Who has desensitised to Original Source Mint & Tea Tree?
Posted by hide_in_plain_sight_@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 29 comments
The stuff used to blow my bollucks off! Now I get barely any sensation at all :(
Have they weakened the potency of the ingredients? Or have I just built up a tolerance because I use it every day?
Anyone know any stronger alternatives? I need my fix ha

My daughter bought me 3 tubs of it for Christmas a couple of years ago and I still have 2 tubs left - I use it in my kitchen soap dispenser.
Perhaps I am desensitised.

I don’t think it burns anymore unfortunately.

'unfortunately' lol
RokosBallsack@reddit
Two reasons mainly
Because of things like alcohol and Hydrogen peroxide I associate the pain with sanitation. If it’s hurting me image what it’s doing to the bacteria.
Reason two is tinglewank.

That's Numberwang!
My phone tired to autocorrect 'tinglewank' to 'singlehandedly', which I imagine is the method used in a tinglewank.
RokosBallsack@reddit
Yeah, you have to get a handrail installed and keep one hand on it at all times when tinglewanking, it’s high risk high reward.
My old friend tried two hands, slipped, suffered a TBI, entered a fugue state which saw them move to Bradford and become a reform voter.
Two hand tinglewank? Not even once.

My gooch gets a tingle and things get a bit spicy if it goes down the pee hole but other than I'm completely used to it :( I miss the feeling of an arctic breeze blasting my bits when you first get out of the shower.
WhiteDiamondK@reddit
Here! I still use it as I like smell but the tingle is much rarer now.
My mom just used it for the first time and commented on it… so it still exists!
steveakacrush@reddit
Just recently swapped back to it, the morning bollocks tingle is back with a vengeance!
Redruby88@reddit
I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw people talking about it months after I was using it. Only ever got a bit of a tingle on my face but apart from that, nothing
DameKumquat@reddit
Lucky you. I used it once and my scalp burned for days.
SamVimesBootTheory@reddit
Yeah same I've used it off and on over the years and never found it that intense
absolutebawbag@reddit
Dr Bronner’s soap should give you your tingle back.

Relevant review.

Fuck putting tea tree oil anywhere near my junk
DeifniteProfessional@reddit
I've gone the other way - anything containing SLS and perfumes makes my skin itch and dry out and crust up lmfao. Kinda miss using the tree tea tingle juice :(
steveysaidthis@reddit
I have to put it in my eyes to feel the rush again

Little weaker but after few years away from it the tingle is back... though nowhere near what it was!
SaltSpot@reddit
Is it because your bollocks have blown off?
countrycow2112@reddit
It's deffo been "watered" down. No where near as minty and a lot more runny.
IrrelevantPiglet@reddit
Never experienced any sort of tingling from it. Maybe I’m pre-desensitised
Boboshady@reddit
I got the tingle again when I went back to it after a few years away, so I think it's just de-sensitising.
DaughterOfATiredMech@reddit
🤣😂 honestly my husband uses this. Swears by it.. I always buy something different for myself I cannot take that tingle
