Intimitijd has been selling Nuru massage gel for a number of years now. This massage gel is becoming increasingly popular and sales continue to rise. Do you enjoy giving or receiving an (erotic) massage and have never heard of a ‘Nuru Massage’? Then be sure to read this blog. I will explain why the gel is a favorite among many customers and provide useful tips and tricks for using the Nuru massage gel.

The word ‘Nuru’ means slippery in Japanese. The massage technique originally comes from Japan. A characteristic of a Nuru massage is that the person massaging uses their entire body, resulting in a lot of physical contact. This makes it an intimate, sensual experience that can strengthen the bond between partners. The core of this special massage is the Nuru massage gel. Both the giver and the recipient are completely covered in the gel, so it will certainly get slippery ;)

What is Nuru Massage Gel?

Nuru massage gel is a clear, watery gel made from (mostly) natural ingredients, primarily derived from Nori seaweed. This gel is known for its smooth, gel-like texture, which allows two bodies to glide effortlessly over each other. The gel is not only skin-safe, but also moisturizing and nourishing, making it a great choice for people with sensitive skin. And most importantly, the gel can be safely used on the most intimate parts of the body (so it is also suitable as a lubricant)!

Preparation: Creating the Right Atmosphere

Before you begin the Nuru massage, it is important to create the right atmosphere. A Nuru massage is all about relaxation and intimacy, so make sure the room where you will be giving or receiving the Nuru massage is decorated romantically, but also comfortably. You can give the massage in the bedroom or, for example, in the bathroom. It is absolutely wonderful if you have underfloor heating.

1. Temperature: Make sure the room is warm enough, as you will have a lot of skin-on-skin contact during the massage. No one wants to feel cold during a relaxing massage!
2. Lighting: Dimmed lighting or candlelight can help create an intimate atmosphere. Soft, warm lights are best to help your partner relax.
3. Music: Soft, soothing music can contribute to the relaxation. Choose instrumental music or nature sounds to complete the atmosphere. Spotify has all kinds of playlists available. For example, the ‘wellness music 2024’.
4. Surface: Because the main idea with a Nuru massage gel is to glide and slide over each other, it is a good idea to use a special waterproof Nuru PVC sheet. This protects your bedding and/or provides a comfortable surface. At Intimitijd, we sell both the Nuru gel and the accompanying PVC sheet. You can easily rinse the PVC sheet with water, let it dry, and reuse it.

Tips for Using Nuru Massage Gel

Now that you have created the right atmosphere, it is time to use the Nuru massage gel. Below you will find a number of tips to get the most out of your Nuru massage experience.

1. Warm the Gel: Nuru massage gel feels best when it is at body temperature. You can warm the gel by placing the bottle in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. This creates a more pleasant sensation during the massage.
2. Application: Start by pouring a generous amount of gel into your hands and applying it gently to your partner's body. It is important to use enough gel so that your bodies can glide smoothly over each other without resistance.
3. Full Contact: One of the unique aspects of the Nuru massage is the use of the entire body to massage. Do not just use your hands, but also your chest, legs, and even your stomach to massage your partner. This creates an intense sense of closeness and connects you on a more intimate level.
4. Slow Movements: Nuru massage is about moving slowly and consciously. Take the time to enjoy the moment and make sure your movements are fluid and continuous. This helps to reduce tension and achieve complete relaxation.
5. Communication: Although it can be tempting to stay silent, communication is essential during a Nuru massage. Ask your partner what he or she enjoys and adapt your techniques accordingly. This ensures that you both enjoy the experience.
6. Water: When the Nuru gel dries out a little, you can simply make it slippery again by rubbing a little water over your body. You will notice that the Nuru gel becomes slippery again immediately. 
7. After the Massage: After the massage, you will naturally want to wash off the gel. Nuru gel is very easy to wash off with warm water, so a shared shower can be a romantic conclusion to your intimate moment.

Safety

Make sure you always pay attention to safety and comfort during the Nuru massage. Because the gel is so slippery, you can easily slip. Be careful with your movements, especially if you are working on a hard surface.

A Nuru massage can be an incredibly sensual and intimate experience for you and your partner. By creating the right atmosphere, using the gel in the right way, and communicating with your partner, you can achieve a deep connection and relaxation. Try it yourself and discover the unique experience of this centuries-old Japanese massage technique!
