Lube Shooters

Lube Shooters

This handy little device has been a part of my toy kit since I found them. I've spent years working with messy lube that's just gotten all over the place- the bed, the floor, my hair... everywhere except where I WANTED the lube to be.

On a trip to San Francisco, I stopped by Mr. S Leather, a wonderful bdsm/leather/kink (or however else you want to term it) store. Being in a lifestyle relationship, I thought it that it would be a wonderful idea to swing by there and see what they had to offer! Their store was wonderful. It was well laid out, the employees were all friendly and they had a few demonstrations going on- which may have been partly due to the Folsom Street Fair that was going on outside. But it was wonderful and informative, nevertheless.

After giving the store a general look-over, I asked one of the very nice employees about the lube shooters that I'd found. He explained them to me: you cover the tip (which has a small hole) with your finger, pour lube into it, insert the plunger and you're ready to go! One point that he put particular emphasis on was that you need to pour the lube into the shooter. This is especially important if you have multiple partners, as you can't boil them to sterilize them-- and without that kind of cleaning, you really can't get all the germs off. I recommend having a specific shooter for each partner that you have, or buying multiples and making them single-use items.

In testing, they worked AMAZINGLY. They handle silicone and water-based lubricants equally well, and are excellent in getting the lube in all those tight spots that you wouldn't have been able to get it otherwise. They're easy to use, easy to clean (I use a one part rubbing alcohol, one part water solution and run that through them), and make sex less messy-- which, while it's fun to be messy, it's never fun to try and get silicone lube out of your sheets.

All in all, I would recommend these for anyone who uses any kind of lubricant. They can be used to apply it to toys, to people, for anything. They get five out of five stars for being easy to use, easy to clean and so very helpful.

Cheers,

A note: Please, please think about getting a good stock of shooters if you have multiple partners, or in the very least, investing in a small brush to clean them out with. Brushes used to clean trumpet mouthpieces work very well (er... just don't use them on your trumpet after that.). Remember that rubbing alcohol, anti-bacterial soap and/or specialized toy cleaners are all your friends.

Also, I've never tried the Shaft Lube that's in the picture. I intend to in the near future, and will review it ASAP.
