What is nuru gel?

Nuru gel — also called nuru massage gel or nuru gel sex — is a colorless, odorless algae-based (Nori) gel that is extremely smooth and slippery. It is used for nuru massage: a Japanese massage technique in which the gel is applied over the entire body of both partners and the full 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-made 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 coated with nuru gel. The masseur uses his or her entire body — chest, stomach, legs — as a massage instrument that glides over the receiver's body. The gel's extremely high slipperiness makes this possible: there is no friction, only gliding pressure. The session preferably takes place on a waterproof surface — a fitted sheet or nuru mat — because otherwise the gel will soak through the bedding. A nuru massage set usually includes gel and an inflatable sheet or mat.

Types and variants

Nuru gel in bottles

Ready-to-use nuru gel in bottles 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 is quickly used up for two people.

Nuru powder

Concentrated nuru powder that you mix with water. Compact and economical — a small sachet of powder makes several bottles of gel. You control the thickness yourself by adding more or less water. Popular with regular nuru users because of 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 just starting with nuru massage and who want everything at home right away. Some sets also include a sponge for applying the gel.

What should you look for when buying?

Count on 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/powder ratio. Always use a waterproof base layer: nuru gel is water-soluble, but the amount means bedding gets soaked quickly. Nuru gel is safe for mucous membranes, but not always condom-safe — check the packaging. Rinse off with lukewarm water — nuru gel dissolves completely.
