The Ultimate Aneros Lube (POLL)

Interesting to note that shea butter seems to be leading the pack and, after all the previous threads on this subject, more respondents aren't commenting about it.

To me, shea butter is a no brainer!

Pommie...I agree with you on the Shea Butter,it works great for me and I am the kind off guy if it works good leave it alone.

(I've posted abt this before) After beginning my journey with a combination of A&D (basically Vaseline and lanolin) I've switched mostly to Shea butter put into a 10cc syringe whose tip has been sawed off then made smooth in a gas flame (carefully just enough to round the edges). A few drops or so of olive oil added in. Insert way in. Then il coat the device with a little Shea butter and olive oil and go to town. WWFY. (THE A&D is still a good a cheaper alternative but a bit greasy and has a smell)

Boy Butter H2O. It contains Shea Butter. It's not expensive, lasts and doesn't stain. No weird reactions. I think you could butter your toast with it.

I hate the name.

XilehSo where can u get it. I just want one thing that I can squirt inside and coat the model with.

Slippery Stuff Gel; it's super thick, super slippery, and super long-lasting. And it's anal-safe.

Probably the best water-based lube out there.

I've had great results with Shea Butter and Coconut Oil, both individually and combined. I found a great method for pre-lubing that's worked well for me; I melt a small bowl of Shea Butter/Coconut Oil then use a small syringe to load the liquified substances into a small ice cube tray. The cube shapes are rather not cubes at all - more like bell shaped (round on the top and flat on the bottom). A good shape for insertion. The trays are great because they have rubber bottoms to each cube so you can push them out individually.

Once they're frozen just pop one out and insert one (they're about 2tsp each), apply a decent amount of Petroleum Jelly to the aneros and slide it in.

I buy the Shea Butter from amazon.ca strangely enough. It comes in a sealed package. I can get 1lb for roughly $15 - a much better deal than 1/4 of that amount for double the price at my local natural foods store. Its completely unrefined as well.

Now Foods/Solutions 100% unrefined Shea butter. I've used it for years now in my Aneros adventures and solo dildoing play.

@didymus - You should try 100% unrefined shea butter. It's completely natural and there is no leakage problems as it is like a light grease in viscosity at body temperature.

@mimac - If you don't refrigerate your shea butter, yes it is messy to try and get in you. Keep it good and solid in the refrigerator and it is very easy to scoop out some small chunks with a spoon for immediate insertion and spreading on the device.

@Xileh - I know that Boy Butter is popular in the gay community, and in some of the pegging community for anal lube. A few things you should be aware of though. While it performs well, it's not the healthiest stuff to be putting in your bum. The H2O variant has two parabens, glycerin, food coloring, preservatives, vitamin E, and other chemicals. The regular Boy Butter is a bit better with it using partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, glycerin, and a few other chemicals. Oddly enough, I could not find the ingredients on Boy Butters web site. Very strange and somewhat ominous considering what's in it.

I brought my euph syn to the beach today but forget the lube. I did have "No-Bite-Me" deet free insect repellent. So I thought what the hell, I'm desperate. It's vegetable oil, bees wax, and essential oils. So I tested it with a finger and it didn't sting. I slathered it on the eupho and rode on my stomach listening to alpha binaural beats. Aside from a little extra coolness and warmth, it was a excellent ride.

Kids, don't do this at home 😀 (unless it's a emergency)

BTW the beach is a excellent place to ride.

@newguy8 I generally get it on Amazon; it was under $20 del'vd for a 16 oz pumper.

I use Slippery Stuff Gel as well. Half dried one is the best water based lube for me. The drying is simple. Put some Slippery Stuff into a glass bowl and heat it over very hot water. I usually heat 20 to 30 minutes to be volume 1/2 to 1/3.

@Love_is
Thank you, once again, for spreading the good word about any toy, lube, etc that may be unsafe. Keep fighting the good fight. Knowledge is power, and forewarned is forearmed.

@Pspotsquirter - Thank you. It's really up to each person what they want to use. But it never hurts to give them the knowledge to make a more informed choice.

I've used Silquid Sassy type for the last year now and had great results. It is kind of expensive but doesn't have the chemicals and stuff the other brands do. I had to do a lot of research since I'm chemical sensitive and Sassy fit the list being water-based without the glycerin, parabens or other nasty stuff that some have in them.

