Nuru massage gel

Nuru massage gel is the gel used for body-to-body massage, where two naked bodies glide over each other rather than being massaged with the hands alone. In this category you will find the gel made for exactly that purpose: a water-based formula that spreads easily over the skin and keeps both bodies slippery from start to finish.

What Nuru massage is

Nuru massage is a type of body massage that originates from Japan. It is performed by covering both naked bodies in oil or gel, so they can glide over each other effortlessly. The practice is delicate and sensual, and it stimulates desire by creating an aphrodisiac effect \u2014 which is why the gel matters as much as the technique.

The gel in this category

Nuru Gel is a water-based gel conceived specifically for Nuru massage. Its formula has been developed for body massage: it is slippery, odourless and colourless, and it envelops both bodies in a smooth, transparent coating so they can slide together in a soft body-to-body massage. As it glides over the skin it creates an enveloping, arousing sensation that adds to the sensuality of the massage.

What to consider before you order

• Coverage: a body-to-body massage uses far more product than a hand massage, since both bodies need to be coated.
• Water-based: being water-based, the gel rinses away with water in the shower.
• Neutral by design: no colour and no scent, so nothing competes with the skin-to-skin contact.
• Where you do it: a smooth, washable surface such as an inflatable mattress or a large towel makes the session far easier to set up and clear away.

If you prefer a hand massage

Nuru gel is made for whole-body contact. If you would rather work with your hands, our Massage oils are designed for sensual massage in the usual sense, while Massage candles melt into a warm oil you pour straight onto the skin. Both are a good starting point when you want atmosphere as well as touch.
