How to use men's intimate skin care

Simple steps for the spray, cream and gel: how much to use, where, and the 24-hour patch test before first use.

Three simple steps

The same for every product in the range.

  1. Patch test first

    Before first use, apply a little to the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours. Any redness, itching or irritation? Don't use it.

  2. Apply a little

    To clean, dry, unbroken skin on the outside of the intimate area. One or two sprays, or a pea-sized amount of cream or gel.

  3. Wipe off and wash hands

    Let it absorb, wipe off any excess with a damp cloth before skin-to-skin contact, and wash your hands.

Good to know:For external use only. Keep away from the eyes. Not for broken or irritated skin, or within 24 hours of shaving, trimming or waxing. Stop if irritation develops. Adults 18+.

Safety at a glance

The same rules for the spray, cream and gel.

  • External use only

    Only on the outside of the intimate area. Never inside the body.

  • Patch test first

    On the inside of your forearm, 24 hours before first use.

  • Unbroken skin only

    Not on broken, irritated or sunburnt skin, and not within 24 hours of shaving, trimming or waxing.

  • Keep away from eyes

    And from the opening at the tip of the penis. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with plenty of water.

  • Stop if it irritates

    Rinse with water. If redness, burning or itching carries on, speak to a pharmacist or doctor.

  • Adults only

    For adults aged 18 and over. Keep out of reach of children, in a cool, dry place.

After shaving, trimming or waxing

Freshly shaved, trimmed or waxed skin can be sensitive, and razor burn, razor bumps or a shaving rash can leave tiny breaks in the skin. Give your skin at least 24 hours to settle before you use any of our products, and skip them altogether on any area that is sore, red or broken.

If you shave, our guide to how to shave your balls safely goes through it step by step.

Quick questions

About using it.

All FAQs
How much should I use?

Start small: one or two sprays, or a pea-sized amount of cream or gel. You can add a little more next time if you want.

What does it feel like?

You may notice a gentle cooling or tingling feel on the skin. Everyone's skin is different, so start with a small amount. If it feels stronger than you'd like, wipe off the excess with a damp cloth.

Can it pass to a partner?

Yes, it can pass to a partner through skin contact, and they may notice a gentle cooling or tingling feel on the skin too. To reduce the chance of this, let it absorb, then wipe off any excess with a damp cloth before skin-to-skin contact.

Not sure which one to choose?

Answer one question about how you'd like to apply it, and we'll point you to the spray, cream or gel.
