Guide to Tingling Lubricants

Tingling LubesAre you one of those people who loves the feeling of a tickle? Or the sensation of wind blowing through your hair, sending shivers from your scalp and down through your body? These unique feelings, that some folks absolutely adore, are a different type of sensual play that can be tricky to replicate in the bedroom.

So, do you seek these amazing sensations for your sexytimes? A special lube just might be a great way to set your sex soaring. Tingling lubes will give you an entirely new blast of sensory awesomeness when added to any kind of sexual situation.

What are tingling lubes?

Tingling lubes are specially formulated personal lubricants that feature specific ingredients that create a tickly, tingly sensation on the skin (more on that below). These unique lubes will make your skin light up with new sensations, the likes of which your body will have never experienced before. Tingling lubes are best used on penises, nipples and the skin around the genitals. They are sometimes irritating when used by women vaginally and anyone anally. They can feel great, but if irritation occurs, you should discontinue use.

Why should I use a tingling lube?

Trying different types of lube is all about experiencing different types of sensation. Different thicknesses, different materials... lube can provide many different feelings on and in your body. Tingling lubes are great as a foreplay experience that makes your skin feel fantastic. The tingling sensation can also elicit some fun laughter and giggles, putting you both in a great mood before the sexytimes really start.

Can I use tingling lube during foreplay?

One of the sexiest types of foreplay involves dropping little dots of tingling lube all over your partner. Use your fingers to rub the tingling lube into those specific spots on their skin: nipples, ribcage, pelvis, back of knees, feet, and, of course, genitals. Blindfold your partner and have them lie still while you move around their body, stopping at each of these spots. Bring your lips very close to their skin and then blow gently on the previously applied lube. Tingling lube reacts to air and each of those sensitive spots will dance with delicious sensation! And it might be a good idea to leave their most tingly bits for last.

What are tingling lubes made from?

Tingling lubes are available in both silicone and water-based formulations. Many people wonder what wild chemicals are used in tingling lubes to produce the sensation. Rest assured they aren’t wild chemicals at all! The ingredients in tingling lubes that give them their signature sensation is usually either menthol or ginseng.

How do I use tingling lube?

Tingling lube is one of those products that should be discussed among partners before anyone tries to use them. It could be quite a shock to suddenly have your skin feeling all tingly! It is also a good idea to spot test the lube, before sexytime fun starts. It could be rather unfortunate to have to stop hot sex because one or both of you had a reaction to the tingling lube.

Tingling LubesAn amazing experience you can have with tingling lube is through exploring anal pleasure. Now, this activity might not be for everybody. Your back end is extremely sensitive and will feel the tingling ingredients as much or possibly even more than your genitals do! That might make it a little too intense. However, gliding your lube coated finger on your partner’s ass while performing oral sex will give them such a thrill!

If everything works out and you’re good to get excited with tingling lube, here’s a neat trick that will drive your partner crazy. First, it really helps if you get your partner all worked up. Use the lube all over his penis or her vulva. Tease them, bringing them closer and closer to orgasm. But don’t let it happen, don't let that sensation take over. Instead, abruptly take your hand away, get your face nice and close and blow on their skin. The gust of air will activate the ginseng or menthol and make their skin tingle with delight.
