Men in the UAE are becoming more and more curious about viable solutions for the treatment of premature ejaculation, a condition that plagues many, regardless of age and creed. The topical agents marketed for this condition are two in number: delay sprays and delay creams. The functioning of both agents depends on their ability to reduce sensitivity; however, there is a big difference in their application, mode of action, and patient experience.
Delay Sprays
The application is instantaneous, and the absorption should be quick too. Such that 10 to 15 minutes before intimacy, the user ought to apply the spray, allowing the active ingredients of the drug to offer their effect while maintaining spontaneity. The lightweight formula of most delay sprays absorbs quickly without leaving a residue. It is less intrusive than creams for application, so many men in Dubai and Abu Dhabi prefer it.
Delay Creams Act in a Similar Manner
Delay creams act similarly to delay sprays but offer a different experience for their users. These thicker formulations have similar active ingredients but require much more deliberate application. A cream formulation allows better control of coverage and dosage, which some users may find beneficial.
Delay creams require more time to absorb compared to sprays, which require an extended application period and create a slightly steadier numbing effect for users.
Mode of Action versus Duration of Effect
Research has shown the efficacy of both products when properly applied. Although sprays have shorter onset times, making them more suitable for spontaneous situations, they last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the formulation used and sensitivity levels. Creams may also offer long-lasting effects due to their density in formulation. In a few individuals, some state that they can enjoy the positive results of creams up to two hours after application. The trick is finding the right concentration and application method that meets your needs.
Considerations for UAE Residents
Living in the UAE gives a peculiar lighting to the two options here. The hot and humid climate affects the impact and performance of any topical product. Spray would probably be a better option in the hotter months since it feels lighter and less suffocating on the skin than creams.
In this part of the world, storage condition counts substantially. In a cool and dry place, and avoiding direct sunlight for both products is necessary. Air conditioning also helps to maintain the integrity of both products throughout the year.
Application and Practices
Success with either formulation depends on rigorous application procedures. For sprays, keep the tubular bottle at the distance indicated in the instructions and apply evenly to the target area, taking care not to over-apply because this can excessively numb the target area or transfer to a partner.
Conclusion
Your decision should depend on your personal favorite, lifestyle status, and immediate needs. Others should include spontaneity score requirements, skin tolerance sensitivity, tolerance with climate, and comfort with application. Some men say alternating between these products helps them get an approximate idea of which one works better in different settings.
