Let’s talk premature ejaculation. No need to whisper. If you’ve ever wrapped things up before the previews finished rolling, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. PE is one of the most common male sexual health issues, and while it might feel like a cosmic prank, there are actual solutions out there.

Enter: Hims Clockstopper Delay Spray. It promises to help you last longer in bed with a quick spray and a prayer. But does it actually deliver the goods, or are you better off trusting the fan-favorite Popstar Delay Spray, aka the crowd-pleaser that doesn’t disappoint?

Let’s compare formulas, spray power, awkward partner transfer risks, and that all-important question: which one keeps the party going?

Founded in 2017, Hims positioned itself as the cool kid of men’s health—offering everything from hair loss meds to ED pills. Clockstopper Delay Spray is their foray into the climax control spray category, but lately, they’ve been turning their attention toward prescription meds instead of over-the-counter options.

Popstar Labs? We’re the doctor-developed, no-BS brand that gets right to the point. Our Delay Spray was built to help men last longer in bed without ruining the vibe. No weird smells. No medical-grade taste. Just results.

Category: Male desensitizing spray
Active Ingredient: Lidocaine
Size: 22.5 mL (about 40 uses)
Price: $29
Prescription: Nope. It’s OTC.
How It Works: Lidocaine dulls the sensitivity on your penis, helping you delay ejaculation and improve stamina without fully numbing the experience—at least in theory.

How to Use:

1. Spray 3–4 pumps on the tip and shaft of your penis.

2. Rub it in gently.

3. Wait 5–10 minutes for it to absorb.

4. Optional: wipe off excess so your partner doesn’t get numb lips (unless you’re into that kind of chaos).

According to Hims, you’ll last 2 to 3 times longer with this lidocaine spray. That’s assuming everything goes smoothly—absorption, partner comfort, no numbing overload, and no awkward “wait, what’s that smell?” mid-session.

Reported benefits include:

• Lasting several minutes longer, sometimes even 15+

• Feeling more confident in bed

• Less worry about “going too soon”

• Available without a prescription

But here’s the thing: those benefits aren’t unique. Most lidocaine-based sprays offer similar results. The difference? Some actually feel good to use. Some don’t smell like a hospital. And some—like Popstar Labs Delay Spray—make performance anxiety a thing of the past.

Let’s settle this with a head-to-head comparison, shall we?

Winner: Popstar Labs Delay Spray, no contest. Better control, no funky aftertaste, and the best value for your hard-earned cash.

Hims vs. Roman Swipes

Roman Swipes use benzocaine instead of lidocaine and come in a wipe format. If you love the wet-nap vibe and don’t mind carrying them around, Roman might be your thing.

Verdict: Wipes vs. sprays—your call. But benzocaine doesn’t last as long as lidocaine, so keep that in mind.

Curious about the differences? Search up benzocaine vs lidocaine and you’ll see why lidocaine wins for sustained sexual stamina and delay.

Hims vs. Promescent

Promescent’s spray uses patented absorption technology designed to minimize transfer. It’s sleek, effective, but pricey.

Verdict: Promescent edges out Clockstopper on absorption but can’t beat Popstar’s combo of strength, subtlety, and value.

Generally, yes. But don’t go overboard. This isn’t whipped cream.

Possible Side Effects:

• Temporary numbness (you wanted delay, not disappearance)

• Mild irritation or itching

• Rare allergic reaction to lidocaine

Warnings:

• If you’re allergic to lidocaine, skip it.

• Don’t double up on sprays—less is often more.

• Use caution with condoms and oral sex until it's absorbed fully.

If sprays aren’t your thing, you’ve got options. Behavioral therapy. Kegels. Yoga. Breathwork. Even herbal remedies like ginseng, ashwagandha, or maca.

That said, natural remedies for PE often take time and consistency. If you're trying to last longer tonight—not six months from now—a topical solution like Popstar Delay Spray is your best bet.

Across the board, Hims Clockstopper earns mostly solid reviews:

• 85% say they lasted longer

• 78% felt more confident

• 90% would recommend to a friend

But common complaints include:

• Too much numbing

• Hard to dial in the right dosage

• Smells like cough syrup

• Doesn’t hold up during oral

Compare that to Popstar Delay Spray, which consistently scores 5 stars for giving you control without turning things numb or weird.

• $29 per 22.5 mL bottle (about 40 uses)
• Available on Hims.com
• Ships discreetly
• Subscription pricing available

But before you hit “add to cart,” ask yourself: why settle when Popstar gives you more spray, better sensation, and no medicinal mood-killer?

If you're new to delay sprays and just testing the waters, Hims Clockstopper isn't the worst place to start. But it’s far from the best. Popstar Labs Delay Spray is doctor-developed, discreet, doesn’t smell or taste like antiseptic, and gives you more bang for your buck (literally).

Final Score:
Clockstopper Spray: 3/5 stars
Popstar Delay Spray: 5/5 stars, always leaving you satisfied
