Hello,
this is a question for the German Members, if there are any :)
Does someone know an online store, in which i can order IcyHot in Germany? I've been googling around, and couldn't find any. I'd would like to experience that sensation (pain?) for myself once :)

In Europe they sell it under the name Ben Gay. Search for muscular rub.

Couldn't find that either ;(
I found some muscular relaxing ointments, but i doubt they would produce the same feeling, and i never heard of them before ... doh.

Well I had the same problem. Unfortunately my solution might not be practical for you - I moved to the UK.
I just checked whether UK vendors like Boots (where I got my Deep Heat - Maximum Strength

) deliver to Germany. Nope. They don't.
Sorry, I remember searching for hours without luck. There was one shop that promised to sell IcyHot in Germany, but they turned out to be a scam.
I know there are alternatives like ABC Wärme Salbe, but I don't know anybody who has really tested those yet. (They use different ingredients.)
You can order IcyHot in a so-called "Internationale Apotheke", but it's pretty expensive. Another option might be to ask your local pharmacist to mix you a creme with 10-20% Methylsalicylate and 8-10% Menthol. Not sure if he will just do it, maybe if you show him
this formula and ask him to make a cream instead of a stick.
(Bengay has 15% Methyls. and 10% Menthol, Deep Heat Max has 30% Methyls. and 8% Menthol.)
It really sucks, someone needs to properly sell this in Germany.
PS: Natürlich haben wir deutsche Mitglieder, Deutschland ist momentan bei unserer Besucherstatistik das drittgrößte Land. Genaugenommen ist die Seite sogar in deutscher Hand, da dark und ich ja beide deutsch sind.

Yeah it does suck
But nice to hear from fellow germans. But you are right, your solution won't work for me
I guess i just have to wait until i'm finished with my study. When i got a decent job afterwards, i can afford that expensive international import.
Thanks for the answer :)

That reminds me of a very natural and cheap, though bold alternative:
Cut and mash up a chili - but be warned. Check out what Jalapeno did to
this guys hands. 18 hours of excruciating pain? Just imagine applying that to the private parts.

But you can tone it down by mixing it with olive oil. (Also, there are many milder variants than Jalapeno.)

Actually..I did this couple times...man!!!..the pain do NOT stop for like 45 minutes.I do not recommend this..but it was great for my endurence.After that(believe it or not)...I'd pick a hot pepper in my hand and get hard right away with anticipation.Some Pavlo training indeed....hahahaha

Best way to get it is to order it inside the usa over the net and let it ship to germany. At least thats the way I got 2 tubes of icy hot myself. But if I think about it right now, I should have bought 2 more tubes of it. Not that I use icy hot that often, but better to have a spare tube if you have one as to wait 2 weeks till it arrives from usa.
Another thing which works is toothpaste. First its very cold and feels great and then it gets painful after a while.

If you are close to an American Air Force base, ask someone to get it for you from the BX. (The Base Exchange).

Hi,
my secret tip: use
Finalgon cream.
Finalgon is a Cream for rheumatism, and it hurts a lot on the right places.
Sry for my Bad English.

Ben Gay, what an odd way of putting it
