Recommendation needed for lube

[hwic04]

What brand do you recommend and why?  Is a spray bottle the easiest container to use? Other comments are welcome. Thanks.

All I’d say is get one where the top doesn’t open unexpectedly in your bag 😱

I should have mentioned that I’m a top. I’m looking to see what others find preferable.

Pjur is usually my go-to - various types but the original works best for me. Comes in a squeeze bottle.

As a bottom I like Swiss Silicone. It comes in a pump bottle which is a bit of a pain in luggage so I wrap it in a facecloth in case of some minor leakage. Some say silicone lubes stain bed linen so I place a towel down on the bed. Even for incalls where I will bring one with me.

A spray bottle for lube?

Jesus... How many body parts you trying to slick down at a time?

Pam could work.

Years ago one of Vegas’ best known and well reviewed escorts brought some spray lube with him. He is likes to bottom and told me when he has an appointment with a top like me, he always brings it along. We both thought it was great. I wish I could remember the brand name.

Thanks very much for the four serious replies above. I really appreciate it.

J Lube (American), K Lube (UK), X Lube (German). They are all polyethylene oxide (PEO) . X Lube is 100% PEO, J Lube is 25%, and K Lube claims the PEO to be a high percentage, but the exact makeup is a trade secret. 

They are powders that you mix with water. Obviously, they are water based. They are very viscous, and I like that I can control the thickness relavent to the activity at hand 😉.  Because they are powders, they are a dream to pack and travel with. They are also economical, so throwing a mixed bottle away won't break the bank, and if you find yourself having to slick down a whole mess of body parts, that won't break the bank either. 

J Lube was originally developed and sold as a veterinary lubricant, so if you end up in a lube emergency, or you are leary of online fakes, a quick shopping trip to the local farm and barn will put you straight again 😉.

Wet platinum has been my go to forever.

My skin and mucous membranes are overly sensitive and I've found that all standard brands end up irritating in some form or another. 

I've been using 99% Aloe Vera gel. Just the Aloe Vera gel with a smidge of preservatives (which are always needed, since otherwise the lube develops yeast and bacteria) with no perfumes or anything else added. To me it's the best of both worlds of water and silicone: it's slick and lasts longer like silicone, but washes off easily like water based. 

I usually carry it in an unmarked bottle (I buy a big container and transfer it) and have had guys commenting on how they liked the lube and asked me where I got it, or if I made it myself. 

I used to also make my own lube from golden flaxseed which is absolutely top tier, but a hassle to store and there is a bit of a (not unpleasant) smell.

I’m a Pjur original man. 

Nonetheless, if the bottom wants a different lube I’m happy to accommodate.
As I see it, it really is more for him than me

As a Top I’m not a big fan of water-based lubes.
I just feel like I’m fucking the old wet swimming hole down by the creek.
Fun, but not great.

As a bottom, I'm very partial to Hello Cake products. For anal, I love the Tush Cush brand, which is a mix of water-based and silicone. It's very creamy so it doesn't feel slick like water based lubes. It helps me relax and open up more easily. Though we do use Uber lube and Swiss Army as well for jerking off, and I'll use Swiss Army with a lube launcher if I'm with someone who is very hung.

There’s a previous thread about lubes. Lots of good info, including discussing Uberlube which I’ve tried as a top and like it. Easy to cleanup, I think it’s kinda a hybrid water/silicone.

Pjur silicone all the way

My last vacation I brought Astroglide X Premium, thought it worked well.  I did transfer it into one of my carry on containers....which was made of silicone.  Hah, that container ended up looking funky and the lid no longer fits.  Oops.

I second uberlube!!

The factors for me to choose a lubricant are portability, price and ease of use. People laughed with/at the ones that open in the bag, but that is in fact and issue to consider. Of course, I highly recommend to use water-based lube designed and manufactured for that purpose, except for Crisco for fisting.

I carry my lube (and other accessories)  in Ziploc bags when I travel. Sometimes doubled, i.e. lube in small bag, massage lotions in small bag, both into a big 1 gallon Ziploc.

Still messy *inside* the bag if an accident happens but my luggage/stuff stays out of it.

Or maybe use a zip lock bag.

Last night I invited over an escort with the largest penis I've ever taken.  I let him know I only had water based lube in case he has different lube he preferred to use.  While we were fucking, he told me that my ass just swallowed his gigantic cock with only pre-cum and spit as lube.  Mind you, he had a lot of pre-cum.  But when your body wants something, it wants it!

Love this one originally from Australia - but way expensive

I do that now!! Plus I decant the lube I buy into smaller secure bottles and then keep all the stuff that might leak (masssge oil, toy cleaner) in ziplock bags. 

If I’m bottoming then I don’t mind what lube he uses. If I’m top then I prefer silicon based lube (or cum of course …that’s best!). I’m cut so I also prefer to use a little lubricant when wanking.

Is that what the driver uses to get the "tip" out of you at your destination? 🥰

I second this as a bottom! Switched from water based lube to this and it really fares better on my hole. Like many others, I'm afraid of messes so ziplocking lube during travel is a must. At home, fleece or large microfiber cloths seem to protect my sheets better than regular towels, which are more porous and prone to seepthroughs.
