I received a private message in the backend asking me whether the 2H2D Gold Supreme Edition is actually worth buying. I thought about it and didn't reply directly. Because it took me 8 months to find my own answer to this question.
The first time I used it was last winter. When I opened the package, the box was gilded gold, and the spray bottle felt smaller in my hand than I had imagined. That night I sprayed it half an hour in advance, then sat on the sofa and waited. I wasn't confident, because I had used other brands before—either I felt nothing, or the numbness was intense.
After about 20-plus minutes, a mild warmth slowly rose. It wasn't the stinging burn of irritation, but more like a warm current moving beneath the skin. The result that night was better than expected.
But what I really want to talk about isn't the first time. It's what I gradually figured out over the following 8 months.
How It Actually Works
The core of the Gold Supreme Edition is herbal extracts, such as clove, honeysuckle, and Cistanche. It doesn't rely on numbing nerves to delay, but instead uses plant ingredients to gently act on the stratum corneum of the epidermis, reducing local sensitivity.
That sentence sounds a bit convoluted. In plain terms: it makes you less "urgent," but it won't make you "feel nothing."
The first time I used it, I deliberately paid attention—throughout the whole process, the sensation was clear, without that feeling of a layer of cloth in between. This is very important for many people, because once numbness appears, the experience is ruined.
In terms of onset time, the official claim is a slight sensation in 20 seconds, peaking at 20 to 30 minutes. My personal experience is: about 5 minutes after spraying, a warm sensation begins, and around 25 minutes is the best state. If you wait more than 40 minutes, the effect actually declines.
So the advice to "use it 30 minutes in advance" makes sense.
After 8 Months, What Changed
For the first 3 months, I basically used it "as needed." One spray each time, occasionally adding one more if I felt it wasn't enough. But I later discovered that re-spraying is a trap—once I added a second spray, the warmth became too strong and instead distracted me.
Starting in the 4th month, I settled on 1 spray each time. Combined with aerobic exercise 3 times a week, I gradually noticed a change: even without using the product, my own control was somewhat better than before.
This may not be a direct effect of the product, but I think it's related to mindset. When you know you "have a fallback," you're actually less nervous.
In terms of duration, my records are roughly like this:
This data varies from person to person. I've seen feedback from people who reached 60 minutes, and others who felt 30 minutes was about it. It's related to skin type, absorption, and the day's condition.
Does It Affect Your Partner
This is one of the issues I care about most.
The first two times I used it, I specifically asked about the other person's experience. The answer was: no noticeable sensation. No odor, no irritation, and no discomfort.
The instructions for the Gold Supreme Edition mention "colorless and odorless, no numbness through oral contact." My own experience is that after spraying, it's basically fully absorbed within 30 minutes, with no residue on the skin surface. If there was oral contact in between, the other person never reported numbness or bitterness.
This is much better than a certain product I used before. That one still had a taste half an hour after spraying. The other person didn't say anything, but I felt awkward about it myself.
Three Pitfalls I Fell Into
First pitfall: not doing an allergy test.
The first time, I used it directly. Looking back now, that was a bit risky. The correct approach should be to spray it on the inner wrist or arm skin and wait 20 minutes to see if there's redness, swelling, or itching. Although the Gold Supreme Edition is marketed as gentle, everyone's constitution is different.
Second pitfall: using it immediately after spraying.
Once I was in a hurry and started less than 10 minutes after spraying. The result was—no real effect. The product needs time to absorb; 20 to 30 minutes in advance is the bottom line.
Third pitfall: spraying too much.
As I mentioned earlier, adding a second spray distracted me. The Gold Supreme Edition is a concentrated essence; 1 to 2 sprays is enough. Spraying more won't make it last longer, it will only make the sensation heavier.

Some Practical Advice
If you decide to try it, my advice is:
For the first use, spray once, 30 minutes in advance. Don't re-spray; first feel your own reaction.
Do an allergy test before use. Spray once on the inner wrist and wait 20 minutes.
Don't use it every day. My own frequency is 1 to 2 times a week, giving the skin time to rest.
Store it in a cool, dry place. Don't put the spray bottle in the bathroom; heavy moisture will affect the quality.
When buying, look for the anti-counterfeiting code. The Gold Supreme Edition packaging has an anti-counterfeiting sticker that can be scratched off for verification. This is very important, as there are quite a few imitations circulating on the market.
If you're still hesitating about which version to choose, you can start with the Gold Supreme Edition. It's the one with the most balanced sensation in my experience. If your budget is limited, the combo pack is also an option, as it includes lubricant. If you want something more portable, the Power Edition has a smaller spray bottle, suitable for business trips.
A Few Honest Words at the End
This product is not magic. It won't turn you into another person, and it won't solve all your problems.
But it really did help me. From the initial nervousness and uncertainty, to now being able to face things with more composure. Part of this change is thanks to the product, and part of it is because I adjusted my mindset and physical condition.
If you ask me whether it's worth buying, I'd say: if you're willing to spend time understanding your own body and are willing to use it patiently according to the instructions, it's worth a try. If you expect a earth-shattering change from one spray, you may be disappointed.
Any product is a tool. Whether a tool works well depends half on itself and half on how you use it.
I hope these records of mine can help you avoid a few detours.
