Retailing lotion (specifically) - experiences?

[Chigirl]

Hey folks,

For those of you who have retailed the lubricants you use in your sessions, what were your experiences like?

"Sell lotion" seems like the first thing anybody who's not a massage therapist jumps to when giving out free business advice. So what's the real deal? I know some people have been successful with it, and others have not. What factors do you think shaped your experience and made it what it was?

I ask because I'm working with a company to formulate a private label lotion for my practice, and I'm looking into how much it would cost to do small runs of retail bottling.

Personally, I just can't imagine any of my clients wanting it, but that's probably my own bias--I am in no way a "normal" consumer

Thoughts? Opinions? Experiences?
