Why I Chose It

The Kiiroo Delay Spray is a clear test winner for me! What I appreciate most about it is how easy and mess-free it is, making it easy to incorporate into your routine without any hassle. Sure, it takes 15 min for it to take a full effect, but as our tester Liam said: “It took only a couple of seconds for the product to be fully absorbed by the skin, which made the 15-minute wait much more pleasant as we were free to enjoy other foreplay activities.” This means you can apply it and get straight to the fun without any awkward downtime.

If you are wondering about its effectiveness, I am happy to inform you that the Kiiroo Delay Spray actually works! It helps you stay on the edge longer, creating a thrilling sense of anticipation. As Liam shared, “When it comes to the delay effect, I think it worked pretty well. It felt like I was being kept on the edge for much longer than I expected it to last as if something was stopping me from climaxing. I must say the feeling of being that close for a long time was very pleasant and exciting!”

Overall, I think the Kiiroo Delay Spray is a great product to start your journey with. I have to point out that it’s not as strong as the Kiiroo Delay Gel, so it’s not the best option for people struggling with premature ejaculation, but it’s a perfect delay spray for stamina training!

Why I Chose It

I picked the Kiiroo Delay Gel for those who are looking for a stronger effect. I was impressed with its unique formula, which enhances sensation, and helps prolong the experience, rather than taking away all the pleasure. As our Bedbible tester Liam described it, “The gel’s formula felt very much like a warming lubricant, enhancing pleasure rather than simply numbing everything down.” This makes it a great choice for those who want to prolong the fun without sacrificing the intensity of the experience. It’s a warming, pleasure-enhancing product that keeps you on the edge—in the best way possible! 

One of the most impressive things about the Kiiroo Delay Gel is how effective it is! As Liam said, “I was surprised to see how long-lasting the effect was. At some point, I even got a bit annoyed, because no matter what I did I couldn’t finish.” While this might sound frustrating, it’s actually a testament to how well the gel works at delaying climax, which is a great option for those struggling with premature ejaculation!

A Closer Look
  • Delay cream with allspice and patchouli oil for natural numbing feel 
  • Contains peppermint oil for extra plumping effect
  • Cooling sensation

Specifications

Pros

  • Non-drip formula
  • Easy to use
  • Gentle numbing feel
  • Delays ejaculation

Cons

  • The cooling sensation is very strong and distracting
  • Intense scent
  • No plumping effect

Why I Chose It

The Jo Prolonger Male Genital Desensitizing Gel was an easy choice for the best budget-friendly delay cream. It’s the biggest option out of all three I’ve included, and its thick, non-drip formula will last you a long time. What made me choose this product as one of the best options are the natural ingredients like allspice, and patchouli oil for a numbing sensation, and peppermint oil which is supposed to add a plumping sensation. 

Our tester, Liam, who tested this toy wasn’t that impressed with it, as the oils turned out to provide too intense a cooling sensation that didn’t feel as comfortable, and he mentioned that the “peppermint oil was a bit distracting.” Also, the mixture of all the oils created a “distinct scent,” that made the experience less natural. 

On the other hand, the numbing sensation actually worked, so if you don’t mind the cooling sensation this might be a delay product worth checking out. It’s the most affordable option, and I think it’s worth checking out if you are looking for a delay cream to experiment with different sensations, or as a gentle tool for stamina training.

The Pros & Cons of Using Delay Spray for Men

Delay sprays for men have all kinds of pros and cons, so what I thought I’d do is talk you through a few of the biggies, starting with the pros:

  • Decreases the sensations – Lasting longer in bed is all about not getting as stimulated and worked up. If the amount of stimulation is decreased, then the chances of you lasting longer rise dramatically!
  • Allows for more enjoyment – Fewer sensations strangely mean that you get more enjoyment. It’s not just the physical sensation on your cock that you’ll enjoy; it’s everything else! The looks, the talking, the feels…the moment in general. A whole world of new pleasures opens up to you when you’re not worrying about finishing too soon!
  • Easy to use – What is easier to use than a simple spray? One or two squirts and you’re done using it! Just leave it to settle in and take effect!
  • Doesn’t last forever – You’re not going to want lessened sensations forever. Well, eventually the numbing agent will wear off, allowing you to properly enjoy the full sensations again!

There are of course downsides to delay sprays for men!

  • Could mask any pain – When your cock is numb, you may not notice any damage to it until it is too late. That’s why you should never try anything too death-defying while using a numbing spray!
  • Won’t work for everyone – Some people swear by delay sprays, others not so much, saying that they feel no effect. It’s a completely subjective thing. What works for one person may not work for another.

Alternatives to Using Delay Spray for Men

There are actually delay spray alternatives.

After all, not everyone wants to spray a special numbing potion onto their cock! You could use cock rings that squeeze your penis and lessen certain sensations.

In fact, BedBible has put together a great blog post on that specific subject!

You can also check out BedBible’s blog post on how to last longer in bed if you want any additional hints, tips, and tricks!

I reckon it’s worth a read!
