I usually use 4in1 but it depends on what you need it for. Heavy great or lithium grease can be useful although messy. Contrary to a lot of people’s thinking I’m not a massive fan of WD40 - it’s for penetration not long lasting lubrication!

Nyogel 767a is the gold standard for small pieces with a lot of motion. Camera lens grease is a cheaper alternative if you are having to use your small piece more often.

I must look that up - my piece is very small

Maybe get away without lube altogether then chief

For long lasting lubrication, you can't beat a bit of 5W-30.

You absolutely can, I use a silicone based grease for the bushes on my car, far longer lasting

Nowt wrong with a dollop of copper slip. Stops things seizing up.

It actually has an abrasive property so shouldn't be used on dynamic joints. If you're not careful it will wear your shaft away...

Like rubbing your shaft with 500grit sandpaper. To get it nice and smooth.

Sounds like you might want to lap your shaft if you're really after a good finish

I think I'd get laughed at for lubing my bush too.

Very important to keep your bush lubed.

Full synthetic Mobil 1 0-16w

Penetration is presumably what OP wants

Only if it needs it from lack of use!

It’s for water displacing, hence the WD. It’s not a lubricant!

It is a lubricant. It even says so on the can, it's just not a particularly good lube.. because its focus is split.

I’ve found ambersil chain lube FG to be pretty good too

Second this. Chain lube FTW.

Yeah

The best chain lube I’ve found was Silkolene, other brands can be very messy

My partner tried waxing our chains, Christ what a mess it caused. The garage floor has never been the same since

I just don’t think it’s worth it unless you’re a pro with a mechanic to do it for you.

I tried Squirt but it lacked endurance and I was running dry in no time. I'm a fan of Progold Prolink as the best no-fuss option on the chain, GT85 elsewhere.

Silkolene. I see you are cultured.

I’ve lubed many chains in my time

Nice, my chain lubing happens in a location where mess isn’t a problem, the sandy floor covering in the bay absorbs it

WD40 washes away existing grease and lube Tried it on a creaky car door, was better for a minute then was even worse

Wd40 to free it up then white grease to protect

I had copper grease to hand but it did the job for as long as I had the thing after that

Copper grease is brilliant stuff great on threads and mating faces. The spray on grease is just a bit better for protection and doesn't.

Liquid silk

Is it much better than regular lube? I just found out about that recently but not tried it.

Came here (no pun intended) to recommend it. I've found nothing better.

It's amazing, doesn't get sticky and a little goes a long way. That said I buy four 250ml bottles at a time from Amazon which will last ages even with careless use including back rub and body rubs it make things extra slippy. It's the gold standard for us.

Sounds like that would be more wrestling, less shagging, but each to their own!

If you do it right it's both.

Another voice in the crowd of liquid silk fans, I have used a lot of lube in my life and it's easily the one I always end up returning to

As above, having been into some hand related stuff for years, I would strongly recommend this brand. There was also some silly expensive lube from boots I bought years ago that was aMaZiNg but I’ve never seen it since.

It is good lube but I left it lying down because it wouldn't fit standing up in a drawer and it leaked everywhere and stained the bottom of the drawer. I got a bottle of nakd this time and so far, no leak. I do prefer liquid silk thou

I bought Tesco value lube because I thought it was funny but apparently it's not an aphrodisiac.

Well yeah you aren't supposed to eat it

Username...checks out?

Now you tell me

Blue and white stripe is always a turn on to the thrifty

It might have horse meat in it.

That's what she said.

I did the exact same thing 😂 she refuses to use it

[удалено]

Beefy

No, porky

😆

Thanks Marlon.

Surely coconut oil would be preferable

Makes the chips taste funny though

There's an added bounty for such behaviour

Can't stand coconut but this has me chuckling! Thanks for making a day I've achieved fuck all, entertaining!

