Top 10 Tickling Tools and Methods

Let's just say I've got a confession/fetish to tell my fellow friends and TopTenners about, and I guess the best way to say it is... You know what? Screw it, I have a love for tickling! There, I said it!

My story is way too long for this, but trust me, it's crazy! My main reason for making this list was to share one of my biggest secrets because I can! And before you say really loving tickling is weird, there are much stranger interests out there than tickling! Tickling is one of my hidden passions and desires!

Though I'm tickle-deprived, why not share some of the knowledge I have in this topic for a good time? Go ahead and remix this list and make your own version if you disagree with the order!

The Top Ten
  1. Fingers/Fingernails

    Very enjoyable, very entertaining, and most definitely super effective. When my friends would be tickling me on my sides and ribs and also on both of my feet, the middle of the arches, and also the heels, I really couldn't hold still, not at all. Shannon would have pretty long nails, and she would use them on my belly button. I turned into a big wiggle worm for sure, and I would be like, No, not the belly button. No, not there, please don't. And Shannon would be like, Oh yes, the belly button. Come on, hold still, hold still, and I went on like, But I really can't.

    But Shannon didn't listen to me, and she said, Then I need to tickle you more, then, with help. But then I was like, Oh no, please not that. So Kerry would join in, and both of them would be tickling me behind the knees and especially behind the neck. Then they would be tickling me on my lower belly as well. They most definitely would be tickling me on my armpits too. And also, we would have a major laughing fit for sure, especially when they would be tickling me on my inner thighs.

  2. Electric Toothbrush

    Wickedly effective, most definitely. When my friends Ali and Hannah would be using their own electric toothbrushes on my sides, lower belly, belly button, armpits, ribs, behind my neck, behind my knees, and especially on both of my feet, including in the middle of the arches as well as the heels, and even on the top of my feet, I really could not stop squirming and laughing so much. And I was like, come on, stop, not there, not there, please, why are you tickling me? My friends were like, because we are your friends, and also it is very enjoyable too. I was like, this is not funny, and they were like, oh, but we think it is.

    But when my friends would be tickling me on my sides and even on my butt, I really couldn't hold still, not at all. Also, I really wouldn't stop laughing so much that my friends would be like, oh, are you ticklish there too? But I really couldn't stop laughing. Then my friends would say, oh, it looks like you are very ticklish there.

    My friends and I would love to have slumber parties and sleepovers together, and sometimes even tickle wrestling as well. We will always have a lot of fun together for sure.

  3. Feathers

    Feathers are very effective tools for sure because I should know. My friends would tickle me with all kinds of feathers, and I was like, Oh no, not there. Sometimes my friends would use feathers and feather dusters most definitely, and I really couldn't stop laughing and squirming so much. My friends found it amusing for sure. I would be like, This isn't funny, and they would be like, But why are you laughing? Most of the time, they would use feathers on my armpits too, but I was like, Please, not there. Please stop tickling. They're like, But we are friends, remember.

    My friend didn't seem to have ticklish feet, but feathers eventually broke him. First, I tickled his socked feet. No reaction. Then I took his socks off and tickled, and all I got out of him was a smile. I then challenged him to last 5 minutes while tied up. I tied his knees, ankles, and big toes together. Then, I used a feather. He chuckled lightly on the heels and arches, giggled on the soles (he has soft feet for a boy). But then came his toes. When I tickled under them, he laughed and curled his toes. When I tickled between his toes with the feather, he laughed hard and curled, wiggled, flexed, and spread his toes as he laughed hysterically. Sometimes now, when he is barefoot, I tickle his toes.

  4. Tied up & Blindfolded

    I have a cousin a year older than me. We don't really annoy each other on purpose, but one day I told his crush that he liked her. When my cousin found out, he got two of his friends (which I was also friends with), and they tied me up and blindfolded me. My cousin tickled my armpits (my most ticklish place), his friend tickled my feet, and his other friend (which I had a crush on) blew raspberries on my belly button. It was kind of embarrassing when I peed my pants, but they all felt bad for me and apologized. Now, my cousin's friend that I had a crush on and I are married, and he tickles me all the time, but I enjoy it. I like being tickled.

    I was looking after my little cousin one day. It was really hot, and I wanted to go to the pool. So, I changed into a bikini and went to tell him. But instead, he wanted to play a quick game of cops and robbers. So after 10 minutes of playing, I was caught and sent to be interrogated. When I didn't tell him anything, he tied me to the bed with my arms stretched out and blindfolded me while I was still in my bikini. He then started tickling everywhere he could find that showed skin. I laughed so hard that day. Now, when I go to watch him, he always tickles me.

