help you move toward your goal.
5. Get Expert Help – There is absolutely no shame in getting help from others. In fact, that’s what smart people do! Why not turn to guys who’ve been where you are now, and know what it takes to reach your goals? This is why our forums are so valuable! With over 100,000 members, there’s always someone who can help you. Better yet! Why not get help from someone who has helped thousands of others reach their goals? Get private, one-on-one coaching from the experts at meCoach Male Enhancement Coaching!
6. Don’t EVER Give Up – Remember, the only time you’ll ever fail is when you stop trying! Sometimes, reaching our goal isn’t as straight-forward as we thought it would be. Sometimes you take a wrong turn.. Sometimes you have to take a detour along our journey. However, if you keep moving forward, eventually you will succeed!

In a great example for what NOT to do — a Lithuanian man had to have four steel cock rings cut off his penis, by local firefighters.

Yes, you read that correctly.  FOUR!

Why a guy would need FOUR cock rings, I have no idea, but… I digress…

The unnamed, 36-year old man arrived at the Emergency section of the Denia Hospital in Costa Blanca. Apparently, a sex game had gone terribly wrong and he got four steel cock rings stuck on his penis.

Now, normally, doctors are pretty adept at helping men out of tricky situations like this. However, the cock rings this man used were so thick, they had to call in the local fire department.

Using an electric circular saw, and cooling fluid, so as not to burn the poor guy’s penis, The rings were so thick, two cuts had to be made in each ring, so they could be pried apart.

“It’s not the first time that the hospital has called us to cut off rings, but usually they are from the finger,” said station chief Javier Fayos. “And the rings aren’t usually made of steel – which meant we had to make two cuts on each of the four rings, one above and one below.”

It took the fearless firefighters nearly an hour to free the man’s penis.

DLD Blasters – funny name, but great exercise! But, what exactly are DLD Blasters and how do you do them?

Keep reading and learn more!

What Are DLD Blasters?

DLD Blasters are a combination of stamina exercises and stretching exercises. They can be performed by beginners, or for those who are more advanced, can be performed while hanging, to take your hanging routine to the next level.

How Do You Do DLD Blasters?

1. Lie down and pull your penis toward your stomach, creating a fair amount of tension.
2. While holding the stretch, do 100 Kegels. If you’re unsure what Kegels are or how to do them, please read this before you begin —  How to Do Kegel Exercises for Men: A Definitive Guide to Male Kegeling

3. Release your penis and then perform a 20-second Kegel.
4. Move to a seated position and perform an A-stretch. If you’re unsure how to do an A-stretch, please watch this video — A-Stretch Penis Exercise.

5. While in the A-stretch position do a 5-second Kegel for 50 repetitions.
6. Still maintaining the the A-stretch, perform a Reverse Kegel. Unsure of what a Reverse Kegel is? Read this —  Kegels: Only One Piece of the Equation to Strengthen the Pelvic Floor

7. Release your penis and complete the routine with a 1-minute Kegel and then a 1-minute Reverse Kegel.

NOTE: The Reverse Kegels in this routine are important, to help you avoid overtraining your pelvic floor muscles.

Drinking a cup of coffee can help keep you up… in more ways than one!

A study conducted by David Lopez, Dr.PH, M.P.H., Run Wang, M.D. and Steven Canfield, M.D of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), found that men who drink the equivalent caffeine level of two to three cups of coffee a day are less likely to have erectile dysfunction. In the United States alone, 18.4 percent of men 20 years and older have erectile dysfunction. This means more than 18 million men are affected by ED.

Here are the details of the study published in PLOS ONE:

• 3,724 men over the age of 20 were studied, from 2001 to 2004.
• Men who consumed between 85 and 170 mg of caffeine per day were 42 percent less likely to report issues with erectile dysfunction.
• Men who consumed between 171 and 303 mg of caffeine per day were 39 percent less likely to report issues with erectile dysfunction.
• These statistics were compared to men who consumed 0 to 7 mg of caffeine per day.
• These benefits were found for men who were not only a healthy weight, but also overweight or obese. Even hypertensive men showed this trend.

