What is Nuru gel?

Nuru gel — also known as nuru massage gel or nuru gel sex — is a colorless, odorless gel made from seaweed (Nori) that is extremely smooth and slippery. It is used in nuru massage: a Japanese massage technique in which the gel is applied over the entire body of both partners and the entire body surface is used for the massage. In Japanese, “nuru” means “smooth” or “slippery.” Nuru gel is water-soluble and rinses off easily with water. Nuru powder is a concentrated powder form that you mix with water—more economical and compact than ready-to-use gel. “Nuru gel Netherlands” refers to nuru products available in the Netherlands.

How does Nuru massage work?

Nuru massage is a full-body massage technique in which both partners are completely covered in Nuru gel. The masseur uses his or her entire body—chest, stomach, legs—as a massage tool that glides over the recipient’s body. The gel’s extremely high slipperiness makes this possible: there is no friction, only gliding pressure. The session is best performed on a waterproof surface—a vinyl sheet or nuru mat—otherwise the gel will soak through the bedding. A nuru massage set typically includes gel and an inflatable sheet or mat.

Types and Varieties

Nuru Gel in Bottles

Ready-to-use nuru gel in bottles ranging from 250 ml to 1 liter. Ready for immediate use. Brands: Nuru Gel Original, Sensuva. Choose a larger bottle for a full-body nuru session—a small bottle runs out quickly for two people.

Nuru powder

Concentrated nuru powder that you mix with water. Compact and economical — a small packet of powder makes several bottles of gel. You determine the consistency yourself by adding more or less water. Popular with regular nuru users due to the lower cost per use.

Nuru massage sets

Complete sets with nuru gel and an inflatable sheet or mat. The inflatable mat has raised edges that keep the gel on the surface. Ideal for those new to nuru massage who want everything they need right away. Some sets also include a sponge for applying the gel.

What should you look for when buying?

Allow for at least 250–500 ml of gel for a full-body nuru session with two people. Nuru powder is more economical—check the instructions for the water-to-powder ratio. Always use a waterproof underlay: nuru gel is water-soluble, but the large amount used can quickly soak through the bedding. Nuru gel is safe for mucous membranes but not always condom-safe—check the packaging. Rinse off with lukewarm water—nuru gel dissolves completely.
