Let me first set the context—I'm 38 years old, working in sales, with lots of social engagements and high stress. Over the past two years, I've clearly noticed a decline in that area compared to before. I'd tried some oral products earlier, which worked but left me with some lingering concerns. Later, I saw someone on a forum recommending topical delay sprays, so I figured I'd give them a try. After browsing around, I settled on the Pirelli Delay Spray 40-Minute Lasting Authentic Anti-Counterfeit Men's Edition, mainly because its ingredients are plant-based, which seemed gentler, and it had anti-counterfeit verification, making me feel it was more reliable.

The first time I used it was after a shower at night, spraying it 20 minutes ahead as per the instructions. I shook the bottle a few times, then sprayed twice on the glans and the coronal sulcus, gently spreading it with my hand. Right after spraying, there was a cool sensation, with no smell—that was better than I'd expected. About 10 minutes in, I felt a slight warmth in the area, but not a harsh burning sensation—just a mild, warm feeling. By around the 20-minute mark, I noticed my sensitivity had indeed decreased, but it wasn't completely numb. It was that state where you can still feel stimulation but don't get triggered right away.

That session lasted about 30-plus minutes in total, nearly double my usual time. I also felt my control had significantly improved—I could stop whenever I wanted, unlike before when I'd easily lose it. What pleased me most was that throughout the whole process, both parties had a good experience, with no dryness issues from dragging on too long, because the Pirelli spray has some lubricating effect built in.

I've used it several more times since, and here are a few observations I've noted:

The onset time depends a lot on how you use it. If you wait the full 20 minutes after spraying, the effect is most stable. Once, when I was short on time, I started about 10 minutes after spraying—it still worked, but the effect didn't feel as complete. Another time, I sprayed a bit too much, and it ended up being overly numb, dulling the sensation and actually hurting the experience. So you really have to figure out the right dosage through trial and error.

Side effects: The first few times, there was a warm sensation in the area, but it faded after a while. I didn't experience the stinging or redness that some people mention online, which put my mind at ease. Also, you need to be careful when spraying—avoid the urethral opening, or it'll sting a bit. I got hit by that on my first try, but I learned my lesson after that.

Now for the drawbacks: First, while the spray doesn't have a strong smell, if you sniff closely, there's still a faint herbal scent, which a sensitive partner might notice. Second, its effect lasts around 40-60 minutes; if you want a longer duration, you might need to reapply mid-session, but you have to watch the dosage to avoid overdoing it. Third, price-wise, a 15ml bottle lasts about 20-plus uses, which breaks down to roughly 10-plus yuan per use—not expensive, but not cheap either, and it stings a bit if you're using it long-term.

I've also tried a few other brands since then, and here's a quick comparison:

Overall, the Pirelli Delay Spray 40-Minute Lasting Authentic Anti-Counterfeit Men's Edition is a fairly balanced option—clear delay effects, moderate gentleness, and decent value for money.

Finally, let me talk about who it suits and who it doesn't:

If you're looking to occasionally enhance the experience, or you're new to delay sprays, Pirelli is a solid choice because its balance of effectiveness and gentleness makes it less likely to disappoint. But if you're after extreme endurance, or you're especially sensitive to numbness, you might want to consider a milder product, like the Japanese Black Panther 4th Gen. Also, if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or are on other medications, be sure to consult a doctor first—topical products carry lower risk, but they're not 100% safe either.

Oh, and about the anti-counterfeit verification—I specifically tested it, and scanning the code did pull up the product info, which is reassuring. After all, there are so many fakes on the market these days, and getting a genuine product isn't easy.

That's my personal, real experience, and I hope it offers some useful reference for anyone thinking of trying it.
