Jolt: Quick Start Guide

Jolt: Quick Start Guide

Jolt is back with a new and improved formula! The new Jolt still has a cool, minty tingle but it now also warms. The new formulation of Jolt feels silkier, lasts longer, and you get 150% more Jolt in a larger, 2.55 fl oz bottle.

Jolt is hot and cold now

  • ❄️ Cooling: The same mint oil that was in the original remains in this formulation as well. Plus, we added peppermint oil. If the minty tingle is why you bought Jolt in the first place, it's still here.
  • 🔥 Warming: We added cinnamon leaf oil and ginger root extract. These ingredients bring a slow, spreading warmth underneath the cooling sensation.

It's still powerful, but not overwhelming. The new Jolt formulation is just doing more than one thing at once, which, honestly, feels very relatable.

Jolt feels silkier

The old formula was a thin gel. The new Jolt formulation is a serum made with sweet almond oil and soybean oil, so it glides more, sticks less, and doesn't evaporate as easily (i.e., longer-lasting). 

A little still goes a long way. Start with a pea-sized amount, wait a minute for it to kick in, and add more if you want it stronger.

What changed in the formulation? 

The below are the ingredients we added into the formula: 

  • Peppermint oil, cinnamon leaf oil and ginger root extract for the hot-and-cold sensation.
  • Sweet almond oil and soybean oil for the silkier feel.
  • Vitamin E and rosemary leaf extract, antioxidants that keep the oils fresh.
  • Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate as preservatives. Both are widely used in food.

And here is what we took out of the formula:

  • Phenoxyethanol. New Jolt is phenoxyethanol-free.
  • L-arginine. The old formula carried a warning tied to L-arginine. New Jolt doesn’t contain it.
  • The organic botanical blend (aloe, witch hazel, goji berry and camel grass). They weren’t contributing much to the sensation, so we made room for ingredients that do.

One additional note: Both formulas get natural menthol from mint oil, and the new one contains glycerin, so Jolt is no longer described as menthol-free or glycerin-free.

More bang for your buck (literally)

The old Jolt bottle held 1 fl oz for $24. The new one holds 2.55 fl oz for $28.


That's 150% more Jolt for only $4 more. Most stimulating gels sell for around $30 an ounce, whereas Jolt is only $10.98 per fluid ounce. 

How to Use Jolt:

  1. Patch test first. Dab a little on your inner arm and wait a few minutes. No redness or burning? You’re good.
  2. Start small. A pea-sized amount is plenty. Warm it between your fingertips for a few seconds.
  3. Apply externally. Smooth it over the clitoris and vulva, or wherever you want the sensation.
  4. Give it a minute. The cool tingle hits first, and the warmth builds slowly underneath. Breathing on the area or adding light touch or a vibrator turns it up.
  5. Build if you want more. Add a little at a time. It’s easier to go up than to wish you hadn’t.
  6. Too much? Wipe it off with a damp cloth. It fades on its own as it wears off.
  7. Clean up with mild soap and warm water, for you and your toys.

Pairs well with: your favorite Unbound vibrator, solo time, or a partner who wants to try something new! 

Jolt specifications and callouts:

  • Allergens: new Jolt contains sweet almond oil (a tree nut) and soybean oil. If you're allergic to either, skip it.
  • Patch test first. It's a new sensation, and cinnamon and peppermint oils can be a lot on sensitive skin. Try a small amount on your inner arm before going anywhere more ambitious.
  • Condoms: Because new Jolt contains oils, don't use it with latex condoms. 
  • Toys: Jolt is compatible with Unbound vibrators, dildos and butt plugs. 
  • External use only. Avoid your eyes, and stop using it if it irritates you.
  • It's not a contraceptive and doesn't contain spermicide.
  • Cleanup: mild soap and warm water.
