Vigorelle Gel: What It Is and How It’s Used

Vigorelle is a gel for women, made by Leading Edge Health and applied to the intimate area before or during sex. The manufacturer describes it as a “water-based, hypo-allergenic and all-natural” arousal gel and says it heightens desire and relieves dryness. Those are the maker’s claims: we found no clinical study of Vigorelle itself, and the maker’s product page cites none. Below is what the maker says is in it, how it is meant to be used, and the checks worth doing before you try it.

What the manufacturer says it contains

The manufacturer lists these ingredients, without amounts:

• L-arginine
• Ginkgo biloba
• wild yam
• damiana leaf
• suma root
• peppermint leaf
• motherwort
• shea butter
• apricot kernel oil
• olive squalane

Research on some of these ingredients taken by mouth, or on other products, does not show what this gel does when applied to the skin. So treat the maker’s descriptions of individual herbs as marketing, not evidence for Vigorelle.

How it is used

The manufacturer’s direction is simply to apply it to your intimate parts before or during sex. Use a small amount the first time, and follow any directions printed on your tube.

Checks before you use it

• Patch test first. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests testing a new skin product on a quarter-sized area, such as the inside of the elbow, twice a day for 7 to 10 days. If a reaction develops, wash it off and don’t use it again. When you use it intimately, stop straight away if it stings, burns or itches.
• Condoms. The manufacturer doesn’t say whether Vigorelle is safe with condoms. Its ingredient list includes shea butter and apricot kernel oil, and oil can damage latex condoms (Planned Parenthood). If you rely on latex condoms, don’t assume it is compatible.
• Pregnancy and medical conditions: ask a doctor or pharmacist before using it.

If the problem is dryness or low desire

Persistent dryness and low desire usually have a cause worth finding. The NHS says vaginal dryness is common around menopause, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and with certain medicines. It suggests water-based lubricants before sex, vaginal moisturisers, avoiding perfumed soaps and douches, and seeing a GP if dryness lasts for weeks or affects daily life. Doctors can offer hormone treatment where suitable. Low sex drive can be linked to relationship issues, stress, depression, hormones, some medicines and contraception. A GP can help work out which applies.

The takeaway

Vigorelle is a maker-described arousal gel without a published study of the product itself. Patch test first, don’t assume it is condom-safe, and see a doctor if dryness or low desire lasts.