Regretfully, men with diabetes did not show these same results.

“Even though we saw a reduction in the prevalence of ED with men who were obese, overweight and hypertensive, that was not true of men with diabetes. Diabetes is one of the strongest risk factors for ED, so this was not surprising,” said David S. Lopez, Dr.P.H., M.P.H.

So, why is caffeine related to lessened incidence of ED? Caffeine is a vasodilator. What that means is – caffeine triggers a series of pharmacological effects that lead to the relaxation of the penile helicine arteries and the cavernous smooth muscle that lines cavernosal spaces, thus increasing penile blood flow. And, as we all know, improved blood flow to the penis equals stronger erections!

Interesting notes:

• There is 95 – 200mg of caffeine in an 8-oz cup of coffee, on average.
• Black tea has 14 – 70mg of caffeine in an 8-oz cup, on average.
• There is 24 – 45mg of caffeine in 8 ounces of green tea.
• A 12-ounce can of cola only has 27mg of caffeine.
• There is 12mg of caffeine in each ounce of dark chocolate.

Increasing stamina is one of the more common goals, here at PEGym. Even guys who come here primarily for penis enlargement, many would also like to be able to increase their stamina as well. Wanting to improve your stamina doesn’t mean you necessarily have an issue with premature ejaculation. In fact, many men with average stamina express a desire to increase their lasting time, for not only themselves, but also their partners as well.

1. Lubricant + Condom = Increased Stamina – A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that men who used lubricant with a condom lasted longer than men who just used a condom. Just be sure to use a water- or silicone-based lube when wearing a condom. Oil-based lubricants can degrade condoms and cause them to fail.
2. Focus on Your Breathing – Becoming over-excited and over-stimulated is the primary cause of orgasming too soon. Take a moment and really take some nice, deep, cleansing breaths, when you feel things getting a little out-of-control. This will help you regain control and release tension.
3. Stop and Starts or Edging – Stop and Starts or Edging are a great way to practice bringing yourself to that point of no return, and then backing off the brink. Stamina has a big mental component, and this solo exercise can help give you the confidence you need to succeed when you’re with a partner.

4. Redefine What Stamina Means – The Journal of Sexual Medicine found the optimal length of intercourse was between 3 and 13 minutes, with the average being 7.3 minute. Now, mind you, this time frame doesn’t include foreplay, guys. So, you can definitely extend the “sexual encounter” by maximizing foreplay, by focusing on your partner. However, the point is actually having intercourse for hours on end may not really be what your partner needs or even wants.
5. Talk to a Counselor – Stamina isn’t just dependent on physical components, but can also be affected by mental factors too. Stress, anxiety and more can all cause you to orgasm more quickly then you’d like and even snowball into self-fulfilling prophecies. Talking with a mental health professional can help you address these psychological factors.

AJ “Big Al” Alfaro is the lead trainer at MaleEnhancementCoach.com.  He has helped thousands of men reach their unique male enhancement goals, with personalized, one-on-one training and expert guidance.

There are actually many benefits to taking your time with your male enhancement training.  Before we proceed, this article isn’t necessarily meant to discourage those from seeking the quickest gains possible.  If you’re a quick learner, are conditioned, and happen to start with the right type of training, you might be lucky enough to become one of those “Big Gainers” referred to throughout the forums.

As a coach, I’ll be the first to admit that huge gains quickly are possible – but they’re not common.  While there are a lucky few men who make excellent gains in a short period of time, statistically these should be considered exceptions. However, I’ve noted over the years there are several common reasons for why male enhancement training fails.

• The most common reason for training failure is apathy.  Male enhancement training does take discipline and some level of open-mindedness to perform. As with working toward any goal, you have to really want to succeed. That desire is half of the battle.

•  Overtraining is the second most common reason for failure – combined with a burnout effect which compounds the desire to be done with training altogether.  Trying to do too much, too soon can destroy a training plan.

