Best Lube

I just finished building my own pump, and I plan on using it tonight. What’s the best lube to use?

Water based lubes are by far the easiest to clean up and will not degrade any of your pump parts. They do, however, dry out, but all that is necessary is a little warm water nearby to keep the lube fresh in between pump sets. You don’t have to add more lube, just a bit of water.

KY Jelly is the name brand, but Target and Wal Mart have their own generic brands that are just as good and much cheaper.

Great. Thanks for the input.

I too use KY or Astroglide to help seal the clyinder. Works great!

Many of the big drugstore chains have their own generic brands. There is nothing to choose between them.

I’ve used Succulents flavored lube stays nice and slippery for a long time.

You can buy the stuff by the gallon or by the drum. Link courtesy of the boss.

You’re having way too much fun in life if you need lube by the gallon.

That’s a question that I have had. What composition qualifies something as ‘pump safe’? Water-based seemed the safest bet. I’ve shied away from petroleum-based lubes until now, but I see that VacuTech (https://www.vacutech.com ) is offering something called "Pumpers Lube" (http://www.vacu tech.com/prodde … .asp?prod=50006 ), and its ingredients are listed as "petrolatum, mineral oil, paraffin, ceresin".

So, now I don’t know. I don’t know what the internal seals/gaskets are made of inside the pump, and what they tolerate. Water-based lubricants still seem like the safest bet, but now I’m wondering if other options might not also be worth considering.

Can you use the pump without using any lube?

Painfully you can, I suggest you use lube. Anybody tried aloe vera jelly? Works well for me.

I suppose you could. However, you don’t want your skin sticking to the side of the tube as you expand during your session. Lube helps your skin slide in the tube as expansion takes place.

In that case, can you use Vaseline?

Vaseline can be used, but it is just about the hardest to clean up. For me, it is just too messy.
