Stud 100 intimate spray

A delay spray for men containing 9.6% lidocaine. It is made by Pound International in the United Kingdom and comes as a liquid with no color and no scent. It does not turn sticky once applied, so it leaves no marks on your hands or your clothes.

What the figure 9.6% means

Delay sprays differ in strength according to their lidocaine concentration. This one is 9.6%, lower than products at 13%. It dampens sensation less, which also means it is less likely to leave you excessively numb, so it suits first time users and anyone who found a stronger product too much. You can adjust the strength by how much you spray, so start small.

What the ingredient list contains

Alongside 9.6% lidocaine there are isopropyl myristate, stearic acid, dimethicone, soy lecithin, ceteareth-20, farnesol, glycerin, ethanol and purified water. It contains lecithin extracted from soybeans, so avoid it if you have a soy allergy. Because of the ethanol, the sprayed area feels briefly cool.

Keep it away from silicone toys

Dimethicone, one of the ingredients, is silicone based. Silicone ingredients soften the surface of silicone toys and leave them tacky. If you also use a vibrator or a silicone sleeve, wipe the spray off before you bring them together so that none of it gets onto the toy.

What to know before you use it

It is not a lubricant. If you need slip, you have to use a separate water based lubricant. If you have intercourse without wiping it off, your partner's sensation is dulled as well, so clear away what is left beforehand. It is also not a treatment that removes the cause of premature ejaculation, so if the problem continues, seeing a doctor is the better route.
