Thick silicone lube?

Post by wettie »

Anyone know if they make a thick silicone based lube? Something the consistency of petroleum jelly but long lasting like silicone? Looking for the perfect "under ring lube".

A thicker viscosity silicone, aka silicone grease, that is safe for skin (i.e. it's food grade) is available at scuba shops. Don't know that you'd want to use it though as it can be pretty stiff and therefore hard to spread around. It's also not as slippery as silicone oil. The oil, which is usually dimethicone, is considered to be safe for use on skin and is available in most drug stores and stores like Wal Mart.

I've been using something like this, and it's great for 4-6 hours but then I feel like I have to reapply. Silicone seems to last longer but is messy to apply.

So to complete my PSA, this stuff is great, all the benefits of silicone lube without the mess. A small dab on a fingertip applied around the bass ring lasts all day or all night. Highly recommend.
