I liked soap and water in the shower as a lube too, until I realized I could take advantage of this lube requirement for my excessively dry hands.
Also I’ve read posts that soap/shampoo as lube can cause irritation if the liquids get inside of the urethra.
So I decided to switch to Vaseline, but it was just too greasy and made my penis sparkle…not to mention the fact that it took over 6 minutes to get the crap off my hands afterwards.
Then I tried some baby oil, but had the same problem with washing it off.
Finally someone suggested trying these Vaseline Intensive Care bottles. Don’t get this confused with regular Vaseline though, these are not greasy petrolium jellies you think I’m referring to, but lotions under the same brand name.
Right now I’m using Vaseline Intensive Care: Dry Skin Lotion..which has been helping me get rid of the dried up skin around my finger nails while also being an awesome lube when I simultaneously jelq. I have to reapply a tad bit more every 10 minutes (just like in the shower when I had to put some more soap on my hands after a while), but that’s fine for now since I don’t jelq for more than 20 minutes yet anyway.
I’m probably going to switch to Vaseline Intesive Care: Aloe and Naturals Lotion when I finish with this bottle because my hands no longer suffer from dryness, and I’m starting to wonder if this lotion is making my dick a little too smooth..which is not a good thing for a person with ejaculatory control issues, heh.
Anyway I think you should give these a shot…they should have em at your local Eckerds and Walgreens.
