This is all about LUBE. It’s not an exhaustive list of every lube available. This will focus on suggestions for edging and masturbation. You’ll also find information at the bottom of the page that gives more details about the different types of lubes.
Types of lubricants
Here’s a quick primer on lube and some things to know to figure out lubes to try for Masturbation May 2024.
There are four general types of lube: water, silicone, natural oil, and synthetic oil. There is also a hybrid of silicone and water. And a new kind of organic lube featuring aloe vera, which I don’t like. There are pros and cons to each type. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see all the pros and cons.
Oil-based lube for stroking
For long masturbation sessions (edging or gooning), I like oil or silicone because it’s nice and slippery and will stay wet for a longer time than water based lube.
NOTE: Do NOT use silicone or oil-based lubes with toys or condoms! If you’re edging with a toy inside, you’ll need TWO different lubes.
Ms Olivia’s favorite lube for stroking, edging and gooning
My all time favorite lube is coconut oil. It’s natural, slippery, and smells great. It also is something you can easily explain as a kitchen item. That’s also true for olive oil, I just like coconut oil a bit better.
Lubes listed as organic are increasing in popularity. It’s usually coconut oil with some other ingredients like shea butter, etc.
The original Boy Butter is coconut oil based. That’s my favorite for stroking. They do have water-based ones for other types of play.
Roam Solo Cream has a really nice feel, see what you think.
AstroGlide is a longtime favorite and has a variety of silicone based options.
Elbow Grease is a great company. Bodyglide fusion from Elbow Grease is silicone based and really nice.
Warming lubes
While you’re on the Elbow Grease Lube site take a look at the H2O options, and there is also a warming lube option that has a bit of menthol for tingling, warming and cooling sensations.
Speaking of lubes to enhance sensations, Hello Cake is fantastic, try the Stim for Him warming gel. Use as much as you want of the Stim for him and then slather on your regular lube for extended stroking.
Weird lube
Bacon flavored lube – yep you read that right. It’s water-based.
Cum flavored, pussy flavored, festive fruit flavored lube options are part of the flavored edible lubes.
What’s in your lube?
Like I said at the top of the page, there are four main categories of ingredients. Each one has pros and cons. Remember, as with anything, De gustibus non est disputandum, in matters of taste there is no dispute. I want you to try a variety so you have lots of options!
Water-based
Pros:
- Great for those with sensitive skin.
- Safe with latex condoms, vibrators and other sex toys.
- Easy clean up
- Won’t stain most fabrics
Cons:
- It dries out and gets sticky
- It is pointless to use in the shower because it washes right off!
Silicone-based
Pros:
- Slick, slippery and wet
- Long-lasting
- Will work with latex condoms
- Great for anal
Cons:
- Do not use on silicone toys!!
- A bit hard to clean up and will stain fabrics (and wood!)
Oil-based
Pros:
- Any oil you can eat is safe for your body (please don’t use vaseline)
- Long-lasting!!!
- It works well in the shower
Cons:
- Destroys latex condoms
- Stains fabrics
- It is best not to NOT use it inside the body (builds up bacteria)
New types of lube
There are hybrid lubes, which are oil or silicone mixed with water. See what you think. Remember, even if it’s less oil or silicone, it’s still there, so the cautions about using oil or silicone with condoms, toys and staining still apply.
Aloe vera lube is a natural lube and it’s new on the market. I personally don’t like the aloe vera smell and the gel dries out quickly. Feel free to try it but make sure you have other options in case you don’t like it.
The Weekly Hot Spot podcast
Mistress Erika and I do a podcast called The Weekly Hot Spot.
We often talk about different types of lube when we’re talking about using sex toys or solo masturbation. Grab your favorite lube and listen, because among the BDSM / kink education and laughter, there are sexy stories that you might enjoy. Wink, wink.