  5. Baby Oil

    Something so unique and simple, but is a very popular tool not just for making skin smooth. This stuff actually enhances sensitivity, so if you were already super ticklish, then oh wow, you're gonna have fun! This stuff, when applied a lot, not only makes the skin super smooth and shiny but also slippery for your fingers to roam!

    My girlfriend started rubbing baby oil on my feet after she tied me up to the bed. It tickled so much!

    I tickled my 11-year-old son using baby oil. I rubbed it on his feet and tickled under the toes.

  6. Hairbrush

    Wickedly too effective, for sure, most definitely, especially when my friends Kerry and Ali would be using their hairbrushes on my belly button, my lower belly, and even my bottom. Also, they would be using their own electric toothbrushes, for sure, on my sides and ribs and behind my neck. Then they were like, Oh, are you ticklish there? I really couldn't stop from laughing and squirming so much that I couldn't hold still, not at all. I'm like, Come on, not there, not there. This is not funny. But my friends would be like, But it is for us, most definitely, and it's very entertaining as well. I was like, Why are you tickling me? My friends would be like, Because we're your friends, remember, and also this is what we do as your friends.

    Sometimes my crazy friends would always be blowing air in my ears as well, but I couldn't hold still, for sure, most definitely. Then they were like, Oh, are you ticklish on your ears now? And then I would be like, Not there, not there. Get out of my ears. But then my friends were like, It looks like you are ticklish in your ears, for sure. I really couldn't stop from laughing so much.

    Sometimes my friends would be using their own soft hairbrushes on my armpits, and then they would be using feathers in between my toes as well. But I really couldn't stop from squirming and laughing so much that my friends were like, Oh, are you ticklish there too? Sometimes they would even be using their nails on the top of both of my feet, and I really couldn't stop from laughing like a big hyena, most definitely. Ali said, It looks like you are very ticklish on the top of both feet, and I really couldn't stop from laughing too much. Then Kerry said, It looks like she is very ticklish there. Should we tickle the heel and the arch? And Ali was like, Most definitely. I was like, Come on, stop. Not there, not there, please don't. Why do you love tickling me so much? And then they were like, Because we are your friends, and this is what we do... read more

  7. Tongue (Licking)

    I was over at my friend's house just hanging out. I was wearing a crop top and lying down on the floor on my phone, and my friend was eating a peanut butter sandwich. Apparently, my entire belly was exposed, and I didn't notice, so my friend had smeared peanut butter all over my belly and belly button and played it off as if he dropped peanut butter. Instead of wiping it up with a paper towel, he began to lick my belly and belly button. I was laughing so hard, especially when he started licking my belly button.

    Licking is an odd way of tickling, but it works. I just figured it out as I was hanging out with my friends (we are all girls), and I stretched a little since I was tired. Apparently, it exposed some of my belly, and my friends had the bright idea of tickling me. They pinned me on the ground while they licked my belly and belly button. I was laughing like crazy.

  8. Paintbrush

    I remember that my friends Ali and Hannah would have an art project for homework, and they needed my help with it. I said okay, fine, so we went over to Ali's place and worked on the art project. But instead of doing homework, they were distracted by my ticklish feet, so my friends got their paintbrushes out and started tickling me in the middle of the arches, on the top of both of my feet, and also on the heels with the paintbrushes, for sure. I really couldn't stop from laughing and squirming so much that my friends were like, Oh, are you ticklish on the top of both of your feet now? But I really couldn't stop from laughing so much that my friends were like, Oh, it looks like you are.

    Sometimes they would be tickling me on my belly button and also on my lower belly too. Then they would be tickling me behind my neck as well, especially when they were using their electric toothbrushes, for sure. Also, when my friends would be tickling me with their paintbrushes on my sides, ribs, and also on my armpits as well, I really couldn't hold still, not at all. I was like, Not there, not there, please, not there. Come on, quit it. Uncool, really uncool.

    Then they would go down to my inner thighs and my rear end, and I really couldn't stop from squirming and laughing so much that my friends were like, Oh, are you ticklish on your bottom now? When I really couldn't stop from laughing so much, my friends were like, Oh, it looks like you are very ticklish there. Soon, my friends and I were in a big laughing heap, for sure, most definitely.

  9. Raspberries

    So very entertaining and very enjoyable, especially when my friends Hannah and Ashley would be tickling me and also blowing raspberries on my sides, ribs, and lower belly as well. Also, they would even blow raspberries on both of my feet, including the heels, the middle of the arches, and the top of both of my feet as well. I really couldn't stop from laughing and squirming so much that my friends would be like, Oh, are you ticklish on top of both of your feet as well? I was like, Not there, please, on the top of my feet. Come on, stop. Not there, not there. My friends were like, Oh, it looks like we have found a new weak tickle spot for sure.

    Sometimes they would be blowing more raspberries on my belly button, for sure. I was like, Not there, not there. Get off my belly, please. And my friends would be like, Oh, are you ticklish there too? But I really couldn't stop from laughing so much that my friends were like, It looks like you are very ticklish there too.

