Hi all -

I have had a few sessions with my Helix Classic now and I have some questions about lube (which, how much, where, etc,).

So far I've used Astroglide and I am not sure if it is the best choice. I lube up the Helix and also liberally apply to the anal/perineal area. Insertion is fine but it seems like once it is fully inserted, it just stays there - I feel no sliding movement at all. I did squeeze a good amount in through my anus today and it seemed to be better, but then something else went awry - external pain.

Is the P-tab supposed to be lubed or not? The lube was all over my perineum and I think that was a problem. The P-tab was moving so much that it hurt; almost felt like my skin was being pinched.

So, how much lube? Is Astroglide okay?

Does P-tab need to be dry or lubed?

Movement... Am I supposed to repeatedly tense my muscles as if I am trying to hold back a bowel movement or stop urination? This is what I have been doing, but I have not been feeling much.

I have been reading the stickys and other resources on here, but I hope some of you can offer up some specific suggestions.

Many thanks,
Evan

evan_w,

Almost all your questions will be answered if you re-read the Lubrication and the other sections of the Aneros WIKI.
Also please check out the additional instructional links I provided to you in the PM I sent you when you first joined our Forums.
Good Vibes to You !

P-tab should definitely be dry. Does Astroglide contain glycerine? Some guys have a bad reaction to glycerine.

The standard Astroglide does contain glycerine. This is the brand that I discovered my own sensitivity/bad reaction to glycerine when used in the rectum.

Just a small note, there is a glycerine-free astroglide, but I DO NOT recommend it. Maybe its personal preference but it was wayy to watery, smelt like hand-sanitizer, gave an unpleasant sensation, and barely kept the device lubricated for 10 minutes.

I've been using a combination of a coating of Vaseline, plus inserting some coconut oil (in small solid chunks). It might not be the best, but its pretty good, long lasting, and I can obtain both relatively easily and embarrassment free.

I have given up water based lubes for many reasons. My favorite by far is a mix of sweet almond oil and bees wax. I make it up in batches of 140ml add some vit E as a preservative and it lasts for months. It costs almost nothing! I lightly lube the anus and as a prelube insert about 1ml up to my inner sphincter and beyond. I lightly coat the Aneros. It lasts all night and I can reinsert in the morning without a prelube. It might not be the best but it smells nice, weepings very little and does not cause any internal discomfort.
