Quick Answer
Desensitizing delay spray is a topical product applied to the penis before intercourse to temporarily reduce sensitivity, helping you last longer. The active ingredient is typically a mild anesthetic like lidocaine. Promescent Delay Spray uses a metered-dose system so you control exactly how much you apply.

How Does Desensitizing Delay Spray Work?
The spray contains a numbing agent that temporarily dulls nerve endings in the skin. When you apply it a few minutes before sex, it raises your threshold for stimulation, which can delay ejaculation. The effect is localized and wears off after about 30–60 minutes, depending on the product and amount used.
Is It Safe and Are There Side Effects?
For most men, desensitizing delay spray is safe when used as directed. The most common side effect is a temporary loss of sensation in the applied area. Some partners may also feel mild numbness if the spray transfers. To avoid this, wash off the spray before intercourse or wait until it dries completely. Always start with the lowest recommended dose.
How Do You Use Promescent Delay Spray Correctly?
Shake the bottle, then spray 1–3 metered doses onto the head and shaft of your erect penis. Wait 5–10 minutes for it to absorb, then wash off with soap and water before intercourse. The metered pump helps you avoid over-application. Each bottle contains multiple uses, and you can adjust the number of sprays based on your response.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to work?
Most desensitizing sprays start working within 5–10 minutes. Promescent recommends waiting that long after application, then washing off before intercourse. Plan ahead: apply, wait, rinse, then proceed.
Will it affect my partner?
If the spray hasn't dried or been washed off, it can transfer to your partner and cause mild numbness. Washing off before sex or using a condom prevents this. Rinsing or using a condom protects your partner's sensation.
Can I use it with a condom?
Yes, you can apply the spray, let it dry, then put on a condom. The condom adds a barrier that also helps prevent transfer. Condoms and delay spray can be used together safely.
How many sprays should I use?
Start with 1 spray. If you need more effect, increase to 2 or 3 sprays on subsequent attempts. Promescent's metered pump makes it easy to adjust. Start low, go slow. Adjust based on your experience.
