@Emily
It's great to know the MR has staying power in the sense you so far have kept the growth/swelling! And the rapibust trial seems to be doing something too!
@aimingford
Vicks only has one of the counter irritants, menthol, which provides the cooling, as Emily has mentioned the menthol salicylate is the other counter irritant that provides the heating effect and those two combined is what creates the swelling. I tried biofreeze to start and I didn't really get much of an effect other then sensitive cool feeling boobs. Plus the Vicks seems to be greasy in comparison to MR.
I don't mean to answer for her but I also used something to start that didn't have the counter irritant in it.

YAY!! I definitely recommend this combination to anyone who like topical stuff!
But kmgator's answer was very accurate (lol thanks again girl) but I'd like to clarify a few points. Vicks has camphor, eucalyptus and menthol. The last last are great to promote circulation/swelling and while the camphor is also a blood circulator and does have a slight warming feature Vicks is a greasy/waxy substance and so your skin won't be able to readily absorb it. Now this is from my knowledge of the greasy Vicks my parents always bought. If they have a more creamier version you might be able to use that to test if your able to get the cool/warm sensation. If not, you can always pick up a tube of Muscle Rub for a dollar. Anything that has Menthol and Methyl Salicylate should be fine.
