Hey all! My name is Claudia, I’m a 22-year-old female living in Brooklyn, NY. I’m very new to [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/), got introduced by a friend who tried your Instant shine and LOVED it, so I’m poking my head around to see what’s what. I do have a few questions. First, can anyone tell me if the affects of the pheromones start to wear off after use over a long period of time? Is it like other things where the body gets used to it after a while? Thanks for reading my post 🙂 ---

Welcome Claudia! Yes self-effects do diminish if you wear a product a lot. Your neurotransmitters will adapt and get used to the stimulation. Some heavy masculine products I’m wearing don’t have diminishing self-effects (A314) - don’t know about most female products. Maybe a female member can chime in. Keep in mind most people wear pheromones mostly to influence other people, self-effects are a nice bonus. What do you hope to get from mones? Attraction? Smooth social interactions? And where and around what people do you intend to wear them? ---

Ok, i see. I’m most interested in smoothing social situations and both self-effects and affecting others. I tend to be pretty shy and quiet in large groups of strangers and want to see if i can get rid of that habit/attract others to talk to me more. ---

I tend to be pretty shy and quiet in large groups of strangers and want to see if i can get rid of that habit/attract others to talk to me more. IShine creates a feelgood vibe around you, making you look more approachable and fun. People will initiate more. Also, it always gives me nice social confidence boost. After applying IShine I feel upbeat and ready to interact. If you want a a product that is specifically aimed at increasing the quantity of conversation/small talk, pick up a to-go of IO. It’s a perfect ice breaker - alpha androstenol in there makes people chatty. Yourself included. ---
