Create Your Own Sensual Massage Gel at Home
Are you looking to spice things up in the bedroom with a sensual massage experience? You don't need to visit an expensive spa or buy pricy products - with a few simple ingredients, you can make your own slippery massage gel right at home to enjoy a nuru-style massage with your partner.
While professional nuru gel contains unique seaweed extracts that provide its distinct texture, you can easily whip up a reasonable alternative using common household items. As detailed in this recipe from Traditional Bodywork, the core ingredients are:
- Carrageenan powder (a common thickening agent derived from seaweed)
- Potassium chloride
- Distilled water
- Optional: A few drops of your favorite essential oil for scent
Simply mix 4 teaspoons of carrageen powder and 1 teaspoon of potassium chloride in a bowl. Boil 1 cup of distilled water, then slowly stir it into the dry mixture until fully dissolved and a thick gel forms. Allow to cool before use. Store any leftover gel in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
If you don't have carrageenan powder handy, there are some other effective ingredients you can use to create that slick, sensual feel, as this YourTango article suggests:
- Aloe vera gel (pure, not the green kind)
- Coconut oil
- Water-based lubricant
Combine about 1/4 cup of each ingredient and blend until smooth and gel-like. You may need to melt the coconut oil first. Experiment with the ratios to get your desired consistency.
As this Reddit thread highlights, the most important things are finding a formula that provides enough glide while still washing off easily, and doing a patch test first to check for any skin sensitivity. Have fun, get creative, and enjoy connecting with your partner in a slippery new way!
