Our Look at Doc Johnson Power Plus Delay Cream

Do you know what the actual definition for "Premature Ejaculation (PE)" is? Well, the truth is that there is no real, concrete, universally accepted definition for "premature" ejaculation. Some eggheads in the science world claim that it is "2 minutes or less after penetration". If you are an avid porn fan, though, you'd think that anything less than 30 minutes was "premature". Still, others simply define premature ejaculation as climaxing before they are able to finish sexually satisfying their partner.

No matter what your own personal definition of PE may be, if you have trouble lasting as long as you would like in bed, you might want to think about incorporating a delay cream or spray into your bedroom routine. With Doc Johnson, you have two options: their Power Plus (or "Power+") Delay Cream, or their Power Plus Delay Spray. Both promise to give you "more banging for your buck" and, naturally, claim they can help men last longer in bed before ejaculating. But do they really work? Our inquiring minds wanted to know, so we decided to look into them.

What Are the Active Ingredients in the Power+ Delay Products?

As with the other 90% of PE delay products on the market today, the main ingredient belongs to the "-caine" family of topical anesthetics. Benzocaine, specifically. And it comes in a 7.5% concentration.

The Benefits of Choosing Power Plus Delay Products

For one, the 7.5% benzocaine concentration is a little lower than many of the sprays and creams we've reviewed before. And since some men go pure numb and can't even perform with products containing stronger concentrations (between 8-10%), this could be a benefit for them. The cream can also be found in single-use "pillow packs" for men on the go.

Our "What the...Awww" Moment with Power+ Delay Spray

One of our female researchers (yes, we have females on staff here; we're equal opportunity, folks!) was particularly enamored with the Doc Johnson "cruelty free" icon she saw just below the product description on their website. It is smaller than a postage stamp and features a cute little white bunny with chubby cheeks and adorable little whiskers. The ears are shaped in such a way as to form a pink heart, signifying (we assume) their love for the animal kingdom.

So if you're having trouble avoiding climax, and the Power Plus product you bought isn't quite strong enough, just imagine a cute little bunny staring you down while you're going to town. That should throw you off just enough to get you to the finish line.

The Bottom Line: Will Power Plus Delay Products Put Off PE?

Whether the Power Plus Delay Spray or cream helps you will depend on several things. For one, if you or your partner (or both) are animal lovers, the fact that the company certifies their PE products as Cruelty-Free can be a nice benefit. Additionally, the concentration of benzocaine in Power Plus is lower than most other formulas out there. This could be great if you've tried stronger products that made you too numb to enjoy sex, or gone limp from lack of sensation and been unable to perform.

But if you suspect you need the strongest numbing power money can buy, then Power+ might not be for you. The (few) customer reviews we could find were split 50/50; about half really liked the product, while others claimed it "wasn't for them" but failed to specify why. Compared to similar products, the price is equal to or slightly pricier than most of what's out there, depending on which online vendor you purchase from.

At the end of the day, we're sure that the Doc Johnson Power Plus Delay Spray (or Cream) is a decent product; however, we couldn't help but feel underwhelmed and uninspired to make a purchase. Some of the creams and sprays on our Top Picks list, however, are quite inspiring indeed!
