Sta-Erect Cream Bx

A Numbing Cream with an Odorless, Tasteless Formula

Sta-Erect Cream from Doc Johnson Novelties has one job: a mild numbing feel exactly where you apply it. It has no scent and no taste, so nothing about it announces itself once it's on. The 1 oz container is compact enough to tuck into a nightstand drawer or a travel bag.

Formula & Feel

This is a greaseless cream. It absorbs into the skin quickly instead of sitting on the surface. Sheets and lingerie stay free of the slick film that heavier creams leave behind. The active ingredient is 7.5% benzocaine, which creates the numbing sensation. The formula is also fragrance-free and glycerin-free, which matters to anyone who avoids those ingredients in intimate products.

• Odorless and tasteless
• Contains 7.5% benzocaine for a numbing feel

• Phthalate-free
• Greaseless, quick-absorbing texture
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

The cream is water-based, so it works with latex condoms and with most adult toys. Silicone toys are generally fine with water-based formulas. Still, test a small spot on any silicone toy before longer sessions, because some silicone blends react unpredictably. The numbing effect stays where you apply the cream, so a partner may feel it too after contact. Keep that in mind when you plan couples play.

Application & What to Know

Start with a small amount and rub it in until it disappears. You can add more later, but you can't take away what's already absorbed, so go slowly the first time. Because the cream is greaseless, you can follow it with your usual lube without the two mixing into a mess. The packaging has been updated recently, but the formula inside hasn't changed. The cream is powerless and isn't designed for water play, so keep it away from the shower or tub. Doc Johnson backs it with a 90-day warranty.
