Update: there have been rumors of J-lube causing a fatality when a perforation happened and J-lube entering the abdominal cavity. It is reported to have caused a reaction that caused death. I’ve not been able to substantiate any of this. J-lube’s sugar origin may be the root of it as bacteria feed on it. Some lotions and soaps contain perfumes and preservatives, such as parabens. These can irritate the genitals and lead to infection.

Aloe Cadabra’s Natural Personal Lube is a unique aloe vera-based lube free from parabens, propylene glycol, and glycerin. This lube is vegan, edible, and comes in multiple fun flavors. It's made with 95% organic aloe vera and it contains vitamin E, so in addition to being safe for your body, it helps to reduce painful intercourse and relieves vaginal dryness. It’s a two-in-one deal as it acts as a personal lubricant and a vaginal moisturizer.

Baby oil as a lube carries the risk of poisoning, infection, and damage to barrier methods of contraception.

J-lube is a powder that’s used to make a lubricant. It’s commonly used by veterinarians to help with the birthing process in animals, but it’s also a popular ingredient in homemade lubricants.

We love that it comes in a bunch of flavors–from cherry vanilla to pina colada to cater to a variety of taste preferences. It’s sugar-free, but it does contain aspartame. There’s some mixed messaging around the safety of aspartame for internal use, so you may be best off using this exclusively for oral or non-penetrative sex.

When it comes to J-Lube, most folks will tell you that it’s a pain in the butt to mix and shouldn’t be kept around for very long. And I’m sure that would be true if you were to mix it without taking proper precautions for cleaning and sterilization of your containers, but if you take care when mixing it, it goes a great deal more smoothly than others would have you believe. For all practical purposes, there are two ways of mixing J-Lube. Either make it just before using it or prepare some in advance to have ready to go. J-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 J-Lube is two things; a polymer (polyethylene oxide) and a dispersing agent (sucrose). The real work is done by the polymer, the dispersal agent is just there to make it easier to measure out and mix. You’d be using a mere 25% of what you normally use if there were no dispersing agent, and given how J-lube likes to clump when it gets wet, if you didn’t have the dispersing agent it would turn into one big clump when it hit the water. 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.If you are looking for a lubricant for human use, it is recommended that you use products specifically designed and approved for that purpose.
