Sweet Snow Sensual Body Powder

The Honey of the Nymph Sweet Snow Sensual Body Powder is from the Shunga Erotic Art line. The word “shunga” commonly refers to Japanese erotic paintings from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The company brochure says the collection was inspired by the sexual imagination and fantasy of such paintings. The company claims to have “collected a range of products for the lovers of lovemaking, those who must fully experience their intimate moments in a spirit of sensuality, excitement and passion.”

I think this product is especially suited to people who like their intimate moments to be a bit… messy. This mixture of modified starch and corn starch (which may also contain honey bake, aspartame, natural and/or artificial flavor) is essentially a dust which comes with a small, wooden handled feather duster. Applying the powder with the plumes leads to a small cloud of sweet smelling dust that sometimes includes tiny feathers. Of course, the dust that doesn’t make it onto the skin is going to end up on the sheets, on top of the stereo and all over the floor.

The powder does not have an unpleasant flavor. It is not overly sweet and leaves no after taste, but I wouldn’t choose to consume more than a small amount. The feather applicator felt deliciously tickly on my skin, but it does seem to be made of genuine feathers, so vegans beware. (Vegans may also want to do some research into the “honey bake” listed as a potential ingredient.)

Although I’m typically quite the sensualist, I didn’t find this “lovemaking” enhancement all that exciting. If I were already in the mood for sex, I might find this product thrilling, but if I were trying to get into the mood for sex, I think this product would just make me giggle. Personally, if I wanted to spice up my sex life, instead of buying this powder, I would take the money and buy some good lube or a bottle of tequila.

Dust Me Pink Sensual Body Powder

By Pure Romance

The Pure Romance website looks like a page out of Seventeen magazine with pictures of giggly, freckle-faced women and hearts and cursive, all splashed in shades of pink. And while the company’s mission is serious—empowering women to express and explore their sexuality—the products have the same playful feel the homepage reveals.

Pure Romance products range from light lotions to bondage accessories to vibrators, available in seven collections at prices that span a few dollars through $150. Some have catchy labels (like the sassy Coochy line), others have a romantic touch (like the Sweet Seduction lubricant) and others may appeal to people with a straightforward sensibility (like the Nympho Niagra stimulation cream).

The Dust Me Pink Sensual Body Powder is scented, flavored and comes with a flirty little feather applicator. I gave the Barely Berry flavor a whirl. Although the bubblegum scent was far from subtle, there was very little flavor. I was disappointed the powder didn’t dissolve better on the tongue and that it tasted… well, so much like powder.

Skip the edible part of play with this product and stick to the feathery-fun part of the exploration. The powder feels great, and with a light touch, is a silky, soft introduction to your partner’s beautiful body or your own.

As a company, Pure Romance is not just about products, it’s also about education. Through their sexual health initiatives, they speak on college campuses, and they’ve developed safe products for women challenged by breast cancer.

I wasn’t excited enough by the Sensual Body Powder to try another flavor. But because I believe in Pure Romance’s focus on sexual health and empowerment and because I applaud their initiatives, I would definitely support the company by giving one of their many other products a try.