  10. Hair

    My girlfriend has really long blonde hair and is obsessed with tickling! She'll tickle me everywhere with her fingers, then she'll go to raspberries. When she does it, her hair goes all over and tickles like crazy! She likes to use her hair like a brush or just drag it up and down my body.

    This is quite funny actually, that you can use your own hair to tickle someone! This can work either way because men have their facial hair and women have their long smooth hair, so both are very effective!

    Yes, my friends at school have this obsession with stroking their hair on their faces, and I'm just sat there like, How the hell are you not cringing and laughing right now?

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    Self Tickling

    It's hit or miss with this stuff, as it won't work on everyone or for very long since there's less mystery about where it's coming from.

    But for some, it does work, and I wish it did more for me.

  13. ?

    Showering

  14. The Contenders
  15. An Animal

    Once, I got out of the pool in my bikini and was sunbathing when a few potato bugs crawled onto my tummy. I didn't want to hurt them, so I just lay there laughing. My cousins caught on and found a bunch of bugs (potato bugs, ladybugs, ants, and harmless spiders) and dropped them all onto my belly. I wasn't expecting over 50 bugs on me. It tickled so much!

    My cousins recorded it and sent it to my friends. Then, three of my friends came over, helped gather more bugs (worms, to be exact), and put them on my feet, belly, armpits, knees, and neck. It tickled so much!

    The next day, I called them all over, made them lie down in their bikinis after the pool, and, with the help of another friend, gathered a bunch of bugs. We tied them up and dropped at least 20 to 40 bugs on each of them!

  16. Poking

    When my friends Kerry and Shannon and I would have a sleepover together, sometimes they would definitely have me tied up on the couch and would also definitely be poking me, for sure, but on my sides. Then they would be tickling, poking, and also blowing air in my ears. I really couldn't hold still while laughing and squirming so much. Then they would be like, Oh, are you ticklish there too?

    Sometimes we would enjoy tickling wrestling as well. I would be like, Come on, stop, not there, not there. This is not funny, but then my friends would be like, Then why are you laughing so much? Soon we would be in a big pillow fight while being in a huge laughing heap, for sure, most definitely.

  17. Your Own Toes

    Truly the best way to be tickled. My cousin and girlfriend do this to me all the time. My cousin would sit on me and use her toes to tickle me so much. Her toes wiggled so fast. My girlfriend tickles me, but when I pull her away, she puts her toes on me. I laugh, and she pushes me away, still using her toes to tickle me for a long time.

    This happens to be very effective when using your toes to tickle someone (works wonders in a tickle fight). This works in many places, but underarms and ribs are the best!

    Play airplane, lift the person with your feet. Once they are up on your feet, wiggle your toes on their tummy.

    Really ticklish, my dad tickled me like this with his toes.

  18. Kissing

    Basically, every fanfiction that I wrote having to do with tickling has one scene or another where the tickler (usually a male anime character) kisses his victim's (usually a female anime character) feet. I wish I had a boyfriend that would worship my feet!

    My girlfriend loves to kiss my belly and if I don't let her she would start pinning me down and licking and kissing my belly.

    I kiss and tickle my girlfriend's belly all the time. It feels so nice!

  19. Pencil/Pen

    At school, my friends always draw all over themselves. I never did. When asked why, I said it felt really wrong and kinda hurt, that I couldn't draw, or that the inks could be toxic.

    When I was hanging at my friend's house with one other friend, they drew all over each other. They're both great artists. Riley went to come do me on my arm, and I refused. Meg tried to do it by force, and managed to pin me down. Riley started drawing on my hand. I started laughing and squirming. They laughed and kept going.

    Now they do it like all the time in class. So annoying, so agonizing, but so much fun!

    One time my friend was drawing a picture and she was running out of paper and decided I was the next best thing. I was wearing a sports bra so basically all of my belly was visible. He took his pencil and started writing lines all over my belly and it tickled like crazy. The worst part was when he stuck the pencil in my belly button and swirled it everywhere, which tickled so much I was just dying of laughter.

  20. Electric Massager

    See, this is why I sleep on a bunk bed!

    I heard my dad getting baby oil, my electric toothbrush (which my grandpa gave me), and his phone. Then, he came into my room. I was awake, but I told him I was trying to sleep. He tried to reach my ticklish spots, like my feet, belly, and neck, but I was too high up.

    Then, he saw one of my feet, got a rope, and tied it to the wooden frame. He threw his phone up, turned on the electric toothbrush, and started tickling me. To this day, I still keep my legs tucked in and my door shut when I sleep so I can hear if someone comes in. I even have fifty alarm clocks as a defense!

