How is an anal numbing cream meant to be used? A numbing cream is not a lubricant. It is a topical product with an active ingredient, here lidocaine at 5%, that dulls sensation on the skin where it is applied. Keep It Numb is put on externally a few minutes before play. After that you still need a proper water-based lubricant. Because numbed skin gives you less feedback, go slowly, and stop if anything feels wrong. Follow the directions on the tube.
Keep It Numb: cherry flavored cream with 5% lidocaine
Keep It Numb from Passion Lubricants is a white topical cream made for anal play. Its active ingredient is lidocaine at 5%, declared on the label. Applied externally, it starts to take effect within minutes. The distributor positions it for first-time anal experiences, anal training with larger sizes, and comfort during longer sessions.
The cherry flavor is there so that any oral contact afterward tastes of cherry and not of numbing cream. The cream can be used alongside water-based lubricants and silicone-safe toys. The compact 1.5 oz tube is made in the USA.
Best for: For adults who want to reduce sensitivity at the entrance before anal play, including beginners and people training up to larger toys. It is used with a separate water-based lubricant, never in place of one. Do a patch test first if you are new to lidocaine.

How to use
Read the directions on the tube before you start. If you have sensitive skin or have not used a lidocaine product before, test a small amount on a small area first. Wash and dry the area. Apply the cream externally a few minutes before play and give it time to take effect. Then apply your usual water-based lubricant and continue slowly. The cream is for external use only. Numbed skin gives less warning, so do not push past resistance. If irritation occurs, stop and rinse with water.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a lubricant?
No. It is a numbing cream with 5% lidocaine and it does not replace lubricant. Apply it externally first, wait a few minutes, then use a water-based personal lubricant for the play itself.
How long before play should I apply it?
The distributor says to apply it externally a few minutes before play, and that it begins to take effect within minutes. The facts do not state how long the effect lasts, so check the directions on the tube.
Can it be used with toys and condoms?
The distributor says it works alongside water-based lubricants and silicone-safe toys without affecting them. The facts do not mention condoms, so check the label or the condom maker's guidance before combining them.
Why is it flavored?
The cherry flavor is added so that oral contact after the cream is on tastes of cherry and not of a medicinal product. The cream is still labeled for external use only, and lidocaine can numb the lips and tongue as well.
Who should not use it?
Follow the label. Do a patch test first if you have sensitive skin or have never used a lidocaine product, and stop if you notice irritation. If you have any doubt about using lidocaine, ask a pharmacist or doctor first.
