A Personal Lubricant That’s Cumming For You
As I got older I realized that my black-and-white view of the world wasn’t quite realistic. Sometimes things aren’t black or white, but blurred somewhere in between. Personal Lubricant: It would be more pragmatic to say that the world is in 50 Shades Of Grey, but I won’t go there. Not in this review.
What I do believe is black-and-white though, are people who love cum and people who don’t. No one just, “kind-of maybe sort of sometimes likes cum, a little bit”. You either love it or you don’t.
I love it. It’s like saying the party’s over, but we’re gonna keep on partying. And who doesn’t love a good after party? Probably people who go to bed at midnight. But I won’t get into that. Not in this review.
When I first tried Dragon Cum Lube, my co-worker Stephen came to visit me at work and had me place the product in the palm of my hand. It was incredibly realistic. Personal Lubricant: It was sticky, it looked like cum, it had the exact consistency of cum, and it even smelled like cum. It was kind of beautiful. The attention to detail was extraordinary.
You would honestly not be able to tell the difference between this and cum. Perhaps if you smell it for a really long time, you’ll pick up a hint of floral which may make you suspect it’s not cum. But no one’s going to do that, for fear of being branded that weirdo who goes around smelling people’s cum. And I won’t get into that. Not in this review.
Next I tried the Bad Dragon Clear Cum Lube. Once again, the consistency, attention to detail and general feel was amazing. After all, it’s made to feel like cum. However, it lost points for me personally, on a visual aspect. Personal Lubricant: It’s clear so it looks like saliva, and your brain would think it’s cum if your eyes were closed, but if you see it, it looks like spit. This can be hot and I don’t deny that, but I’m here for the cum and not saliva.
Both the Bad Dragon Cum Lubes are water-based which is great, and means they can be used with silicone or rubber toys and not deteriorate the toy or feel gritty.
Off the top of my head, some great situations to use these lubes in would be alone, especially if you’re going through a tough break up and you don’t want to meet people but you still want to experience cum. Or as part of safe sex play with condoms but still want to experience cum. Or as part of a porn where they’re shooting a bareback scene with one guy or girl who receives multiple loads from multiple participants to maintain the magic of cinema and make it look realistic. I could probably get further into that – but not in this review.
Last but not least, I had the opportunity to try the Bad Dragon Foaming Antibacterial Toy Cleaner. It was literally a godsend. Well, not literally, but I happen to be anal retentive – pun intended – about hygiene. So to have a cleaner that’s anti-microbial and disinfectant was great. The best part about it was that it has a gentle foaming cleansing effect so it doesn’t feel as intrusive as some other cleaners, and it doesn’t feel like the toy soaks in the cleaner.
If it sounds weird to you that I feel like my toy has soaked in a cleaner before, it’s probably because you’re not anal retentive. Also cleaners with strong or harsh odours can leave an imprint on toys which is why Bad Dragon’s toy cleaner being odourless is perfect.
Overall, I highly recommend the Bad Dragon Cum Lube. I kind-of maybe sometimes sort of like the Clear Bad Dragon Cum Lube, a little bit, and the Toy Cleaner trumps all other cleaners that I’ve tried before. Personal Lubricant: If you’re looking for a realistic cum substitute, it doesn’t get any closer than Bad Dragons Cum Lube.
If you’re not a cum lover you can probably use the Clear Bad Dragon Cum Lube as lubricant and the sensation it provides is fairly similar to luxurious saliva. Personal Lubricant: The cleaner is a must-have for anyone who has a toy. For the people who think that they can get away with just using soapy water on their toys, I don’t want to judge you but… I’m not going to get into that. Not in this review.

Guide To Personal Lubricant
Lubricant is a liquid that is used during sexual acts such as intercourse or masturbation to reduce the friction between the penis, vagina, anus and other body parts. Your personal lubricant can be applied to sex toys to again reduce friction and for easier penetration.
Do I Really Need Lubricant?
Not everyone needs lubricant. People who may need lubricant are ladies who may suffer from vaginal dryness which can be caused by a number of things such as; medications, menopause and pregnancy just to name a few. Some women who have sexual problems need to use personal lubricant whilst others need it to help them get started until their body functions take place. It makes masturbation easier for both males and females with and without toys.
Can I Buy Just Any Lube?