I use Sliquid Sassy too...for the same reasons RomWriter describes. I like its thickness and lasts a good 2 hours without the need to relube. Also works great in a lube shooter. Seems like it's the safest of the water based lubes.

Anyone heard of NuruGel from Japan? It goes by the name NuruX in the US I think.
It`s a highly slippery lube that is made for body to body massages, but I don`t know the complete list of ingredients so I`m kind of unsure if it`s safe for anal play.Me and the wife (me, mosly) use it for masturbation/massage and it`s heaven in a bottle.
Insanely slippery.

Edit: About "Shea Butter", could someone post a link to that?
Is it the same as BodyShop sells or is that with some added perfume or something?

I don't have an exact recipe but I use a combination of shea butter, casteroil, and bees wax.I mix up about a pint of this.Heavy on the butter and light on the oil and the wax.

@RomWriter @Jaxsun - Sliquid is a great choice for natural ingredient, glycerin and pararben free water based lube. There are other brands out there that are also natural, it's just that Sliquid seems to be the most well marketed and distributed. Some others I can think of off the top of my head, Yes, and Firefly Organics. But I know there are more than this.

@Andy - Yes, there have been discussions here in this forum before about nurugel. But I don't think it was discussed as a possible anal lube. The main ingredient I've found in it is mostly nuri seaweed which is edible. You see it in those sheets of green seaweed used in sushi rolls. And then some companies opt to add some other ingredients. The way I'd choose to decide if it was safe for anal lube is if it could be safely eaten. I think that would depend on what other ingredients are in yours.

Here is the brand shea butter I use and love:

No, I would not use what is at The Body Shop. Go to your local health food store and look in the skin care aisle, or buy it online. What you are looking for is 100% unrefined shea butter that is pale yellow in color and does not have any other ingredients or scents added to it. This is really important, as there are other brands out there that advertise as being natural like Alaffia brand, which I tried. It is a dark tan to light brown in color, it looks and smells completely different than the Now Foods brand that is pale yellow. It has a strong smell with a chemically tinge to it, where as the Now Foods brand has a very light natural smell. And the two times I tried it for anal lube it burned my insides like you would not believe! I threw it out after that. But what I noticed recently is that my health food store has started carrying another brand of shea butter that has that same color as the Alaffia brand. So out of curiosity I opened the tester to give it a smell, and it has that same strong nasty smell as the Alaffia brand. I can almost guarantee this would not pass the test for safe anal lube. What I think is happening is those brands are using chemical extraction via solvents rather than the traditional methods and falsely labeling it as unrefined and natural. And there is obviously some of the solvent left over in the shea butter. Terribly bad for you no matter how you use it. So be careful with what kind of unrefined shea butter you buy, as not all companies are honest about what they sell.

And here is the official shea butter thread in the forums:

I'll second Love_is's choice of Shea Butter from Now Foods

@Love_is :
I Just ordered these two from Amazon, hope they are fine :-O http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007QS22DM/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item
and

Will check out Nowfoods, though shipment to Norway allways seem to be a probem...


Thanks for your lengthy replyes 🙂

Slippery Stuff Gel, with the Aneros coated with Vaseline

@Andy - Your welcome. Getting Now Foods shea butter into Europe has always been a problem. I think if you read through the official shea butter thread you'll find what some people in Europe bought for shea butter. This is why I mentioned looking for a shea butter that is off white to pale yellow in color. So you can find an alternative to the Now Foods shea butter if you can't get it in your country.

I use a generic drug store version of KY squirted into my rectum and then apply a couple of drops of silicone to my toy

I use Aloecadabra. It's aloe based organic lube.

@HopefulMMOer, I'm not sure any doctor would be able to answer that question since there are probably no studies done of that nature. That being said I think the more natural and untouched by man or machine the lube is the safer it will be.

yeah I consider EVOO, unrefined shea butter, and coconut oil all to be pretty safe, in my opinion.

astroglide and vaseline(added cocoa butter).

I've been using coconut oil exclusively since starting my journey. I may have to try shea butter after seeing this poll, though.
