Best lube - What is the?

[eminatic]

am i missing something here?
all the times i've tried astroglide it didn't feel NEAR slippery enough
yet i keep hearing everywhere that astroglide is the best lube around

If you are in the U.K., go to Boots the Chemist and ask for "Aqueous Cream B.P." - it is not out on the shelves as it is sold as a dermatological cream for relief of dry skin (which it is great for!).

However, it is also widely acknowledged as an excellent lubricant. It is a non-perfumed cream that is non-greasy, absorbs easily but maintains its lubricating quality for some time. It is safe to use internally for the vagina or anus ... and is even good for regular massage.

You can buy it in a tube or pot(tub), but the pot is the best value - a 500g pots costs just a few £s and lasts ages - even when you go crazy with it!

I am going to go against the common grain here really, nothing beats a good silicone based lube and all my partners I have used it with agree.

Water based lubes dont stay slippery long, dont lube that well, and after you feel like you just soaked your genetalia in maple syrup. You feel gross and its very unpleasant.

Oil based lubes need no explanation - its oil based. No thanks.

Tingling lubes I use on some occasions however never on their own. A little dab of the durex tingle along with something else is nice sparsely however if we only use that we tend to get unhappy pretty quick. Same thing if I used anything with spermicide with anyone - always seems to burn both partners unfortuanately.

Silicone based lubes only require a little bit, you still get quite a lot of friction and heat, they will always outlast any other lube, they can be re-activated by just introducing some moisture, and they dont feel gross after.

Cleanup, we dont really worry about- I leave it on me and go about my day just like her. Its not uncomfortable or a problem so who cares? It feels almost like a skin moisturizer when it dries - kinda softens the skin and feels smooth.

Yes its more expensive, but you use so much less its cheaper in the long run.

I very very very strongly recommend velvet made by I.D. - stuff is the best I have found trying dozens of lubes over time. I have tried the regular millenium which is great, but go the extra mile and get the velvet - you will thank me

For hard anal play we use a little china anal balm to numb and some cherry scented stuff just plain labeled "anal lube" which is thicker.
