How to Perform a Nuru Massage in a Home Setting

_

Let’s talk about Nuru massage — the slippery, slinky, full-body glide that’s basically the sensual Olympics. Done right, it’s intimacy with a capital “ooh.” Done wrong… it’s a health-and-safety slide into awkward-ville.

But don’t worry – l’ve got you covered (in tips, not just gel).

If you’ve been curious about giving it a go at home, welcome. You’re one brave step away from turning your bedroom into a spa-meets-waterslide moment. Here’s how to do it without turning your sheets into a crime scene.

First things first: What even is Nuru massage?

Originating from Japan, Nuru (meaning “slippery” – no mystery there) involves using a special gel made from seaweed extract to create a full-body, skin-to-skin massage. There’s no

“massage table.” Your bodies are the massage. The idea? Deep connection, slow movement, and a total escape from the daily grind.

Here’s how to bring Nuru to your bedroom (without destroying your mattress):

• 1. The setup matters. Like, a lot.

This is not the time to freestyle. You’ll need:

A waterproof sheet or inflatable Nuru mat

(or, DIY it with a shower curtain under a fitted sheet – thank me later).

Warm towels within reach.

Nuru gel – water-based, body-safe, and ideally warmed up before use.

Don’t just grab the kitchen lube and hope for the best.

Mood lighting. Scented candles. Music. Sexy atmosphere activated.

• 2. Heat things up

Literally and figuratively. Warm up the gel in a bowl of hot water (never microwave unless you enjoy chaos). Keep the room warm — nobody wants full-body goosebumps mid-glide. And maybe have a shower together first to get you in the mood and slippery from the get-go.

• 3. Start slow – tease the build-up

Begin with your hands. Gently spread the gel, using long, slow strokes. Once you’re both relaxed and coated like two sexy dolphins, it’s time to climb on.

• 4. Glide time

Use your body – chest, thighs, stomach – to massage your partner. It’s like slow dancing, but horizontal and considerably more naked. Move with rhythm, not rush. Pressure should feel intentional and playful. The point isn’t just friction — it’s fluidity, sensuality, connection.

• 5. Eye contact. Yes, even here.

This isn’t just sexy slip-and-slide. It’s about intimacy. Stay present. Laugh if it gets awkward.

Breathe. Touch. Enjoy each other without the pressure to perform.

• 6. Aftercare = essential

Warm towels. Cuddles. Maybe a second shower (unless you love living in a seaweed slick).

Hydrate. Chill. Recap the highlight reel.

Final thoughts?

Nuru at home is like gourmet cooking: messy, intense, but ridiculously satisfying when done with love and a solid plan. Whether you’re spicing things up or just feeling adventurous, it’s an unforgettable experience.

So go ahead – get slippery. Get silly. Get sensual.

And for the love of your sheets, use the waterproof mat.
