Say no to penile rubbing: what to use when you run out of lube
It’s kind of like toilet paper. The lubricant is, that is. Because as long as the bottle is still full, or the roll is still plentiful, there are no worries. Everything’s fine. But as exhaustion sets in, the brain begins to show up. “Hey buddy, remember to buy some lube.” Then of course none is collected. Fast forward to the moment of need and then, boom, what do you do? Without it, a man can expect chafing on the penis. Hmmm… is it worth taking that risk?
It has a feeling of pins and needles. redness Rash. An intensity of fire so fierce that the passing air is painful.
No, an irritated penis is not worth the risk. But what’s a guy to use when he’s out of lube? Here are some things that people recommend with varying levels of safety and success.
#1 Penile Chafing Lubricant Alternative: Aloe Vera
The unlikely champion, but of all the alternatives, probably the best out there. It’s slippery, soothing, and often safe for sensitive skin (say five times fast). However, it must be 100 percent pure aloe vera. It’s also odorless, safe for latex condoms, and has been shown to prevent yeast infections.
Down: Very few disadvantages of this alternative. Just be sure to do a patch test first before you slather it on the naughty parts because a small population of people may get irritated. Also, if it’s not 100 percent aloe, it can irritate lady parts.
General: The best choice for home around.
tips: Keep something handy for burns and ballin.
Penile Chafing Lubricant Alternative #2: Olive Oil
It may be one of the first things a man thinks to reach for to protect himself from the burn of an irritated penis. Good on a pizza and decent on a dick. It can be used for both vaginal and anal sex, as well as solo pleasure.
Down: Break the condoms. It is also thick and does not dissolve easily on the skin, which can trap bacteria and cause infections in intimate places. Olive oil can also stain sheets.
General: It works in a pinch, but only once or twice, and never in situations where a condom is needed.
tipsNote: Take a good, deep shower after using olive oil. Clean all the places where the oil has been.
Penile Chafing Lubricant Alternative #3: Vitamin E Oil
Vitamin E is an excellent skin moisturizer and can be found in many medicine cabinets. It has a great slip factor and is quite safe for the penis.
Down: It also breaks condoms. It can also irritate the secret garden of a female partner.
General: There are worse things to use, but only use this in a pinch.
tips: Do a patch test first to make sure there are no allergens or skin irritations.
Penile Chafing Lube Alternative #4: Coconut Oil
What can’t coconut oil be used for? This ubiquitous oil is also a possibility for lubrication, but remember, it’s still an oil! It is generally lighter and has a slipperier appeal than other oils and sinks into the skin faster.
Down: Break condoms (sound like a broken record, yet?). It can also alter vaginal pH, increasing the risk of yeast infection for female partners.
General: Probably the best oil to use if oil is the only option.
tips: This has become a popular alternative for those in sexual relationships who enjoy anal sex without condoms.
Penile Chafing Lubricant Alternative #5: Cornstarch and Water
Yes, it sounds very weird and it takes a bit of preparation time. However, this homemade lube has a silky smooth texture and is naturally hypoallergenic. It also won’t corrode latex condoms.
Down: Making this concoction takes about 20 minutes. It can get lumpy if it gets too cold and requires a fair amount of stirring and who has time for that in the heat of the moment?
General: This is one of the best and safest options out there. It can even be prepared ahead of time and stored for later use.
tips: Add some sexy apron role play to add foreplay and excitement to something that can be a little boring.
No matter which lubricant alternative is used, be sure to clean and rinse the penis thoroughly after use. Men should also use a specially formulated penis health cream (Health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven to be safe and gentle on the skin) to keep skin soft, silky and protected from irritants. While experimenting with alternative lubricants is an option when the Amazon package is expected to arrive, moisturizing and rejuvenating the penis should be a daily priority that includes a quality penis health cream.
