Weird things that feel nice

I’m currently using ear drops due to an ear infection and I’d forgotten how much I love that feeling when you put them in, then after a few seconds they bubble and trickle down. I love that little tickle in your inner ear.

It got me thinking about other sensory things I like - another one is standing in bare feet on a thick piece of cardboard and feeling the “cells” of the cardboard squish.

Am I the only strange one or has anyone else got other weird but nice sensory feelings?!

Running really hot water over eczema Blush

I do the same with raspberries but I hate the smell of insulin!!

Ah, interesting! So what's your views on writing on banana skin with a biro?? I highly recommend you make that your priority today if you have not done so already!

Thought of another couple -
Rubbing a fresh plump raspberry on my top lip line
Jack Russel dog ear on he same place
The feel of the velvety bit of a golden retrievers lip

Writing on a banana in biro, yes! Sooo satisfying

Chewing a wet flannel.

It was even more satisfying when pregnant.

Beat that weirdness 🤣🤣

Rubbing a brand new scrubby shower sponge, scrubby side, on my tongue and then wetting the sponge and chewing the water out of it! I love chewing shower sponges! Started when I was a kid! I win!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Actually, I also chewed wet dishcloths as a kid as well.
Can you beat that? 🤣🤣

Oh and speaking of hospital I also love being given a general anaesthetic, I absolutely hate coming round from one as it always makes me sick but I love love that feeling of gently floating off into a lovely dreamless sleep. It makes me feel all tingly just thinking about it.

General anesthetic always made me really dizzy as I was going out of it. But love the feeling of falling asleep, I think that's why I have so many naps 🫣

As a few others have said...

Rubbing your eyes really hard when they're itchy.

Writing on a banana with a biro.

Popping bubble wrap.

Though I HATE anything being in my ears! And hate the feeling of eardrops.

ALSO I do enjoy:

Having a tiny bit of very slightly split fingernail, and dragging it along a bit of fabric, so it makes a clicking sound as it catches. (Hard to explain sorry!)

Rubbing the top of my cat's head with my chin.

Popping zits! (Haven't had any for some years though!)

Cutting my toenails.

I have my ears pierced 5 times in each ear, and every 2-3 months I love taking out all the studs, and cleaning off all the crap/dead skin cells/dead soap off them with my fingernail.

Wrapping my hair bobble around my forefinger, 3 or 4 times til it's tight. I enjoy the feeling of the pressure on my finger. Also like a few others, I enjoy someone lying on my whole body. Again, I enjoy the feeling of the pressure.

Pushing my hands right down into a pot of maggots!

I wanna say having a good satisfying poo, but I won't as it's TMI. 😆

I like the feeling of local anaesthetic weirdly
And when you finally get a chin hair that's been bugging you BlushGrin

Another one for taking my bra off.

That’s not weird though is it?

cheapskatemum · 23/04/2024 02:44

I love the satisfaction I get when I peel mushrooms. I do it very neatly by going round the circumference and I make sure every piece of skin is removed. Bonus points when I get an extra large section of skin off with one gentle & careful pull.

MoonWoman69 · 23/04/2024 08:02

@Aramiss No, I defer, you definitely win!!! 🤢🤣

Sucking your thumb when you've got nail varnish on it.
