Ebanel Set of 5% Lidocaine Numbing Spray and Tattoo Balm, Numb520 Topical Anesthetic Pain Relief Burn Itch Spray, and Premium Tattoo Aftercare Butter Brightener Ink Color Enhancing Ointment 3Oz

I was APPALLED at how very tiny this jar is but it had great reviews so I thought I may as well give it a chance. My heart sunk as I remembered the review that instructed to spread it on "like frosting on a cake." I also thought of all the reviews that suggested two coats. Since I was planning on using it to give myself a Brazilian (sugaring, not waxing), I wasn't taking any chances. I imagined that I would use up most of the tiny bottle, considering that I had already made the attempt twice (without numbing cream) and failed miserably. It even occurred to me that I wouldn't be saving all that much (over salon prices) if I couldn't get it all done on the first try and would need to do the whole thing all over again! It works! It works like a miracle! I spread it on, not thick at all but thick enough to make sure it got to the skin (I did trim first but well, you know). I remembered the reviews that said not to rub it in too much, just leave it on the surface, so I did. I couldn't figure out how to cover it with plastic though so I got a large plastic bag (similar to a garbage bag) and cut out leg holes. I wore that for 20 minutes and went to put on another coat. I was already numb! I couldn't feel a thing but even so, I wanted the 2nd coat, hoping it would reach a deeper level and to make sure I was as numb as possible. Again, I put my plastic bag back on and waited until I washed that off about 15 minutes later and was TOTALLY numb! I'm happy to report that I completed the ENTIRE job and barely used about 1/8 of the bottle! I do have a few strays and a couple of small patches left but that's no fault of the numbing cream, sugaring is hard! I could have easily gotten a new glob of sugar and kept going but I figured that was enough for one day (it's not good to keep going over and over the same area) and I'm not afraid anymore! I wouldn't need to numb the whole area to do the rest anyway, just a few patches; in fact, I likely wouldn't need it at all for the small amount left. I was numb for a good 40 minutes after, when the cooling cream I bought for the occasion started to kick in. Now I'm not saying it was pain-free, it was still painful, but a MILLION times better than my first two attempts! I was originally looking for numbing cream for derma-rolling and I wanted to try it on my face first but once I got my sugaring recipe right, I just couldn't wait to get it done! Sorry to write a book here but I just couldn't be happier! It costs about $80 to have a Brazilian sugaring at the salon and I did my own for less than $5! Sure, I could use a few touch-ups, but I'll be doing that in my own time, by myself, for pennies! I spent about $2.50 for the amount of numbing cream I used, a tiny amount of Finipil Lait 50 (antiseptic cream that cools, soothes, moisturizes, protects against infection, reduces ingrown hairs, and according to some reviewers, slows hair regrowth), a small amount of my sugaring mixture (2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup fake lemon juice, 1/4 cup water- simmered until it turns the color of dark ale), one rubber glove from a pack of 10 pairs from the Dollar Tree, and a large Goodwill bag! I WILL be buying this again! I'll update when I get around to derma-rolling for those of you buying this for that purpose but if your intent is having a Brazilian, do it! UPDATE: I never got around to doing those last few little patches (it wasn't a vanity thing, it was a comfort thing and they didn't bother me) but I've redone the whole thing again today. I wondered if two coats were really necessary, or if the plastic was really necessary, but I didn't want to sit around naked to test it so this time I used a Walmart bag to cover my crotch and put on some big granny-panties to hold it in place under my pajama pants. In some places I was nearly numb after 20 minutes, but in others, not so much. I opted for the 2nd coat and repeated the process. I waited almost 20 mins and was pleasantly numb. Sure, it still hurt like hell, but I was able to get through an ENTIRE self-Brazilian sugaring wax! Since the hairs were shorter and hadn't completely grown in yet (it wasn't as thick), I'm almost bare now! I didn't want to keep going over parts that don't matter much (the upper line that always bleeds) so I still have a few strays there but again, that's because of my sugaring method, not this numbing cream. I will DEFINITELY keep buying this! Now that I've figured out a cheap way to do away with pubic hair, I will NEVER go back to the irritation of dealing with it. See my review for Finipil Lait 50 if you're interested in using that in combination with this.

So, I read a-lot of these reviews and decided to try it out. I went to my first tattoo removal as ya girl had made too many bad decisions when I was younger. When I went the first time to this session. I had no numbing applied. I asked myself after I had just purchased a discounted plan for 9 removal sessions, how am I going to do this again? The pain was horrible. Then I found this product online. I applied it in a thin amount. No rubbing in really. Id say I applied enough to create about a 1mm coating, and then wrapped it in saran wrap. I did this 2 hours in advance. Drove to the place with it on and the laser tech removed the wrap. Experience before? White knuckled, scrunched face, teeth grinding, what felt to be an hour but was only 5 minutes. Taking multiple breaks. Could not do it. And I have plenty of tattoo work done but this was different and to say the least, way worse. With numbing using this? Relaxed, quick, could still feel it but absolutely tolerable. It goes from not numbed, hot oil burning sensation x10. To numbed, a light rubber band snapping. Im talking, extremely tolerable. It lasted the entire 4 tattoos in the removal session. This stuff works great. Im gonna use it every time no questions asked.

Most recommended numbing cream used by tattoo artists for large pieces with intricate work and vivid colors. This product does not leave a greasy residue or change the consistency of the ink on the area that is being tattooed. The spray won't work until you've broken the skin so it's great to get them both the cream and the spray to start one section doing several hours of work and continue to spray about every half hour once it starts wearing off. Works amazingly! Won't feel ANYTHING! EASILY SIT FOR HOURS, FEEL ASLEEP ON A PIECE FROM NIKE TO KNEE OUTLINE+ RIB SECTION SHADING with 2%BMI!!!!

Definitely works for blood draws! I have been dealing with general anxiety around needles for years but lately the occurrences have increased and I needed something to help take the shock away. Enter this gem. Applied 30 min before blood draw and didn’t feel the insertion, plus the little stick right after once it’s in the vein was pretty reduced. All in all I’ll definitely repeat this process. I also should add that the ease probably also came from a warm shower, arnica to reduce previous bruising, magnesium the night before, and electrolytes and banana. Only reason I’m not giving a full 5 is because side I’d like to try it on an IV administered with a slightly bigger needle before calling it perfect.
