To lube, or not to lube... That is the question.

I use baby oil twice a day, I walk a lot and it gets chaffed already so the oil helps

 

I think lotion weakens the skin, traps bacteria, and allows the device to slide during morning wood, causing painful flagpoling.

 

I've been using https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/n...of-transparent-dressing/ID=prod361001-product under the scrotum where the most of the burning and chafing is and it seems to be working pretty well I'm getting about 3 or 4 days per little sticky, so that's about month per box

 

Not sure if this helps. I nearly always go dry. On the rare occasions I feel like I might be getting irritation (usually related to hair removal) I use Gold Bond Medicated Lotion with Aloe. It works like a charm.

This used to happen more frequently, now only once in awhile: if I have any burning sensation when I wake up in the morning it isn't irritation. It's pressure on my scrotum and testicles from my penis trying to get hard. Once I'm up and about for 30 minutes or so it's gone.

 

I'm the same as @Herlicker 1970 in that I use baby oil. I find it helps my penis not to "squish up" and fold on the sides of the tube, but mostly it means the ring can move around without chafing the skin too much.

I usually apply 1 or 2 times a day, but it will all be down to personal preference!
