I am always looking for new and cheaper ways to add enjoyment to the hobby. Below is a recipe for homemade personal lubricant. It is very similar to Astroglide and is completely water soluble with no additives or preservatives. It is also Al Gore Green compliant.
1 Cup of water
4 tsp of corn starch
1 pot (cooking type....not smoking type)
Add the water and the corn starch into the pot and mix.
Make sure you have stirred well and there is no corn starch stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cover the pot and slowly bring to a boil. Make sure the corn starch does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Once it has reached a boil the contents should become more viscous and somewhat resemble the consistency of gelatin. Remove from the stove and pour into a container of choice.
Allow the solution to cool at room temperature. DO NOT PUT IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER!!! It will cause the solution to form a skin that is a lot harder than the rest.
It is not clear like store bought and remains milky looking. It is extremely cheap and is 95% as good. It has no taste like store bought lubricants and you can add whatever flavor or scent you like when making it.
Astroglide - $9 for 5 oz
Homemade - $.09 for 8 oz
or if you look at it another way.........
For $9 you can make 6.25 GALLONS of this lubricant.
For $30 you can fill a bath tub.
