To lube or not to lube that is the question?!

why are you pouring alcohol?
that will dry you out.
i found that lotion works best. and if you get chafing on the base ring, neosporin to help it heal better as well as it has longer lasting lube effects than traditional lotion does.
dont use KY or astroglide as they are sugar based and promote bacterial growth. use lotion or a oil.

daily i will lotion thebase ring area as well as the shaft and head that touch the bars. this helps it slide around all day and night when erections happen, then when they subside, everything can go back to where it wants to be without sticking tot he steel cage. be sure to dry off after showering. it takes some practice to get all the nooks and crannies dry. if you dont dry off well, the funk smell returns much faster.

 

Baby oil applied when it first goes on and then daily after a shower.

 

I use coconut oil. Not the cheap imitation coconut flavor lotion or cream crap, I mean real coconut oil, but yes they also make it in a thicker white lotion. There are some very good organic brands on Amazon. It's one of the healthiest things you can use on your skin. Coconut oil is pretty great stuff.

I was reading recently how (if you get food grade) versatile it is. You can eat it, cook with it, use it as an all-over body and skin product, use as a massage oil, a carrier oil for essential oils, and yes, of course, .... for that too.

I buy in a bottle with a pump top (like liquid soap) and just a squirt or two and things slide right into place quite easily. I use fractionated coconut oil, because it is thinner and absorbs easier and faster, it's not as thick.

 

Just a good ole daily soap and water irrigation with a bulb syringe followed by air-drying. No oil/lube in the tube.

Occasional Grapeseed oil applied to scrotum to ease the sometime burning sensation caused by the ring of the device in use.

 

Edit to my above post:

I neglected to mention the soap, water, shower.

I just assumed we all shower with soap and water daily and were talking about a comfortable reinstallation/realignment process after cleaning because of the dryness to the skin from soap/cleansers.

Lucky, didn't realize the sugar thing since I don't use astro or ky, so was good to learn. Thanks.

 

I just use toilet paper to wipe off any stray pee each time I go, then scrub thoroughly with a bath brush and shower gel when I shower. Urine isn’t bacterially contaminated, so don’t use alcohol. For comfort, I use baby oil gel morning and night.
