Pace by Don is the leading natural alternative to Lidocaine. In a clinical study, lidocaine caused 6 out of 10 men to lose their erection from numbness. The most common side effect of lidocaine use is numbness transferred to the partner. Pace works through a completely different mechanism. Its lead ingredient, Cnidium Monnieri, contains osthole, a compound shown to increase smooth muscle relaxation by releasing nitric oxide and inhibiting PDE-5. You last longer because your body is maintaining the erection with less effort, reducing the urgency that leads to early climax. No anesthetics. No numbness. No pharmaceutical side effects. Benefits Lasts Longer Without Going Numb: Lidocaine blocks sodium channels, which shuts down nerve signaling at the surface. Prickly Ash Bark works differently. Its active compound, sanshool, modulates potassium channels, which changes how sensory neurons fire rather than silencing them. Lidocaine turns the volume to zero. Prickly Ash turns it down to a level where you're still fully present but no longer overwhelmed. Supports Stronger, Longer-Lasting Erections: Cnidium Monnieri's active compound, osthole, has been shown to relax smooth muscle tissue by releasing nitric oxide and inhibiting PDE-5, the same mechanism behind prescription ED medications. Smoother blood flow means firmer erections that last, without a prescription. She Feels Everything: Partner numbness is the number one reported side effect of lidocaine delay products. It transfers on contact, dulling her sensation during intercourse. Pace's botanical formula absorbs fully before contact and contains zero anesthetic agents. Nothing transfers. Her experience stays completely intact. Warming, Not Numbing: Ginger Root, Cinnamon Bark, and Panax Ginseng create a mild warming effect that promotes blood flow to the area. The result is more sensation and engagement, not less. No Harmful Side Effects: In a clinical study, lidocaine applied for 30 minutes caused erection loss in 60% of men. Applied for 45 minutes, 100% of men lost their erections. Pace is 100% botanical. No synthetic anesthetics, no erection loss, no pharmaceutical side effects.

Usage How to Use: APPLY: 15-30 minutes before sex. Use half a pea-sized amount total. Apply only to the most sensitive areas on the head of the penis. RUB IN BRIEFLY: Massage in for 30–60 seconds until mostly absorbed. Wash your hands. Put underwear back on while it absorbs. WIPE DOWN: Before sex, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth. The active ingredients have already absorbed. The surface is clean for contact. HOW OFTEN: Use only when needed. Do not reapply in the same session. Limit to once per 24 hours. FIRST-TIME SAFETY CHECK: A day before your first use, put a tiny dab on your forearm and leave it there for 24 hours to make sure your skin is okay with it. Don't use on broken, irritated, or rashy skin. Pairs With: Use Pace alongside Drive and Boost for complete confidence. Strong erections, heightened arousal, and the staying power to enjoy it all.
