Additionally, it is important to use lube in moderation and clean up any excess to prevent slipping hazards. DIY J-lube variations

These do not damage condoms or sex toys, and are typically the safest option for intercourse and masturbation. This is the simplest way of doing things. Just shake some of the powder into your hands, run your hands under a stream of water, and there you have it... you are lubricated. A few things to keep in mind; for one, if you apply the powder directly to your skin before wetting it, it is significantly harder to wash off. It does, however, provide a very good lubrication barrier even under extremely wet conditions. It will even stay on skin for quite a while under a constant stream of water, such as a shower or even underwater in a bath. Silicone-based lubes are suitable for sexual intercourse as they do not damage latex-based barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms. Increased risk of STIs: Using oil-based lubricants with condoms can weaken the latex and increase the risk of condom breakage, which can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).For oral sex, flavored lubes can mask the latex flavor of a condom and add novelty. We recommend Sliquid Naturals’ Swirl because it is free from potentially harmful ingredients like glycerin, parabens, and propylene glycol. It is vegan and hypoallergenic as well. They shared the pros and cons of different types of lubes, who would benefit from using lube, the best lube for different intentions, and ingredients to seek out or avoid. They also shed light on whether lube affects your risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). So to summarize, yes it does work. However, other offerings seem to work better, but a thinner mixture of J-Lube that didn’t coat so heavily might work well enough.

Microwaving your J-Lube is very important for two reasons. First, it does an excellent job finally eliminating all remaining clumps, air bubbles, and helps uniformly mix the J-Lube. And second, the heat will aid in sterilizing the final mixture, producing a much cleaner end product. There are several lubricants specifically made for intercourse, masturbation, and other types of sexual activity. They include: Water-based lubricantsJ-lube can be used for more than just personal lubrication. It can also be used as a massage gel or even as a slime-making ingredient for kids. Just be sure to keep it away from your eyes and mouth. J-lube vs. other types of lubricants Step 7: Have fun! Congratulations! You have made yourself a bottle of pre-mixed J-Lube. Have fun, and be safe! Let the covered pitcher sit for as long as you can manage. I try to give it a couple of hours. Stir occasionally. This helps make sure that the J-lube is all completely hydrated.

In addition, Vaseline states that it is for external use only, so it is likely not suitable for penetrative or oral intercourse. While J-lube is commonly used in veterinary medicine for animal births, it’s not recommended for human pregnancies. Consult with your doctor for safe lubricant options during pregnancy. J lube for BDSM play First off, a blender is used for food. It has lots of nooks and crannies around the area of the chopping blades where bits of food can hide, even after a thorough washing. And those little bits of food invite bacterial growth, which while harmless in your digestive tract are a bigger question when they enter any of the other openings on the human body which do not encounter such bacteria directly on a normal basis. Cleanliness and safety are important here, so unless you are keeping one blender for just the mixing of lubricants, I would consider it too difficult to sterilize the blender for this purpose safely. That’s my opinion, though. You may feel differently. Just don’t get your dirty blender lube near my butt. Dr. Karyn Eilber, a urogynecologist who practices at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and co-founder of Glissant Intimate Wellness , which makes all-natural lubricants. Her practice focuses on women's pelvic health, including sexual wellness. She is also the editor and co-author of the newly released book, A Woman’s Guide to Her Pelvic Floor. Shake some of the powder into your hands and run your hands under a stream of water. And there you have it you are lubricated. A few things to keep in mind; for one, if you apply the powder directly to your skin before wetting it, it is significantly harder to wash off.

How to use J lube

Other than farmers and veterinarians? It is also used by special effects artists to produce slime for movies and television shows and by people who enjoy fisting. J-Lube adheres to the skin well, is extremely slippery, can be made in copious amounts, and really works well. I’m not into fisting, so I can’t say for sure, but I like it because it’s slippery goo which I am into. Guess I never grew out of the whole childhood fascination with glop and slime. Hybrid lubes typically have a combination of water and silicone, so they have a mix of the pros and cons of each option. The water makes them easy to clean up and the silicone keeps them from drying out so they last longer. Vaginal irritation: Some lubricants may contain ingredients that can irritate the vagina or lead to infections such as yeast infections.

J-Lube, in a sense, takes its cues on how it functions directly from nature. What’s one lubricant naturally made by the human body? Mucus, also affectionally called “snot.” Which, by the way, is basically a bunch of cells (which aren’t all that unlike the polymer in J-Lube) suspended in water. There are some salts in there as well, but that’s sort of beside the point for the moment. The main thing is, it’s a mixture very similar to J-Lube in how it functions, which is one of the reasons why J-Lube does its job so well. It mimics the same lubricants that a human body produces, which are designed to make the body slippery. Allergic reactions: Some people may be allergic to the ingredients in certain types of lubricants. Symptoms may include itching, redness, itching, and even swelling.

One suggestion I received from a faithful J-Lube fan was to use just a pinch of unsweetened powdered drink mix to add flavour, colour, and scent to your J-Lube. I haven’t tested it myself, but it sounds like it should work well. The key is to avoid the mixes with the sweetener already added to them, as having added sugar in your lube is mostly just an invitation to bacterial growth. Electro-stimulation toys and gadgets have specific needs associated with their lubricants. The lubricant needs to enhance electrical conductivity as opposed to insulating against it, which means that in general water-based lubricants are fine. Silicone oils, mineral oils, and things of that sort are not. J-Lube, being water-based, meets the criteria as specified by those manufacturers of a usable lubricant. I did speak with someone at PES once specifically about J-Lube, and they said that it does indeed work fine. However, not being satisfied with much of anything unless I witness it for myself, I decided to conduct some tests. What I have found is that yes, J-Lube does work, but it isn’t the best choice. The conductivity gels sold by the manufacturers (which I’m loathe to call “lubes” because they don’t seem to lubricate worth a damn) work better, and I would suggest using those instead. Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity, and it generally requires the addition of some ions (an easy source of which is an ionic compound, like salt, which is J-Lube’s enemy) to make it conduct well. The polyethylene oxide in J-Lube doesn’t seem to do anything to enhance the conductivity of the mixture. It seems to hinder it more than anything else as it forms a thin barrier between the electrode and the skin. Perhaps using a different ionic compound other than table salt that didn’t degrade the lubricant would make for a good conductive lube, but I haven’t experimented in that capacity. Put the distilled water in the pitcher. *Lightly* dust the surface with about 1/3 or 1/4 of the J-lube powder. Avoid creating piles or lumps of J-lube powder on the surface of the water. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for, say, five minutes, until the powder has all taken up some water. Let sit a while longer, say ten or twenty minutes. Then stir very well.
