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!

Fingers/Fingernails
Oh, the power our fingers have!
Why not use the tools we all have, and hey, it's effective! Twice as much when they've got fingernails! Oh wow, that tickles, and I can only imagine the feeling if a girl tortured me with her fingernails in the tickling way! Fingers work on every spot, just some places fingers have a tough time! There are so many effective methods while using the fingers: soft touch, hard touch, spider tickle, massage, knuckles, really fast, light, all over, and many more! Works great whether they're fully clothed or in the buff!
The worst. My most ticklish spots are my back and my sides. When people tickle me, they always do one or the other.
Until one day, on the bus, I was annoying my friends (as usual), and they tickled me to make me stop (as usual). However, one of my friends put one hand on my left side (my worst) and one hand on my back and started tickling. No one had ever done that to me before, and it tickled worse than anything I'd ever felt in my life!
All my friends now know about this and use it against me all the time!

Electric Toothbrush
From my experience, a friend of mine grabbed my foot, turned on an electric toothbrush, and started ruthlessly tickling my feet with this hellish tickling device.
Since I had tickled him before, he said this was payback for when I dipped red paint into his bellybutton and swirled a paintbrush in his navel. He couldn't move, otherwise he would've made a mess!
After two hours of him brushing each deathly ticklish part of my foot, he decided I'd had enough and told me that if I ever did the paintbrush thing again, I'd be tickled for two hours with two brushes next time!
It doesn't look like I'm tickling him again…
This may seem odd, mainly because of what we originally use them for, but those vibrating, rotating bristles can work ticklish wonders on every spot on the body. Also, this is the most effective way to self-tickle.
Just make sure you don't use that toothbrush for anything else but tickling, or there will be a problem. Feet, armpits, inner thighs, belly, belly button, ribs, behind the knees, toes, butt, genitals, and other places. Do this while their skin is exposed under their clothes and insert the tool through openings in the shirt or pants. They'll go nuts.
It's effective even when fully naked, and then they're all yours.

Feathers
One time, a friend tied me down and brought out two feathers, then started slowly scraping them up and down my super sensitive soles.
I was there for about an hour and laughed harder than I ever have in my entire life!
After I was free, I pinned my friend down and tied him up in the same place. Instead of tickling his soles, I grabbed both feathers and started tickling his bellybutton.
It was about 15 minutes until he overpowered me from laughing so much!
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.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
Hairbrush
Hairbrushes used to be the only way someone could tickle me. I would tell my friends that I wasn't ticklish anywhere, but one day, we were playing truth or dare and my friend asked me if I was ticklish. So, of course, I had to say yes. I told them it was my feet, so they took my foot and started to tickle it. No reaction. They accused me of lying, so I told them that I wasn't. They just had to work out HOW to do it. Eventually, though, I gave it away (I hinted that it was found on a dressing table and hesitated when they said it). And they pinned me down, whipped out a hairbrush, and I just about died. It's completely UNBEARABLE!
One day, I was at my friend Miranda's house. We were lying on her bed when she asked if I was ticklish. Normally I'm a good liar, but not when it came to this. I said no and shook my head rapidly. Miranda said she didn't believe me. She sat on my ankles and grabbed a hairbrush from her nearby nightstand. Miranda began slowly dragging the bristled torture tool up my sole and toes. I giggled helplessly. Then she applied baby oil and scrubbed mercilessly. I writhed and screamed. She applied more baby oil to my sides and belly and scrubbed. It tickled more than I expected.

Paintbrush
My friend loves to paint. Once, I went over to her house while she was painting a picture, although I can't remember what exactly she was painting. I was lying on her couch right next to her. She was running out of red paint for her artwork. She asked me to go to the garage and get her more. As her friend, I of course went to get her the red paint from the garage. When I came back, and once again as her friend, I jokingly made fun of her painting. I then went to lay back on her couch.
At the time, I was wearing a crop top, which exposed most of my belly. I was looking at my phone, so I wasn't paying any attention to her. To get back at me, instead of pouring the paint into a small cup, she took the bottle of red paint and squirted it into my belly button. It was cold and gooey sitting in my navel. As if that wasn't enough, she took her paintbrush and stuck it in my belly button and swirled it all around. It tickled an ungodly amount, and I couldn't stop laughing. It was too perfect for her. She knew my belly button and belly were my weakest spots. I couldn't get up and clean myself up because I would've spilled the paint everywhere. I begged her to get a towel for me, but she wouldn't let up. I never wear anything that shows my belly button around her anymore, painting or not.

Raspberries
I have an older girlfriend who has a pretty dominant instinct. She tickles me to discipline me, and since I told her about my ticklish belly, she always blows raspberries on it. She forces me to let her do it even if the ticklishness from her lips drives me crazy. At home, she takes my shirt and lays it in her handbag so she can get to my belly whenever she wants. She also lets her female friends blow raspberries on my belly while she holds my hands. Luckily for her, it at least turns me on, so I just can't make her stop even if it's torturous.
Every year on my birthday, my mom used to blow raspberries on my tummy, one for each year. She stopped when I was like 7...until I turned 16. She woke me up on my birthday morning, but before I could get out of bed, she sat on top of me, rolled my shirt up, and started blowing raspberries. I was really embarrassed, and the tickles were torturous!

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!

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.

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?
-
Poking
This will usually work.
A few days ago, I was just eating my lunch when my friend poked me. I started giggling, and that got her started on tickling me. Very effective!
This is how everyone found out I was ticklish! I was ignoring my friends so they poked me in the side and I laughed. Ever since then, they always tickle me.
Oh god. I am hypersensitive everywhere, so if you poke my ribs, I will reflexively punch you in the face.
My ribs and my neck are terribly ticklish.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.

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!
-
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.
-
Feather Duster
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.
Maids have teased this method all the time. They don't even know the effect of them using this to clean makes some people feel if they see them using the duster to clean!
Feather dusters are wonderful for tickling the entire body.
-
Light Touch
I can do this to myself, a light touch on my shoulder, and I break out in a fit of giggles. Once I do it, if I try again it feels like I know when I'm going to tickle. Aka, I turn into a ninja!
I love just being lightly tickled. It is torture! If anyone would like to, they can come tie me up, blindfold me, and I will tell them all of my tickle spots.
If you lightly glide your hands over my sides, tummy, feet, and the back of my thighs, then it tickles like crazy!

Scrubbing Brush

Nylons
Nylon fabric increases the ticklishness of already sensitive skin.
They enhance the ticklishness of the body.
-
Love-Bite
I would say a love-bite because if you have a sexy, friendly-looking girlfriend and you wanted to tickle her by gently biting her belly, I would recommend love-biting.
-
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.
-
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!
-
Massage
Today we had this huge tickle war in science! It all started when my friend Jenna was giving my friend Lauren a massage. She ducked away and said it tickled... a lot! So we all broke into this tickle-massage war until the teacher told us to calm down!
Some of my friends aren't ticklish though... how?!?
This is the worst, and so embarrassing! I had a sports massage and spent the entire time trying not to laugh.
When he started on my feet though, I couldn't stand it anymore and burst out laughing. I'm sure he made the massage extra ticklish after that!
