Q&A for How to Tickle Yourself

It is more common to be ticklish on your neck and, in some cases, ears. However, very light touches anywhere on your body can produce a tickling sensation.

No, you should not tickle animals. However, you can pet them if they are friendly.

Yes, it is.

Yes, vibrations from various devices can cause ticklish sensations.

You can lightly brush objects like an electric tooth brush, a detangling brush or a feather on your feet. It won't be as intense but you will feel a tickle like sensation.

Ask someone to tickle you everywhere, and whichever place makes you laugh the most, that is your ticklish spot.

I don't think hypnosis in the sense you are referring to is real. If it is real, then I guess it would depend on the type of hypnosis. If it can trick your brain into thinking the item tickling you is not part of you, then there is a possibility.

Tickle your belly button then! Or if you want to make absolutely sure you're not ticklish anywhere else, ask a friend or family member to tickle you all over to check.

Unless you have a feather or brush, you can’t use self-hypnosis, and tickle yourself.

An electric toothbrush should do the trick, or any object that vibrates.

Some suggestions: Brush, feather, gentle sensations from a light touch of the finger, seem like good ways to get the job done.

An electric toothbrush would probably work best, but yes you can. The feather duster may not work as well, though.

When self-tickling, that's not really possible. Unless you have a tickle machine, asking some friends or family would be your best choice.

There are thousands of nerve endings on your feet, so it's normal to feel ticklish. They aren't used to being touched, so when they're tickled, you respond to even the least bit of tickling.

Use something soft, like a feather and draw circles lightly. There is also an exception to the rule that you can't tickle yourself: if your tummy is extremely ticklish, then your body might not trust your touch there so much, leaving your tummy ticklish even to your own tickling.

Just ask, or tickle them first. Be selective about who you tickle. You should probably know them pretty well.
