Just a really quick one - I'm more of a touring escort, so when I'm working, it can get a bit painful after a busy day, as my body just isn't used to that much action.

I've got another busy day lined up, so is paracetamol or ibuprofen best for getting through it? I do all the usual stuff like making sure I use plenty of lube and I try to make sure clients aren't too enthusiastic when using their hands. I don't want to be caught wincing halfway through an appointment later!

Sudocrem or even something with a mild anaesthetic like Lanacane is good for the end of the day if it's really stingy. It's not much help between bookings as you'd be constantly washing it back off again, but you can plaster it on once you've finished and it'll be a lot less painful in the morning .

I know it's a problem but if it's that painful and you need to use pain killers, I would stop and let yourself heal!
You might lose money but being sore opens you up to infection and more serious problems. Causing prolonged stress to your body is not good in the long run.

neurofen plus! (the strongest over the counter pain medication) addictive so short term use only but has gotten me through more than a couple of bad ones!! - just watch the codeine in it doesnt make you sleepy!

For soreness after a long "day in the office", I can recommend Vagisil cream with lidocaine (I think), it numbs the whole area. The info on the leaflet says it's for external use only, but I've applied it inside as well (not very deep, maybe 2-3cm in) and never had any problems. It's a great relief if you're sore, itchy etc.

Just for laughs, when I was new to the "biz", I used to get really sore and one girl told me to try Bonjela - the teething pain gel for babies! It did the job, but burned like hell for the first 20 seconds or so... The stuff that my poor V has to endure, bless

Tampon that has been in the freezer. Sounds daft but feels good!
