Tickling Tools -- Feet and my GF

[pacattack]

Hey all,

I was wondering if you could help me with some insight here. I have been a ticklephile for as long as I can remember with a lot of experience but could use some help from other experienced 'lers.

The basic situation is that my current gf is hella ticklish, but her feet are hit and miss and are very particular in terms of what gets a good reaction in her feet vs not. For example, a hairbrush with lotion or oil does nothing, but my fingers can get an ok reaction if I hit her in the right spots on her feet in just the right way with pressure, speed, etc. But the reaction dies off rather quickly, say a minute or so, then she isn't ticklish there anymore. Psychological ramp up has helped a lot, but that is also hit and miss. I want to find something that works consistently and gets the extreme reactions out of her feet that I have witnessed and know exist.

She and I are really into each other and are compatible in every way. Except this, which is a bummer, because I really like ticking feet. So I would like to find a solution. She is definitely ticklish there, she'll go nuts during a pedicure, and if i do it exactly just right, so I know there is a solution.

I just need to find the right tools.

So I ask all of you, anyone with any input here? I have a lot of ideas but dont know the names of the things I think would work well... so I can't find them online. Such as the little prickly pointy stiff plastic brushes (I dont even know if it is classified as a brush), different kinds of exfoliators, whatever those silicone glove things are that French Tickling uses, etc.

Can anyone help out here?

Thanks a ton

I have heard that a guitar pick will work.
Anyway... Sounds like Psychological ramp, like you said. That would help explain the hit or miss nature of your sessions.

I would employ more tickle talk!

A lot of the time we (lers) think about devices and such... but I bet you can swing her back over to being more ticklish with more tickle talk!

Try physical ramp up as well, tickle her somewhere you know she's absolutely ticklish, for most it'd be armpits then you can move downward from there sort of sending that ticklishness towards her feet, downside is this can take a while making a longer session.

Hypnosis works as well you can find info on that by searching hypnotic induction techniques on Google, it's really cool.

Also you can try ramp up at feet say have her wear sneakers or other thin side shoes and tickle through the shoe, remove shoe then tickle through sock, remove sock. Should be a surprise sensation each time you remove an article

I to say definitely want to lean into the psychological play and tickle-talk. I'll add some insights based on my own personal experiences, just in case you might find it helpful.

So, my gf is super ticklish. Everywhere. To the point where it can be problematic, as I will more often than not tickle her by accident. It can suck the joy out of tickling, when a tickle-session leads to injuries due to thrashing. Thankfully nothing serious ever happened as I put a pause on serious tickling until we could figure out a solution. So you see, my situation is the polar opposite of yours; however, we are similar in that we both have a puzzle to solve, so that we may enjoy our fetish in a way that enriches our love life, increases our bonds with our beloveds and all that good stuff. Ya?

Long story short, we discovered that bondage helps. By tying her down securely and comfortably, my gf was able to enjoy being tickled without the fear that her thrashing would cause her to get hurt. We also discovered that blind folding helps the experience. I'm still not sure if it's because her not seeing the tickling happening reduces the psychological "torture" aspect of it... or if it enhances the experience. We are both still trying to parse this.

But I notice our sessions tend to be the most enjoyable when I employ more vocal tickle-play; taunting, delaying the actual tickling with gentle teasing and hovering, whispering tickle-words into her ear.

I also find mixing it up helps. If I notice her left foot is inducing less laughter, I will reach up and tickle her inner thigh. Mixing sensations also helps; starting off with something sensual and pleasurable, to lull her into a state of relaxation and bliss... only to creep a tickle attack on another part of her body.

As far as actual tools. Here are my recent discoveries.

Massage oil is ok. It's slippery, reduces friction, and smells nice. But there's just something about lube that cranks ticklishness up several notches! On paper, it doesn't make any sense to me. But something about lube even makes non-ticklish things tickle! I discovered this by accident while stimulating my gf. I thought I was doing a good thing for her by adding more lube, when she burst out laughing and started bucking around. Suddenly she was ticklish down there, and since we weren't in "tickle play mode" I had to stop. But I made mental notes for next time lol!

A good bullet vibe, at high setting, and hovered just above the skin, is a magical tickle tool.

So yea, in summary: Lots of verbal tickle-play to keep the brain engaged and keep her off balance. Mixing up sensations and tempos to keep it varied. Lean into what works but switch it up so she doesn't get bored. Try lube! And see if a bullet vibe to those toes would help.

Happy tickling!
