Ouch! Numbing Lubricant, 100 ml

Product Information

Mark, K. P., & Kerner, I. (2016). Event-level impact of Promescent on quality of sexual experience in men with subjective premature ejaculation. FYI, i f a lube advertises itself as “numbing,” then you want to stay far away. Lube that makes butt stuff less painful sounds too good to be true...because it is. “Never, ever using a lubricant that numbs the anal sphincter,” Organic Loven founder Taylor Sparks previously told Cosmo . “This is the one place that you want to know what is painful so that you can stop whatever action you are taking, and not wait for the numbing lubricant/cream to wear off and realize there has been damage.” Numbing lubes with analgesics or desensitizing agents in them (like benzocaine) won’t let you know you’re overdoing it until after the fact, when the lube wears off, which is not ideal. The gels and creams you are referring to are desensitizing lubricants. They contain a mild anesthetic (7.5 percent benzocaine) that causes a temporary numbing sensation after being applied to the skin. The purpose of this desensitization is to help men to keep their erections and to postpone or prevent premature ejaculation (a.k.a., to last longer). However, since the penis has less sensation, sexual pleasure for some men could be reduced. Plus, if a condom is not worn when using these products, the gel or cream can rub off onto the other partner's vulva, anus, or mouth, diminishing sensation and pleasure for that person as well. And no, if a latex condom is worn when using desensitizing lubes, it won't disintegrate since they're water-soluble (not oil-based).

Taylor Sparks is an erotic educator and founder of Organic Loven, one of the largest BIPOC-owned online intimacy shops. AFTER USING THE SPRAY: if you or your partner develop a rash or irritation stop using the spray. If you do feel unwell or have any unpleasant side effects after using the spray tell your doctor or pharmacist. Don't be afraid to reapply "as soon as it seems like it's drying out and there's more friction," Vrangalova adds. "Keep the lines of communication with the receptive partner open. Encourage them to let you know when they feel more is necessary." Silicone lubricants can have longer staying power and may not require less reapplication like water-based products. However, if you’re using silicone sex toys a silicone lube can damage the toy. Oil-based lubricants like baby oil, petroleum jelly or products containing mineral oil can damage latex condoms and lessen their effectiveness in the prevention of STDs or pregnancy. Yes, we still have to worry about STDs even if we are past the pregnancy years. Try Multiple LubesA 2017 review indicates that benzocaine and lidocaine help desensitize penile nerves to delay ejaculation. A person should use these wipes and allow the area to dry a few minutes before engaging in sexual activity. The benzocaine should minimize overstimulation without numbing the penis. One option that a person may consider is using a premature ejaculation spray. These typically work by applying a local anesthetic to the penis so that a person experiences the sensations of foreplay and intercourse less intensely. Remember that your vagina and vulva absorb products just like all other parts of your body—so think about what you’re applying when choosing vaginal moisturizers. Products with lots of glycerin, propylene glycol, or alcohol might not be a good idea for your delicate tissues or your overall vaginal health. Additives, used to extend shelf-life, can create vaginal irritation or even allergic reactions on sensitive skin. You might notice that lube is often unnecessarily gendered, but Goodparts is changing that with this pure, high-grade, four-ingredient silicone lubricant. Great for folks with sensitivities, this formula is pH-balanced and free from both glycerin and parabens, and since it's formulated from silicone, it'll never evaporate or dissolve in water—meaning it's never absorbed into your skin.

A lubricant, or lube, is one of those essentials that every sexual woman should have in her toolkit. Essential at any age, lubricants help provide more pleasure by enhancing sensation and eliminating uncomfortable friction. The best way to think of lube is as a sex toy, and the best lubricant is the one that enhances your sexual arousal. Another study published in 2020 reports that topical agents increase the time a person can have sexual intercourse before ejaculating. However, the study notes that there is still limited data on topical agents’ effectiveness. those with skin sensitivities might be irritated by propylene glycol, citric acid, and sodium benzoateWhy not buy a few, or ask your sex toy shop for a sample and see what you like? Also, think about whether you want a water-based or a silicone-based lubricant, or if you’d like to try a flavored variety. Some long lasting condoms may contain anesthetic ingredients, such as benzocaine or lidocaine, to further increase desensitization and delay ejaculation. EMLA Cream is oil based so it can weaken latex condoms, increasing the risk of them splitting. It is therefore even more important that suitable precautions are taken to avoid pregnancy or transmission of a sexually transmitted infection (STI). You might want to invest in polyurethane condoms, which will not be weakened by EMLA. How does EMLA work?

Sliquid makes over 13 kinds of lubricants and personal moisturizers. They are vegan-friendly and at least one of their products is Kosher, organic and in compliance with USDA National Organic Program. Just like when finding a good lube for your vagina, it's best to avoid products with perfumes or scents, as these oft times will serve as irritants. As Babeland brand manager and sex educator Lisa Finn points out, the lining of your rectum is very good at absorbing stuff, so you don't want any unnecessary alcohol, flavorings, and artificial dyes. And while petrochemicals (like propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, or petroleum) and preservatives (such as parabens, benzyl alcohol, or citric acid) aren't *totally* necessary to avoid, they can cause itching or irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid anything "numbing"

This oil-based lube is made with coconut oil and organic silicone, so it will last a ridiculously long time without reapplication. Because it's oil-based, it's not suitable for use with latex or polyisoprene condoms, but you can use it with your silicone-based toys, which is a major win. Also important: There's also a water-based spin-off formula if you dig the idea but want something usable with latex condoms. THE REVIEW:"So I bought this after doing plenty of research and was curious if this would be a good lube for anal intercourse…and [it] EXCEEDED the expectation of just being another basic silicone lube," writes one customer. "We tried it on both of us, and the texture is unlike any other brand...[and] we have tried many brands to date. It seemed to make everything go in and out easy with very little lube degradation or anal pain." Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have an underlying medical condition, are taking any other medication or complementary therapy, or if symptoms persist
