What is the difference between an anal relaxer and a numbing cream? Numbing products use ingredients such as lidocaine or benzocaine to dull feeling. That can hide pain, which is the body's signal to slow down. A relaxer takes a different approach. Relax Anal Relaxer contains neither ingredient. Its water-based formula gives a gentle warming feel that is meant to help the muscles ease, while sensation stays intact. You can still tell what is comfortable and what is not, so you can stop or add lubricant when you need to.

How to use
Read and follow the directions printed on the package; they take priority over anything here. Apply a small amount to the outside of the anus and give it a few minutes. Expect a mild warming feel. Then use plenty of lubricant as well, because a relaxer is not a substitute for it. Begin with a finger or a small toy with a flared base and go slowly. Pain means stop. Wash the area with warm water afterward, and stop using the product if you notice irritation.
Care
- Follow the directions on the package.
- Use a separate lubricant alongside it.
- Close the cap firmly after use.
- Store at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight.
- Stop using it if irritation occurs.
Frequently asked questions
Does it numb?
No. The maker states that it relaxes without numbing. The formula contains no lidocaine and no benzocaine, so you keep normal sensation and can tell if something is uncomfortable. That is the safer approach.
Is it a lubricant?
It is sold as a relaxer, not as a lubricant. The formula is water-based, but you should still use a proper lubricant for anal play, and plenty of it. Use both together.
Who can use it?
The maker describes it as suitable for men and women alike, and the name says it is for everyone. It is meant for adults preparing for anal play. Follow the package directions.
Can I use it with condoms and toys?
The formula is water-based, but the facts supplied do not state condom or toy compatibility. Check the package before using it with either. When in doubt, use a plain water-based lubricant with them.
What does the warming feel like?
The maker calls it a delicate warming sensation. Sensitivity varies from person to person, so try a small amount the first time and wash it off if it feels too strong.