• I also see a good percentage of men who take up a reasonable training plan, but it takes months to really see measurable gains.  It could be the necessary training isn’t being performed correctly and/or as frequently as needed.  There may be other factors involved in delaying progress- health issues, scheduling conflicts, stress, and other things that can get in the way of your training and even day-to-day life in general. These men really can benefit from coaching, to make sure they are exercising as effectively as possible.

• Then there are those who- whether through constant error, genetics, or other factors, train their butts off, but just don’t appear to make gains. Men who simply are training improperly, like the men above, most often can turn their training around with a little coaching. Thankfully, the men who don’t see gains due to genetics are truly very, very, very rare.

• Another common reason for failure is using the wrong routine. There are routines designed specifically to address the very different male enhancement goals.  It’s important to follow the appropriate routine for your needs. For example, the routine for a man whose primary goal is improving erectile dysfunction is very different from a man who is primarily interested in penis enlargement.

• Lastly, impatience and anxiety can derail your training. Ironically, those who are most impatient often don’t stick to a routine long enough to see gains, and those who suffer from anxiety induced ED are stuck in their training because of their low EQ.  It’s a “catch-22″ scenario.

All of these factors can be helped with personalized training, like we provide at meCoach. You get the expert guidance to know you’re training as effectively and as efficiently as possible, while also training safely. We target your training to your unique optimal cycle lengths, to make each training session more effective.  Plus, you have the added motivation of knowing someone is in your corner, ready to answer questions and encourage you, helping you stick to your routine.

Happy Training!

So, you’re the baddest drug lord in Mexico, and Forbes even ranks you in the top most powerful people in the world – three years running!  What more could you possibly want?

How about the consistent ability to have a super-hard erection?

The recently recaptured Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman apparently has been suffering from erectile dysfunction.

Prior to his recapture, El Chapo had testicular implants, to help improve the blood flow to his penis, to help with his struggles with erectile dysfunction. The procedure happened sometime between September and October 2015, during the time he had escaped from prison, in a Tijuana medical clinic.  When Guzman was re-captured, authorities found syringes, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and injectable testosterone in his condominium, and surgical scars were found.

Do you have a challenge with erectile dysfunction? Don’t go to the extremes of surgery in Tijuana! Be sure to read this — Need an Erectile Dysfunction Cure? Never Suffer from Impotence Again  – instead!

One of the best things about the products on PEGym is that someone in-house has tested them. We turn away so many manufacturers, hoping to partner with us, because we want to make sure a product does what it says it does. Over the last years, this means that I, personally (being female), haven’t been able to test products. The guys get all the fun!

Well, I was happy that our new section — Just for Her — has products I could actually give a try!

When building this new product section, one of the first products I tried was Vigorelle.

Vigorelle bills itself as an “all-natural lubricant and sex enhancer.” Now, typically, I don’t have any complaints in the bedroom.  However, who doesn’t want to change things up a little bit, every now and again? And, a little extra lubricant is never a bad thing, so I was excited to give Vigorelle a try!

Without going into too many sordid details, the first thing I noticed about Vigorelle is it felt cold. I honestly thought it was literally cold – temperature-wise. However, even after a a minute, it still felt really cold. Now, that might not sound like the best thing…  but it was! When they say it makes a woman more sensitive… it definitely does!

The best part? It didn’t affect “Mr. Kimberly”. He has some pretty sensitive skin. We’ve tried other sensation-type lubes, only to have them really bother him – sometimes to the point that it completely ruins the mood. Vigorelle, however, was a non-issue! That made me extra-happy!!

The lube itself was a nice quality and relatively long-lasting. Plus, it was very easy to clean up. Another important factor.

All-in-all, I give Vigorelle two thumbs up!

Don’t just take my word for it — definitely give it a try! And, don’t forget, with a 60-day, no questions ask guarantee, you and your girl can try Vigorelle risk free!!
