Hiforce Delay Spray

What the spray does

Men reach for this spray when they finish sooner than they would like, which is premature ejaculation. The active ingredient is lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, so it numbs the skin it lands on. Sprayed on the penis, it dulls the nerve signals that build towards climax, and that delay is what the spray is used for. Only the sprayed skin goes numb; nothing else in the body is affected.

The spray comes in a 20g can, sold as one or in multi-packs.

Using the spray

Spray a light covering over the head and shaft of the penis and let it dry before sex, rather than reaching for it at the last moment. A small amount does the job; adding more only deepens the numbness. Wipe off any leftover spray before sex so it does not pass to your partner, then wash your hands. Lidocaine must not go near the eyes, and fingers carry it there easily.

Leave the spray off skin that is cut, grazed, sore or inflamed — damaged skin lets lidocaine into the bloodstream faster than intact skin does.

Side effects to expect

The numbness is the point, and most users notice little else. A short-lived sting, warmth or redness where the spray landed is common and fades with the effect. If the skin burns or itches sharply, rinse the spray off and leave the area until it settles. A rash, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or trouble breathing after use is an allergic reaction that needs urgent treatment.

Because lidocaine numbs any skin it touches, residue on your hands or your partner's skin will numb there too.

Hiforce Delay Spray or Xylocaine?

Lidocaine also appears here as Xylocaine, a 2% gel in a tube. That gel is for numbing a patch of skin and easing pain, applied with a finger; Hiforce Delay Spray is a 20g spray built around use before sex. Same ingredient, different form, different job — pick the gel if you want lidocaine for sore skin or a minor procedure.