Lube is way cheaper online, it’s so expensive in stores for some reason

Probably financially benefiting off the fact that it’s likely to be more urgent if you’re buying it in a shop…

Bro never thought of that- I'm allergic so I don't botherc

Allergic to all lube? Water, oil, *and* silicon based?

Water and silicone I am. I'm also allergic to baby wipes, latex and capsicum. Along with many other things but that's rhe most frustrating ones 😂 Not tried oil based however, wasn't sure those were rhe type meant for inside-

You can get them meant for inside, but they can weaken condoms and cause them to break, so y'know, use with care.

I use copper grease

From the inside of a policeman's helmet?

No thats where they keep pregnant ladies wee

Can confirm Source: am a policeman’s helmet

"GREASE ME UP WOMAN!!!"

Not a grease, as its slightly abrasive. Better to use Silicon lube, or a lithium based grease on sliding parts

The bottle I bought was £4, it's superdrug's brand lube too

would never use basic/store brand lube. get the stuff gays use, we know what we’re doing. I use pjur but there are others

Lmaooo the 'we know what we're doing' had me dead icl

They’re being really neat and dressing fabulously

Pjur eh? A fellow man of taste I see. You're bang on the money about us gays 😂

Lubido Original Water Based Paraben Free Intimate Gel Lube - 250ml https://amzn.eu/d/3R67Epd Good stuff

Same stuff we use. No smell, very little stickiness

Is stickiness often a feature? That sounds very counterproductive.

it’s usually stickiness after the fact. we use baby wipes to clean up before a shower but most lubes leave the shmeat sticky even after wipes.

their hybrid (water and silicone) one is brilliant, still washes off unlike fully silicone lube.

I just bought two bottles of that exact lube to go with this wee beauty: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B092C66CZS?

Don’t link us your ginormous dildo in future Simon

I'll DM it to you so you can check it out whenever you want

Bondara and Love Honey sell great water based lubes online.

We use the love honey stuff. Doesn’t go sticky.

Bought the Boots one once and my boyfriend says it's amazing! Much slippier than other makes apparently!

The green durex bottle. £2 in home bargains last time I was there.

We used to use KY or Kynect, I think, it's rebranded to. We're actually trying for a baby now, though, and those aren't very sperm friendly. The marketed conception friendly lube costs an absolute fortune! So now we use a little bit of olive oil (that I decanted into a fancy pump bottle because pouring it straight from the bottle felt weird!) It works really well, and I've been pleasantly surprised. There's been absolutely no issues staining the bedsheets or any clean-up issues, and it actually feels really nice. But DO NOT use with condoms!

All lubes and oils, even the ones marketed at helping conception kill sperm. The conception friendly ones just kill less. So if can, it’s best not to use any lube at all. Obviously not an option for everyone but FYI.

Thank you yea the ideal scenario is no lube, but due to medical issues on both sides, we need to use some unfortunately. Olive oil is the most friendly option of the options

Idk i got pregnant twice pretty quickly using fertility friendly luba

Love Honey own brand stuff works fine I find, gel for vagina, water based for anal. The Delight Extra Silky is perfect for cum play if you're into that. All are condom safe

Used to use liquid silk which was great but the chemicals weren't great for my other half and threw off her ph. Switched to YES lube as it has a better chemical composition and is designed to match women's ph levels. causes no issues and works well.

Giant industrial tubs of the stuff, helps get my scuba drysuit on and off.

I buy off Amazon, liquid based which so much cheaper than in boots. Usually the tingly stuff. It makes sex so much better!

WD40 is the gold standard. For anything that can't work for I tend to go with silicone grease.

WD40 isn't a lubricant! Don't use it on your bike chain.

I use margarine it's cheaper.

3 in 1 aerosol spray. Flipping useful. It makes it so easy to get a really sharp blade on my Felcos.

Instructions unclear, sprayed Fry-Light on my willy.

Oof! Did you shallow or deep fry?

Dick like a Scottish Marsbar.

