How do you use an anal desensitizer? Follow the directions on the pack. For Numb AF, the maker says to rub a generous amount around the anal opening and wait 5 minutes before play. The active ingredient is lidocaine at 5 percent, which numbs the skin on contact and gives a cool feeling. A desensitizer is not a lubricant, so use plenty of lube as well. Because numbed skin feels less, go slowly and stop if anything seems wrong.

How to use
Read the pack directions and warnings first, and patch test on your inner arm. Rub a generous amount around the anal opening and wait 5 minutes. Add plenty of lubricant, since the cream does not replace it. Go slowly, because numbed skin gives less feedback. Stop if you feel pain or irritation.
Care
- Use only as directed on the pack, on unbroken skin.
- Always pair it with a lubricant; water-based is the safe choice with toys and condoms.
- Wash your hands after applying and keep it away from the eyes.
- Close the cap and store at room temperature.
- Keep out of reach of children.
Frequently asked questions
How long before play should I apply it?
The maker's directions say to rub a generous amount around the anal opening and wait 5 minutes for it to take full effect. The listing does not say how long the numbing lasts, so check the pack.
Does it replace lubricant?
No. It is a desensitizing cream, not a lubricant. Anal play always needs generous lubrication because the area does not produce its own. Apply the cream as directed, wait, then use plenty of lube.
Is there anything to be careful about?
Yes. Numbed skin gives fewer warning signals, so move slowly and stop if something feels wrong. Do not use it if you are allergic to lidocaine. Read every warning on the pack before the first use.
