Which is the biggest best value lube I can buy ?
The store and chemist ones are so small and costly you get nothing much in it.
-
Tesco's own lube which they sell in metro and extra stores. It's £2.50 for 75ml and most importantly, feels very comfortable to use. It's quite thick, unscented and non irritating!
-
Right I'll go pick a few up.
:) thankyou SQ
-
As an addition, it's in a blue wrapper, which is probably meant to minic the durex lube which is also good but more expensive.

I buy bulk packs of Liquid Silk from the Freedoms shop - I think a 3 pack of 250ml bottles is about 25 quid. It works out about the same as the Tesco one above pricewise, but three quarters of a litre lasts a good long while :D
-
I'd also recommend the Freedoms shop, or see if LoveHoney have offers on (they do, frequently).

If you have a savers store near you or a body care store they do durex lube for £1.99 sometimes on offer at a pound a great bargain x

I use Lubido Original Water Based lube from amazon. It's not crazy sticky, glides nicely and because it's water based it's good with condoms. I also find it evaporates quickly enough. For 2 x 250 ml bottles it's less than £10. Mines lasted me months

Hi
I am a more "mature" SW and have to use some lube. So I use baby oil which seems to work fine but i was wondering if there was anything I could use for the inside and also something more natural? :) :)
-
You can't use baby oil as lube as it will degrade condoms and cause them to split :FF
Buy some water-based lube, I prefer KJ Jelly, Liquid Silk or YES. I am also mature, had an early menopause and am now post-menopause). I am on hRT but still need a little help, so use YES water-based vaginial moisturiser from time to time too.

I've experimented with lots of lubes. I find ID glide millennium the best. Its very individual, but if you've enjoyed (unsafe for condoms) baby oil, then this should suit you
-
This sort of ties in with my reply on your other thread...
If you do a search there are other threads on lubes, but yes, there are organic/natural ones available, like Yes. If you find a lot of clients do RO you can buy flavoured ones, but they're more likely to be synthetic/irritating. KY Jelly is medical grade and neutral so a good option, but may not be great if PIV penetration is prolonged. Silicone lubes are smoother/slicker and last longer.
It may also help to use a vaginal moisturiser like Vagisan or Replens overnight.
-
Avoid the flavoured lubes out of Ann Summers. Yucky and sticky.
Some good tips here. Must investigate.
I use coconut oil overnight about once a week.
-
Durex do a Naturals one that’s water based (£9.99 on Love Honey). Flavoured ones always cause issues due to the sugar in them.
Baby oil will break condoms down, so I make sure I type in “lube+ latex safe” or something of that wording.
-
JO organic natural love lube :) very natural stuff to prevent irritation

Baby oil is not good. Unsafe for condoms and too greasy. I always use lube for penetration, without exception. Liquid silk is good, very good for hand jobs, but I find a lot of clients go better with a little bit of friction, so I use KY a lot of the time. I put it in with a syringe, out of sight of the client, and obviously without the needle. A glass one is best if you can get one. Just 2 or 3 ml is usually plenty, a bit more if they are going to take longer. I have a lot of regulars and find I can fine tune how much to use on each one. Lubes I avoid are mainly the silicone ones, just glide, easyglide etc. Spills are hard to clean off, wash out of sheets etc and even the floor. One shot of silicone will last three or four clients, so it has that advantage, but I find they take usually longer to finish.

So would I need to put KY in a plastic tubey syringe thing and push it up my vagina? If I'm reading correct does that last a few clients? Wouldn't it trickle out. Sorry to be abit thick about this!!!

If you want to hide that you're using it, yes. But I don't think there should be any shame in it. I would just add a dab after I've put the condom on.
