Details and highlights
My review
Who it’s not for: if you know your skin reacts to mint essential oils, it’s better to look at another option in the delay products for men collection rather than risk skin discomfort.
Description
In my experience, Stay Up is one of the simplest delay creams to understand: its formula relies on mint and eucalyptus oils rather than a single anesthetic. It combines several mint oils and eucalyptus to temporarily reduce the sensitivity of the penis skin, along with hazelnut oil to prevent it from drying out. The 30 ml container fits easily in a bedside table, with a detailed ingredient list on the packaging—rare enough in this category to be worth mentioning.
What this cream contains
Stay Up combines several mint oils (wild, spearmint, and peppermint) and eucalyptus for a refreshing effect, complemented by vegetable hazelnut oil to moisturize the area. The manufacturer provides the full list of ingredients: water, glycerin, cetearyl alcohol, synthetic beeswax, and refreshing active ingredients such as menthol and menthyl lactate. It is one of the few creams in this range to provide such a detailed formula, allowing you to check for yourself whether a particular ingredient could be a problem for you.
How to use it
Massage a small amount of cream onto the penis, starting at the glans, a few minutes before intercourse. The refreshing effect is felt quickly; I recommend starting with a small amount to gauge the sensation before applying more if needed. Allow one minute for absorption before continuing, to avoid transferring too much product to your partner.
Who it is for / not for
This cream is suitable if you are looking for a simple topical solution, without a device or oral medication, with clearly identified active ingredients on the label rather than an opaque formula. If mint essential oils do not suit you or you have reactive skin, I recommend testing it first on a small area, or looking at another option from the delay products for men collection.
Good to know
The manufacturer does not specify a water-resistance rating or an exact duration of effect, so I prefer to stick to the facts on these points rather than inventing a figure. The 30 ml container should be stored at room temperature, away from direct light, to preserve the freshness of the essential oils. The tube closes easily between uses, which limits oxidation of the blend and extends the product's shelf life once opened.
A friend's tip — Allow one minute for absorption before intercourse so the refreshing effect has time to set in.
