Vigel is a topical water-based gel. To apply, Vigel is gently massaged onto the clitoris. Vigel's two active ingredients are L-Arginine and peppermint. The peppermint component has almost identical effects to menthol -- it creates a cool, tingling sensation.
Vigel has been clinically tested on both self-selected women with lack of sexual desire and post-menopausal women with Female Sexual Arousal Disorder. Both studies indicated that Vigel made a significant difference in sexual arousal and sexual desire. Our studies indicated similar results, but with some unpleasant (but no dangerous) unintended effects.
Vigel is recommended if other sexual enhancement formulas prove too mild for you, or if for some reason you want to experience the heightened sexual sensitivity for two hours.

A summary of Vigel compared to the #1-rated product:
Notes:
Our testers reported an increase in both the intensity and frequency of their orgasms when using Vigel.
Many of our testers reported feeling overwhelmed with the intensity of the sensations produced by Vigel. One tester described the sensation as "just too much," while another compared it to rubbing BenGay or Icy Hot (camphor and menthol-based liniments) onto their genitalia. Needless to say, this is more uncomfortable than stimulating.
Other testers reported that, after sex, they immediately washed Vigel off themselves to end the sensation.
Additionally, the effects of Vigel last up to 2 hours -- far too long, in the opinion of most of our testers.
The Vigel website reports that the gel is undetectable to a male sexual partner and has no effect on them (unusual, considering none of the other products reviewed made this claim of secrecy). We uniformly disapprove of this approach to sexual relations between men and women -- open, frank communication between partners helps improve sexual performance and libido far more than any cream or gel.
