Is a clitoral arousal gel suitable if I am sensitive? It can be, if you choose a mild one and use very little. Intimate Earth makes its clitoral gel in two strengths for this reason. Gentle is the lower-strength version, with less natural Japanese peppermint oil than the Intense gel, and it is made for women who are more sensitive. It is also menthol-free. Start with a tiny amount on a fingertip, wait to see how it feels, and wash it off with water if it is not for you.
Gentle: the milder clitoral serum from Intimate Earth
Gentle is a clitoral arousal serum from Intimate Earth, supplied in a 1 oz (30 ml) airless pump. It is made for women who are more sensitive, so it uses a lower concentration of natural Japanese peppermint oil than the brand's Intense gel. The formula contains no menthol. It can be used for clitoral foreplay, during intercourse and for clitoral stimulation with a toy.
Best for: For women trying a clitoral gel for the first time, and for those who find stronger arousal products too much. It works in solo play, with a partner or with a clitoral vibrator. If Gentle turns out too subtle, Intense is the next step.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the Gentle version for?
Intimate Earth makes it for women who are more sensitive. It has a lower concentration of natural Japanese peppermint oil than the Intense serum, so the sensation is milder. It is also a sensible first clitoral gel.
Does it contain menthol?
No. The serum is listed as menthol-free. Its effect comes from natural Japanese peppermint oil, used here at a lower concentration than in the Intense version of the same product, for a milder feel.
When can I use it?
The maker lists three uses: clitoral foreplay, clitoral stimulation during intercourse and clitoral stimulation with a toy. Apply it a few minutes ahead in each case so the sensation has time to appear.
Gentle or Intense: which should I buy?
Choose Gentle if you are sensitive or new to arousal gels. Choose Intense if you want a stronger effect. The only stated difference is the amount of Japanese peppermint oil, and both come in a 1 oz airless pump.