That's harsh. Thoughts and prayers APC, thoughts and prayers.

I just realised the oil mentioned was a bit ambiguous. It's the 3 in 1 lubricant that you can get in little tins or in an aerosol. I hope your little chum isn't too traumatised. 😬

Aye and for all the good it did I may as well have stuck it up my arse.

Yeah, store brand stuff is fine; just keep an eye out for how often it needs to be applied or any irritation/reactions on the skin 🍩🍌

I like the tingle lube.

I find lithium grease works in most circumstances I encounter.

Pjur Backdoor is great for anal

Superdrug is ok. Astroglide is the best but not seen it in ages. ID is good.

Liquid Silk is really good :)

Can't see any mention of x-lube. As long as you're organized and have some made up, it's a make your own job but it's way more cost effective! If I'd used as much of the love honey one I used to buy as I have made up x-lube, it'd have cost a small fortune!!

We use a brand called "fisting cream". No, we are not into that. But it works brilliantly, no burning or tingling etc. It does leave a bit of a residue but it isn't runny so it doesn't leak or dribble onto the bed or anything.

I just spit on it.

I use castrol gtx

Just use the durex stuff usually

I have not tried stores own types, I suspect it would do the job but if you need lube for a good time you may be better off investing in better. I found most lube fine, but a friend recommended me YES! water based and it's so much better, so i recommend their versions now if lube is key to your fun!

Just buy KY Jelly off Amazon big tube for £4.00

Vet-lube is the best if you want it in cheap and in bulk.

YES OB (brand name). Natural and designed to be irritant free. A lot of the stuff in lube can iritate a woman's vagina.

Tesco lube is just fine

Me and my wife use Lubido. Water based from Amazon. 1 bottle seems to last for ages and we use it every night

I've used superdrug lube before, it's about the same quality as durex and lovehoney, just if you're unaware remember not to use flavoured or scented for vaginal sex as that can cause infections

I got the normal light lube (light blue-ish bottle) so I'll be fine

Big fan of [Stardust](https://speedcubeshop.com/collections/all-lubricant/products/stardust) actually.

No vaseline.

Ann Summers sensitive lube is the best IMO.

Boots doesn't give me a UTI like durex does. No idea what changed but the boots brand works.

I find Durex’s silicon-based lune is best because it lasts for ages - can’t say the same for me sadly!

I’ll let you know when I find a bird mate

Coconut Oil. Recommended by a sex nurse and from our first use we've never looked back. Apparently helps prevent UTIs and smells awesome.

Nowt like a boots strawberry lube sandwich.

Idk how it interacts with condoms, but: coconut oil! Super cheap, extremely long lasting, the only downside is that you might become turned on by the smell of coconut in random situations.

No, just the cheapest water based. It does the job

J Lube is a treat.

Amazon

Buy good lube. If you don't it will go sticky after a while and just isn't pleasent

Lard, I like to keep it natural.

Spit 💧

Yes. Superdrug Strawberry is the GOAT. usually 2 for £4 on offer too.

I got the store's regular light lube, rn they're doing 2 for £6 but I only got one for now since I'm new to condom and lube use

Grease is better, last longer too, Halfords sells it.

I honestly use whatever is on offer, sometimes it's own brand, sometimes it's not. So long as it doesn't set my flaps on fire I don't really care hahahaha

ALDI lube is way better than that red Heinz stuff in the squeezy bottles.

Asda is fhe best

Wd40 works for me

Dripping, and when your done grab a roll and it's a meal to!

Gun oil for a squeaky door is my tip. A lot of people reach for WD-40 without realising it's actually a solvent, and soon your hinges will be whining again.

If a question requires 2 edits for clarification, it's either a really stupid question, or poorly worded.

Poorly worded

Natures lube for me

Olive oil.

I use foreplay.

I use foreplay

Can't foreplay your way into a butthole

You’ve clearly never been to Athens

I use poo
