This stuff is amazingly fun! This is the slipperiest thing I’ve ever massaged the hubby with! The word “nuru” actually means “slippery” in Japanese. It’s thought to have derived from the word for seaweed “nori”, which is actually used in the creation of Nuru Gel.

Nuru Gel is clear, tasteless, odorless, water-based, non-staining, extremely slippery, and actually makes sticky strings similar to cum! And Nuru Gel is not for your typical back massage. This is a full body-to-body massage.

Yancha no jikan desu! (Naughty time!) I’ve never had so much fun giving a massage! I had seen a few tips that said to massage your partner with your breasts. That’s great for the well-endowed girls, but I just didn’t feel like I had enough and none of the massage products we had helped my breasts glide easily over my hubby. The Nuru Gel made it seem as if my breasts were gliding over an air hockey table. Wee! hehe I won’t lie to you, it felt great!

It’s awesome for leg and foot massages…*drifts into sleep… zzz…* Huh!? Oh, sorry It’s SO relaxing. Hubby’s hands really glide well with the Nuru Gel.

My only problem? The only non-hairy part of hubby is his back, so that’s where I did all my slippin’ and slidin’. It’s too weird to rub against the rest of his wet, hairy body. I only rub against those parts when they’re dry. He’s so fluffy soft. Like a giant teddy bear.

What’s In It?

Ingredients: water, glycerine, polyethylene oxide, grapefruit extract, seaweed extract, trehalose, disodium EDTA

So, if you’re prone to yeast infections, I would not use this because of the glycerine. Also, I’m a little leery of the disodium EDTA. EDTA is is in such widespread use that it has emerged as a persistent organic pollutant. EDTA exhibits low acute toxicity with LD50 (rat) of 2.0 – 2.2 g/kg. It has been found to be both cytotoxic and weakly genotoxic in laboratory animals. Oral exposures have been noted to cause reproductive and developmental effects.

How Do You Use It?

This used to be a massage only offered at “special” massage parlors in Japan. If you want the authentic experience, you can check out the Nuru Massage Wiki (How To) here.

If you don’t want to deal with getting a special mattress, wood bowl, etc (maybe even put on a skimpy little kimono), I’ll just give you the basic rundown.

-First make sure that the room you will be performing the massage in is comfortably warm.

-Take your bottle of Nuru Gel and submerge it in a sink of hot water. You’re going to leave it there while you do some prep work in the bathroom.

-Now, take your partner into the shower and treat them to a nice scrub down or go for a luxurious dip in the Jacuzzi (I want one!). Don’t bother drying them or yourself off after. Nuru Gel works best with wet skin.

-Pour some of the Nuru Gel into a bowl and mix it with some hot water to achieve desired consistency. Don’t add too much!

-Start pouring it over your partner and get them nice and slick. Don’t forget to slick yourself up, too!

-Let the fun begin! For those of you with a headboard, the person on top will need to grab that and use it as traction to slide up and down the other person’s body. For those of you without a headboard (like us), just get on top and wiggle around till your heart is content. ^-^ Depending on how dry your partner’s skin is, you may need to slather on more. It can soak into dry skin quickly

-Eventually, you’ll need to massage some *ahem* other parts, so have at it (Nuru Gel is suitable for use as a personal lubricant for both intercourse and oral). The slippery skin-to-skin sensations can build up a lot of anticipation leading to a great orgasm and and even better night’s sleep. Curse the alarm for waking me up the next morning!

If you’re going to use it as a lube, I wouldn’t mix it with any water. The fun thing is, it already has the consistency of cum, so it adds a little “sloppy seconds” fun to the mix.

Rating: 4/5 I…love…this…stuff! I only wish it didn’t have the EDTA problem. Plus, having the glycerine in it sort of makes it off limits as a lube for those prone to yeast infections. All in all, it’s a lot of fun, but safety is always my main concern.
