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

    When my friends would use their electric toothbrushes on my sides, ribs, and also on the heels and in the middle of the arches of both of my feet, as well as behind my knees and especially behind my neck, I couldn't stop squirming and laughing.

    Sometimes when my friends and I have sleepovers together, my friend Kerry would go up to my inner thighs, and I can't stop squirming and laughing so much or hold still for one minute, not at all. I was like, Too much tickling, come on, stop, Kerry, and then she went on to say, Oh, are you ticklish there? I really couldn't say anything because I was laughing too much. She even used her electric toothbrush on my armpits, and I really couldn't hold still. I was like, Not there, please, not there. That's my weak spot, and she was like, Oh really, it is? I had no clue.

  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. 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.

  7. Hairbrush

    When my friends would tickle me with their soft hairbrushes on the heels and arches of both of my feet, behind my knees, especially behind my knees, and most definitely on my sides, I wouldn't hold still for one minute. But when my friend Ali would blow air into my ears, I really couldn't stop laughing and squirming so much. I would be like, Come on, stop that. Ali was like, Oh no, are you ticklish there too? I really would be like, Very much.

    Then she went on to tickle me with her soft hairbrush on my inner thighs, and I really couldn't hold still at all. I would be like, Not there, please. Not there, Ali. But Ali said, We are friends, and this is what I do as your friend. I was like, Oh no, and Ali was like, Oh yes.

  8. Paintbrush

    Very enjoyable and very effective for sure. When my friends would be tickling me with their paintbrushes, I couldn't hold still. My friend Ali would be like, Come on, I need your help with a project, and I would be like, Okay, sure. So I would have to lie down on the floor, and then Ali would have her paintbrush cleaned out. She would put it in water, and then she would trace the paintbrush on my belly button and also my lower belly as well, and I really couldn't hold still, not at all. But when she went on to my inner thighs, I really couldn't stop laughing and squirming so much.

    My friend Ali would be like, Thanks for helping me out, and I was like, Of course, Ali. And also, one more thing: that really tickles so much. But she was like, Oh, it did? So she was tickling me more and more with the paintbrush for sure. I really couldn't stop laughing so much and then definitely squealing when she went on my armpits and then on my ears. I was like, Not the ears, get out of there, but Ali and I were in a big laughing heap for sure.

  9. Raspberries

    Super wickedly effective most definitely, and also my friends would be blowing raspberries all over my belly and my sides for sure. Then they would be tickling me on my inner thighs as well, especially when my friends would use their electric toothbrushes on my armpits too, and then on my ribs, belly button, and lower belly as well.

    Also, my former high school boyfriend Jamie would definitely blow raspberries on the back of my neck, and he would be blowing air in my ears too. I really can't hold still, not for one minute, not at all, and then I would be laughing and squirming so much that me and Jamie would be having fun.

    Absolutely effective and very entertaining for sure, especially when my friends would most definitely be blowing raspberries on my sides, my lower belly, and my belly button as well. When my friends would blow raspberries on both of my feet, especially on the heels and the arches as well. Also, when my friends would be tickling me on my inner thighs, I really couldn't hold still, not at all. Also, when my friends would be tickling me behind my knees and on my neck, I really can't stop laughing and squirming so badly. My friends would be like, Oh, are you ticklish there? and I really couldn't stop laughing enough to say anything.

  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

    Wickedly very enjoyable and very entertaining, and also super effective most definitely, especially when my friend Shannon would be tickle-poking me on my sides and ribs for sure. I am like, come on, stop, please, and Shannon was like, oh no, I'm just enjoying this. I was like, well I'm not, while laughing, and Shannon was like, oh no, well I am having fun.

    And then me and Shannon would be play fighting, and then she went on to tickle me on the heel and arch of both of my feet. She continued to tickle-poke me on my inner thighs as well, and I really couldn't hold still, not for one minute. Sometimes she would be tickling me on my lower belly and belly button, and I can't stop from laughing and squirming so much. Shannon would definitely be like, oh, are you ticklish there too? Besides, you are stuck with me. Then she went on to tickle me more and more and tickle-poke me as well.

    I really couldn't stop laughing so much, and I would be like, why are you tickling me? Shannon said, because we are friends, remember that.

  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. Scrubbing Brush

  24. Light Touch

    When my cousins would tickle me with a light touch, it would gradually turn into full tickling, and I really couldn't stop laughing and squirming so much. They would be tickling me behind my knees and especially behind my neck as well. Then they would be tickling me more and more on my sides, my lower belly, and also my belly button. When my cousins would tickle me with a light touch, I really could not hold still, not at all. They think that tickling me with a light touch is very enjoyable.

    Sometimes they will be tickling me on both of my feet, the arches, and also the heels for sure, but I really couldn't stop laughing, and I can't hold still, not at all.

  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!