When it comes to buying lube you really need to keep a few things in mind. The first thing you want to do when buying lube is to consider who is using it and if you are using toys etc. You’ll also want to keep an eye out for certain ingredients that may cause more harm than good.
What are those ingredients and what can they do to your body?
- Glycerin: Glycerin is a sweet sugar substance. It has the potential to create yeast infections and Urinary Tract Infection (UTIs). If you are prone to yeast infections it is best to stay away from any lubes containing glycerin.
- Nonoxynol-9: Nonoxynol-9 is commonly used in spermicial lubes. The chemical can cause abrasions in the vagina. It can also break down the protective rectal lining in the anus. Both of which can potentially increase the chances of getting AIDs, STDs and skin irritations leading to infections.
- Petroleum: Petroleum coats skin in oils that block pores.
- Menthol: Menthol is mainly used in tingling and cooling lubes. It can be drying and dry out the soft tissue in the genital area.
- Parabens: Parabens are a preserving ingredient that includes methylparaben and propylparaben. Research suggests that parabens are absorbed by the skin and metabolize in the body, partially in the women’s breast and ovaries.
- L-arginine: L-arginine is mainly used in arousal lubes. It can encourage an oncoming herpes outbreak. If you have herpes avoid lube with this in it.
The Pro’s And Con’s Of Different Lubes
Water-based Lube
- Pros; easy to find, compatible with most condoms, use with toys, cheap, gentle and soothing, main ingredient is water, won’t stain and is easy to clean.
- Cons; can be sticky, dries quickly so you’ll need more, not recommenced to use in the shower.
Silicone-based Lube
- Pros; long lasting and never dries up, compatible with most condoms and non silicone toys, water friendly, good for dry sensitive skin and can also be used as a body massage oil.
- Cons; can be costly, hard to wash off and isn’t compatible with silicone toys.
Oil-based Lube
- Pros; good for masturbation.
- Cons; hard to wash off, not condom compatible and isn’t good for vaginal sex.
Hybrid Lube
- Pros; mainly water, long lasting, natural feel like water based, thicker than silicone based lubes and if oil free is condom safe.
- Cons; no real cons for this one it’s just not as good of a body oil as silicone…
Can I Use Lubes With Condoms?
Most lubricants are compatible with condoms and dental dams. As long as it is oil free and is also free of petroleum. Using a drop of lube inside the condom can help with a better fit but not too much otherwise the condom will slip off.
Can I Use Lubes With Sex Toys?
I know I touched on this but I wanted to make a clear indication of what lubes are safe to use with what toys, if you are unsure of what lubes you can use let this graph help you decide what lubes may be best for you.
You can also find lubricants which are sex toy friendly which is one of the benefits of why you can use SuperSlyde lubricant.
Can I Use Lubes While Pregnant?
As long as your doctor has given you the okay that it’s safe to enjoy sex during pregnancy water based lube is the most safe and recommended. Oil based and warming lubes are also okay to use as long as they don’t irritate you. If you need to talk to a specialist you can use HealthEngine to find a doctor in your local area.
In A Pinch And Need A Quick Replacement?
If you’re out of personal lubricant, try these alternatives:
- Coconut Oil: Natural and moisturizing, it’s great for intimate use and provides smooth, long-lasting lubrication.
- Aloe Vera Gel: Hydrating and soothing, it works well for sensitive skin and offers a natural, slick feel.
- Olive Oil: Common in kitchens, it’s a safe and effective alternative for lubrication with moisturizing properties.
Always check for allergies before use and avoid oil-based products with latex condoms. Please keep in mind these are only temporary alternatives and should not be used regularly.
Wrapping Up:
Choosing the right personal lubricant can significantly enhance your sexual experience, making it more comfortable and enjoyable. Always consider your specific needs and any potential allergies when selecting a lube. Be mindful of ingredients that may cause adverse reactions, and select the appropriate type of lubricant for your activities.
Water-based lubes are versatile and easy to clean, while silicone-based lubes offer long-lasting performance but may not be suitable for silicone toys. Oil-based lubes are great for solo play but not recommended for use with condoms. Always consult with your doctor about lubricant use during pregnancy to ensure safety.
When in need, natural alternatives like coconut oil, aloe vera gel, and olive oil can be temporary solutions. However, always verify compatibility with condoms and personal sensitivities. With the right information, you can make informed choices that enhance your intimate moments while ensuring safety and comfort.
