after showering, before bed, or before intimate moments. It is recommended you use it at least three times a week, but use it as suits your preferences and skincare habits.

Apply liberally to external genital skin at least three times a week. 

Unlike internal products that require specific positioning or timing, The Original Velvet's external formula provides complete convenience. Apply whenever you wish—morning routines, after showering, after exercise, before bed, or moments before intimacy.

External application also means:
- No insertion required
- Use standing, sitting, or lying down
- Perfect for travel and on-the-go care
- Simple, straightforward application.
