I've tried using coconut oil and haven't had a pleasant experience - even up to 3 tablespoons with the injection method. I also really hate the cleanup for oil, so I won't try this again.
Looking for good suggestions for lube for the helix syn trident. I've read you can't use silicone lubes on it so I'm searching for non-silicone suggestions.
I hate cleaning up coconut oil too, and the glide isn't even that great.
I prefer mixing my own lube using Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) powders like XLube or K-Lube. You can even toss in some Hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) for extra body. There's barely any friction, it lasts long, and it works great for just about any kind of play/sex. Plus, you can make as much as you need for a fraction of the price of store-bought lubes. It also works perfectly with lube shooters. I just mix up a batch and keep it in a container—no messing around with tubes.
Try using aloe Vera gel. It’s inexpensive and cleans up easily and also smells great!
I have tried maybe 8-10 lubes over the years, all kinds, and Astroglide gel is the very best honestly. All it takes is a couple drops of water and it gets so super slick you'll be surprised!
@techpump Astroglide Gel is my favorite too!
@techpump The water based one?
@tbex hell to the yeah!! I used to worry, what if the chemicals or whatever is in this stuff harms my rectum or colon, what about cancer risks, why are the companies all like "paraben free" or "whatever under the sun free" and is it really that important?
So I had a colonoscopy 5 years ago and I worried about polyps etc. and although my diet is great and I had no visceral fat at all at the time, it was a worry, my grandpa had colon cancer and he was quite healthy too even in later age upper 70s when it was detected. I had zero polyps or anything my doctor who did the test worried about in fact he told the nurses and me I have "a perfect colon" and I breathed a sigh of relief because they didn't know that I've been using Astroglide gel or doing any kind of anal/prostate play for almost 20 years at that point! I mean unless a doctor is studying this part of your body, you really have no idea what is going on.
So I use Astroglide gel with confidence and joy 🙂 And I recommend it highly to everyone here
My sessions tend to run on the long side. So I also use a lube shooter with a lighter lube (Master Series Jizz lube) to get things primed.
I am waiting for my Stainless Steel prostate plug to arrive soon and I will use Ass-troglide silicone lube for that new device.
Hmm, the product page says Astroglide contains glycerin. I've found that I'm sensitive to it and avoid formulas like that. It probably depends on the concentration. I'm still curious to try AG, but I'm already happy mixing everything myself 😉
@orgasmexplorer Yes for sure, I'm allergic to aloe-based stuff because it is in the birch tree family and latex, which I am really allergic to, is also in that same family. If figs are not ripe enough that white sap that comes out of them, sometimes it makes my lips swell up a little bit or feel irritated.
Astroglide also makes an organic or natural gel that doesn't have the same things their normal gel has. I think they still make it, take a look maybe the ingredients are better for you? I just swear by Astroglide gel because I've been at this art for a few decades now and no other lube compares, and it isn't even toy dependent or material type dependent either. Steel, glass, plastic, silicones of various kinds, rubber, PVC, whatever, the astroglide gel just works perfect on everything.

It dries out pretty quickly, doesn't it? I like Coconut Oil, which for me is good for two hours or so. I have no issue cleaning it up, dish soap and water.
@mistybob you mean does Astroglide gel dry up quickly? No it actually stays wet for a really long time for me. I keep my toys warm and ready by suspending or setting them in a big thermos mug full of hot water. So there's a tiny bit of water, some drops, that winds up mixing with the lube in me and I put a tiny bit I mean one little bead of gel on a toy and it is super super slick. I go through like one tube of Astroglide gel every 6 months or sometimes it lasts longer than that.
