Smashing Pink has been featured on MOJO Radio, CFNY and Z103 in Toronto. Its founders, Dawn and Rebecca were also guests on Canada's national late night talk show THE OPEN MIKE SHOW. The segment Rebecca and Dawn were on was chosen for a commercial for the show. Smashing Pink's orignal orgasm cream was also featured on a segment of CBC's MarketPlace where it was reviewed by a number of panelists on the show. Two out of three women on the show chose it over another orgasm cream product. Shortly after, Tickle Her Pink became one of the best selling orgasm creams in Canada!By: Valerie Gibson

'Orgasmic creams' up-and-coming

By VALERIE GIBSON -- Toronto Sun

"I can't get no satisfaction!"
No, no, not me, but many women say this.
Apparently, female sexual dysfunction is increasing. Many women of all age groups are finding they're having difficulty having an orgasm. And they're upset about it. Although a lot of attention has been paid to male impotence or erectile dysfunction, there's been far less concern about similar problems in women. Everyone has surely heard about the revolutionary result of such medical scrutiny on men's erection problems. Yup, Viagra, the little blue pill that's synonymous with reactivating the sexual libido of mid-life men. Despite the fact attempts have been made to adapt Viagra to help women, without much success since the sexual responsiveness of women is very different from men, female sexual dysfunction has often been dismissed as irrelevant. This has probably been because of the wrong idea that orgasms aren't as essential to the sexual pleasure of women as they are to men; or it's thought women don't care if they have one, often faking them just to please their partners. But women are now far more outspoken about their needs and personal pleasure. They are not only the driving force behind the current surge of spending on sexual pleasure items, but are making sure the topic of their sexual function -- or dysfunction -- is getting scrutiny from doctors, and drug and herbal preparation manufacturers.

They've been helped by the 1998 Nobel Prize-winning discovery about the link between the amino acid L-arginine and the compound nitric oxide in the body that produces sexual arousal.
It's a discovery that's produced the latest hottest items on the market for female sexual pleasure -- "orgasmic creams." The creams, available without prescription since they're natural products, are applied topically to a woman's clitoral area and are designed to stimulate lubrication, increase sensation and arousal and open the path to orgasm.

The best known of the three pioneers in the market is Viacreme. The other up-and-coming creams (so to speak) are TICKLE HER PINK and Better Than Chocolate, the latter manufactured in Canada. They all contain the amino acid L-arginine and are designed to give increased sexual responsiveness and better orgasms.
Viacreme and TICKLE HER PINK also contain menthol for "stimulating lubrication."
But Dr. Stan Gore, a Canadian cosmetic surgeon and president of EroScience Pharma, the manufacturer of Better Than Chocolate, says he is concerned about the presence of menthol in some products. His cream concentrates on L-arginine and B and E vitamins.

It's also non-greasy, edible, tasteless and odourless and can be used by men.
The distributors of the creams say the response from women has been "amazing." Although it doesn't compare to the wild hysteria that greeted the arrival of Viagra, it indicates how eager women are to enhance their sexual pleasure and satisfaction. And so they should.

You go girls!

What do people have to say about Smashing Pink Products?

I am sure it will not be unusual for a man to compliment this product.But this stuff is AWESOME! My wife bought it. I thought to myself it was another 'gimmick'. My wife and I decided that same night to try this formula that you claim simply works! I won't get into the nitty gritty details about everything, but I have to say this: Our sex life was good before, sometimes we thought that it couldn't get any better. During our initiation, about 15 minutes in, we both began to laugh while in the middle of our pleasure. At that point, we both concluded that this was the BEST product that we have EVER came across that enhances your sex life. We both want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts! This is a product worth referring.

"I have MS (multiple sclerosis) and I have read that sexual dysfunction is one of the symptoms that can manifest. I have experienced this in that sometimes - no matter what my partner and I would do, I can't have an orgasm... Actually, I was very pleased with TICKLE HER PINK. I'll be stock piling it when this supply runs out! Don't ever go out of business! I've already told some of my friends about it. Amazing! If you get an order from China - that's a friend of mine! All the best with your business! Thanks.".

"I always thought I was the only one and it was almost a relief to know other women had the same problem! Now thanks to TICKLE HER PINK I have a really good time having sex".

"I have returned from Europe and I...as well as my girlfriend are grateful for your product. It made some magical nights...AND DAYS in France, Amsterdam, Brussels, and London! I ordered three bottles...gave one to my friend and I brought two with me. When we were in Amsterdam, I mentioned TICKLE HER PINK while having breakfast with some members of the tour group we were in. Later on that day, one of the ladies came and asked us if she could try it. I gave her my second bottle as a Christmas gift and she loved it! They were from Germany...so I guess it made it to Germany, too. Thanks!

"My wife and I used to always get into arguments because she was never in the mood, it really put a stress on our marriage. Now we have sex more often and often she initiates it!"

"I’ve been having sex since I was 17, and I never had an orgasm, not even close. Too be honest, I wasn’t sure what one really felt like. My best friend told me about TICKLE HER PINK and now I know what everyone’s talking about!"
ML Chicago

"I have always loved sex, but now its just so much better. TICKLE HER PINK is easy to use, and both my boyfriend and I enjoy using it. It also doesn’t look like some of the sleazy sexual aid products that I’ve seen before that I would be embarrassed to be seen buying!"
TM Toronto

"I have tried TICKLE HER PINK and love it. I keep it in my makeup bag so I’m ready to go anytime, anywhere "
