A question for the ages: silicone or water based lub?

[marylander1940]

In the old days where folks used condoms I exclusively used water based, now I prefer silicone lubricant.

I just tried one called "Turn on" and I loved it.

Silicone. Water- based dries out to quickly in my opinion.

Would you like to merge the two threads including the poll?

Oil-based.

I’ve been introduced to coconut oil by a bottom and I’m shocked how much I prefer it.

It's also edible - lickable!

Can "Oil" be added to the poll?

Agree.  

Coconut oil is amazing for jerking off and fucking.

It’s funny.  It was suggested to me and I went to Whole Foods 🥴 and bought it in liquid.   Very messy.  So I got the “solid” and it’s awesome.  So, I’m now using the liquid on my skin after the shower for hydration.   Dogs suddenly won’t leave me alone 🫠

What do we think of the old standby: Vaseline? I’ve also used Aquafor.

Not enough slip on the grip.

Silicone all the way!

Vaseline is awesome, I think it's in the "Oils" category.

Nowadays there's also hybrid lube (water based & silicone lube) for example:

As in “petroleum jelly?”   I”m allergic to petroleum based products and I’m can’t imagine that’s good for a bottom to receive?

My other oldie, but goodie is Albolene.  

Works for solo, works for fucking, warms up and stays put.

Vaseline used to be my go to lube for jacking off, till I discovered silicone based lube. I like the slipperiness of silicone based lube. Water based lube dries out too fast.

I’ve opined a couple times before on similar threads that I like Uber Lube. The pic below shows their (kinda pricey) travel size, which is very neat, clean, and convenient. Zero mess while traveling, TSA sized.

They offer regular sized pump bottles as well.

Terrible, I hate the noise it makes while trying to get some out of it and how little comes out. Besides a glass lube bottle?

Thanks for the link. Although TSA allows up to 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) the travel bottle is very small (about 0.5 oz or 15 millilitres).

Yes, as in "petroleum jelly". My posts are my opinion. Please do not feel obligated to follow my opinion. If you're allergic to petroleum based products, I wouldn't use them. For bottoms that aren't allergic to petroleum based products, I would recommend just a little bit, just enough for the top to slide in. As long as you don't use gallons Vaseline, in my opinion it won't be a problem.

For personal products, I've used flexible (I think silcone) bottles that are cheap on Amazon or at the drug store.   That way, I can still buy personal products in bulk and dispense them into smaller useful containers.   I did that recently on a trip with both coconut and almond oils.   (I prefer "natural"  )

I like these in theory but changing the refills or even just pulling it up to see how much is left is a huge pain with these. The top always pops off which can become messy. Still use it though because it's still better than other travel options.

There are many lubes that cum in 3 OZ (about 89 millilitres) that are TSA sized, for example Trojan lube.
