Lubes Again...

Thanks, Xileh, for the heads-up on a vaginal lube! I probably would not have discovered it without your recommendation. I've been experimenting with various lubes and like silicone a lot, but have laid off for a few days to get in some sessions with the Syn.

And, of the non-silicone lubes I've tried, my current favorite is the Valera Organic Vaginal Lubricant. I've used it with the Syn and MGX two nights in a row with excellent results, and I experienced no irritation or discomfort during use or the following day. In fact, after two overnighters, my butt feels so good and "natural" today, with no lingering stickiness, soreness or other reminders, that I thought I'd pass along my experience. 🙂

As mentioned above, Valera is expensive but "a little dab will do ya." Applying it in bed, in the dark, with my fingers, I got it places it shouldn't go, including the sheets. It looked oily but washed out.

For anyone interested, check Cheaplubes.com (more detailed description) and Amazon.com for the complete list of ingredients. The top two are sunflower seed oil and shea butter.

Valera on the toy, a gel w/o glycerin inside me--works great. I just finished up my Slippery Stuff.

Also, look around for a recipe for homemade lube, made from flax--works great and it's good for you.

Thanks, Dingus; I'll try the combo.

Lube syringes
I'm more concerned about how Aneros and I match up with a given lube rather than how it plays in a lube shooter. Prompt cleaning the shooter with a soapy solution seems to prolong the life of the plunger O-ring.


So, during my journey through various lube preferences, I've received three weeks to a month of use from a syringe shooting vegetable oil, a couple of months shooting melted shea butter and over a year from the "road warrior syringe" that's used for just Slippery-Stuff (gel). I have no experience shooting Mobil-One 5w-20. 😆



I keep my eye open for bargains on B-D 5ml and 10ml slip-tip syringes and buy a batch on ebay or amazon when the price is right -- that should be between 30 and 75 cents apiece in quantities of 20-50. Look for the ones that are sealed but when you get them, clean them as if they were non-sterile. (better than the several bucks one would lay out for the "Company Store" to afix a rectal tip to a B-D syringe.)


Checkout the B-D syringe catalog. The slip-tip configuration (as opposed to Luer-Loc) usually friction fits into an adult enema tip. That makes for a shooter 'resembling' that in the Aneros store catalog. Different slip-tips seem to have various lengths, diameters and tapers. Whenever an old rectal bulb or enema bag dies, I hang onto the tip so have a few and each a different inside diameter from the others.

On rare occasions, a Becton-Dickenson part number, searched on eBay will turn up a good deal.
