Sensuva ON Natural Arousal Orgasm Oil for Her Review
My Verdict
This arousal oil was not what I expected, but in the most positive way! It was gentle on my skin, but created a wonderful feeling of increased arousal that was hard to describe at first, but felt heavenly. Every touch was more intense, and though it didn't make things happen faster, it did make the whole experience, both build-up and climax, incredibly enjoyable.

About The Sensuva ON Natural Arousal Orgasm Oil for Her
Sensuva's ON Arousal Oil is designed to be massaged into the clitoris to increase blood flow and create a gentle, arousing sensation. It's made from a proprietary essential oil blend, with its main ingredients being sweet almond oil and cinnamon, and it has quite a strong cinnamon scent. Unlike many other arousal oils, gels and serums, it does not contain any menthol or L-Arginine, which typically create more tingly, cooling sensations on the skin. The brand recommends starting out with 1-2 drops, and then adding more after five minutes if you want a more intense feeling.
Pros
- ✅Gentle but effective
- ✅Doesn't dry out the skin
- ✅Aids natural arousal and feels fantastic
Cons
- ❌May not react well with latex condoms or silicone toys

Personal Experience
I’ve been afraid of arousal gels and tingling lubes for a while. As someone with sensitive and easily irritated skin, I just thought that they would do more harm than good. But, as always seems to happen, my curiosity got the better of me. What intrigued me was the fact that Sensuva ON is an oil rather than a water-based gel. Usually I’m water-based all the way, but these can also dry out quite quickly, while an oil can feel more moisturizing and gentle on the skin.
Turn Up the Dial to 11
The first time I tried out this arousal oil, it was with my partner. We’d already started out with some foreplay, and then I massaged two drops into my clitoris. There was already some lube there, which I was worried would dull the effect, but it didn’t seem to matter much. It took 30 seconds or so to feel anything, and then I was really surprised! Sensuva describe the effect of this oil as like a tingling or buzzing, which I didn’t get, but what I did experience was like someone had taken my arousal dial and turned it all the way up. Everything suddenly felt more intense and more satisfying, like I had just experienced 30 minutes of foreplay in 30 seconds. I tried to describe it to my partner afterward, but all I could say was ‘it was like everything was… more’.Trying It Alone
Of course, I couldn’t rule out the possibility that those feelings were more due to my own arousal than the oil itself. So, a few days later, I tried it solo. Since this was mostly a research mission, I started from arousal level zero and applied two drops, trying my best to put it on the clitoris itself as well as the clitoral hood. It took a bit longer this time, perhaps a minute, but then it started like magic. All of a sudden, it was like I had been watching some adult movies or sexting my partner. Again, there wasn’t much tingling, it was just that more blood had rushed to the area.Choose Your Toys Carefully
One thing to keep in mind is that this is an oil. That means that it could react quite badly with silicone sex toys. Even though it is a very small amount, I’m not sure I’d want to chance it with an expensive silicone toy. Luckily for me, my favorite vibe, the We-Vibe Tango X, is made from ABS plastic and my favorite dildo, the Chrystalino Superior, is glass, both of which are compatible with all kinds of lubes and other liquids. Another thing to be wary of is that it could damage your condoms, especially if they’re made of latex.Design
Black and pink is a tried-and-tested combo in the sex toy world, and I think it's... fine. I think I would have preferred a more grown-up, perhaps skincare-like design, but the color scheme doesn't change anything about how the oil itself works. However, the bottle is tiny! Even though you will likely only need a drop or two each time you use it, 0.17 fl oz. could still disappear fast if you plan on using it a lot. For me, this arousal oil will be a sometimes treat, so it should last me longer
Ease of Use
The Sensuva ON oil is very simple to use, as you just need to put a dab or two onto your finger and then massage it into your clitoris. You can choose to put it only on the clit itself, or to cover more of the surrounding area — both feel nice! My only issue is that the bottle is a little hard to squeeze, especially in the beginning. I didn't want to go too hard for fear of squeezing out way too much, but it's almost impossible to do that.
Quality
This doesn't feel like a super luxurious product, but it doesn't feel overly cheap or tacky either. It's pretty modest, and is made with ingredients that are good quality.
Price
At around $20, this is certainly not cheap, especially for the amount that you get. As I mentioned above, it should last you a while if you use it sparingly, but if you're looking for a more intense effect, that will require you to use more drops each session. However, if you take a look at other, similar products available, you'll see that most are around the same price for a similar amount of product. It's not super cheap, but I think it's worth it for the potential pleasure!
Performance
There are definitely mixed feelings about the Sensuva ON arousal oil online, which I do understand. Some people mentioned that they didn't feel any change, and I agree that it is quite subtle. I think that applying it before any other lubrication, be it lube or saliva, can help a bit on that front, but the effect is quite gentle regardless. Personally, I actually prefer it, as my skin is easily irritated and I wanted to stay away from super tingly or super warming gels.
Packaging
When you first look at the box, you might be fooled into thinking that you're receiving quite a large bottle! However, as soon as you open it, you'll see that they've cleverly placed the tiny bottle at the top, and the rest of the box is empty. It feels a bit silly and wasteful, but at least the packaging is made from all recyclable materials. On the back of the box is some information about how to use the oil and a list of ingredients, and on the side is an interesting disclaimer about how the FDA has not evaluated their claims.
Materials and care
Sensuva says that these ingredients are 'all natural', which is fine, but does slightly annoy me on a personal level — many other 'chemicals' with weird names that people are scared of are also natural, so go figure. It is the cinnamon that is doing most of the 'arousal' work. Since this product is oil-based, it's best if you avoid using it with latex condoms or silicone toys. Even though you're using a much smaller amount than you would if you were using an oil-based lube, oil can still damage these materials.