    One time, I was playing LEGO Worlds, and my dad threw his phone alarm at me, held me down, and tied it to my feet. I was laughing so hard that I fell out of my chair! I have another story, but that is for another category. So, don't keep your door open or stay off guard! It was torture, but I loved it!

    Unless you're okay with being tortured by a phone alarm, be careful, because I am not!

  21. Vibrations

    Sometimes I forget that I put my mobile phone on vibrate and freak out whenever someone texts or calls me (my blazer pocket is right over my sides, and that is my most sensitive spot ever)!

    I haven't heard much about it, but from the tickling videos I've seen, there is this device called the Magic Wand. Apparently, outside of the feeling of pleasure, sometimes it tickles a woman good like a regular tickle tool!

    Sometimes my friend Cambree would use her voice next to my sides and it would tickle insanely. I would have to keep it in because I would be in school.

  22. Feather Duster

    Sometimes my friends would use their feather duster, and I really couldn't stop laughing and squirming. Sometimes they would tickle me on my belly and belly button, and I really couldn't hold still at all. Sometimes they would use their feather duster on my armpits too, and I really couldn't stop myself from laughing and squealing, Not there, not there! My friends would be like, Oh, really? Are you ticklish there? and I was like, Oh dear.

    One time, I made my friend clean with a feather duster while I sat on the couch with my feet up. What did they do? They came up to me sneakily and held my foot in a lock because the only thing I do when I get tickled is I weaken and I laugh. So, they tickle tortured me for a half-hour with it.

  23. Light Touch

    Super wickedly effective, most definitely, especially on the tops of my feet for sure. I really couldn't hold still, not at all, not for one minute. My friends Erica and Hannah, while we were having a sleepover together, would tickle me on the tops of both feet, and I really couldn't stop squirming and laughing so much. My friends would be like, Oh, are you ticklish there? And then I said, Come on, stop, not there, please, this isn't funny. But my own friends Erica and Hannah were like, Oh, did we find a weak tickle spot? I really could not stop laughing so much, and then they said, It looks like you are ticklish on the tops of your feet for sure. But when my friends would be tickling my heels and also the middle of my arches as well, I really couldn't stop laughing and squealing so much. I was like, Not there, not there, come on, knock it off. My friends were like, Oh, no way, no way, we are most definitely enjoying ourselves for sure. And I was thinking, Oh dear.

  24. Scrubbing Brush

  25. Love-Bite

    Love bites are very romantic, sweet, and enjoyable between a boyfriend and girlfriend, most definitely. My former high school boyfriend, Jamie Magnifico, would tickle me by love-biting my toes, and I really couldn't hold still for even one minute. Sometimes, Jamie would blow raspberries on my sides, lower belly, ribs, and belly button.

    Sometimes, Jamie would tickle me all over, but when he got closer to my inner thighs, I really couldn't stop squirming and laughing. He would love-bite the heels and arches of both of my feet, and I really could not hold still at all because I am too ticklish there.

    Sometimes, Jamie would get closer to my armpits, and I really wouldn't stop squealing and laughing. I would be like, Please, not there. Please, Jamie, please, not there, and Jamie would be like, Oh, come on, let me have some fun. I am your boyfriend, remember? I was like, I know, and he's like, Well, I love you. While laughing because he was still tickling me, I said, Okay, fine. I love you too.

  26. Nylons

    Nylon fabric increases the ticklishness of already sensitive skin.

    They enhance the ticklishness of the body.

  27. Massage

    Whenever my former high school boyfriend Jamie would offer a foot massage, I would be like, oh sure, I would love that very much. So, Jamie would be like, come on, lie down. I had to lie down on the floor, and he would be massaging my feet, but the next moment, I really couldn't hold still. Jamie was like, oh, are you ticklish there too? I was like, very ticklish. Then Jamie said, so, you wouldn't mind me tickling your feet? I would be like, oh no, not there, please don't, but Jamie went on to tickle both of my feet. I was like, come on, stop. I said don't, Jamie.

    I really couldn't hold still, not at all, and then I was laughing and squirming so much. Also, he was tickling me all over, including my armpits, inner thighs, behind the knees, and behind my neck too. Me and Jamie would be having fun most definitely.

  28. Ice Cubes

    It was a hot day, so I got a few ice cubes from the fridge. I then took off my shirt and placed the ice cubes on my ribs and stomach. They started to glide around and this tickled me a lot.

    Cold! But glide it across the skin and certain areas will make them giggle!

    It works. Try putting skinny cylinder ice cubes between their toes.

  29. Pinwheel

    I made this tool where feathers are on the pinwheels. I put them on two tables where I'm in between them. Two fans blow them and keep my arms up. It's a fun little tickle machine. I also adjust them so that they can tickle my feet and belly.

    There are many different versions, but each one I've seen works!
