Lubrication for urethral play?

Yes. A thin water base lube like Astroglide. A thicker one like KY robs sensation. You need it to go in soft. Go in slowly to wet the urethra, which will have non-lubricating urine in it. As soon as the sound goes in, there will be plenty of precum and then the sound will slide almost effortlessly.

Just one thought in follow-up to the Astroglide vs. K-Y thread.....K-Y has preservatives and antiseptic additives that retard biological growth. This is something to be considered for patients prone to urinary tract infections and are using already opened containers of K-Y. Astroglide does not have preservatives and antiseptics.

Has anyone had severe burning problems using the lube packets supplied with cath insertion kits? Many years ago I began to experiment with catheters. I first had the procedure done on me by a female play doc who I had known for quite a while. After alot of research we followed all the proper procedures and even though I didn't end up with any kind of infection it burned terribly for quite some time thus overshadowing any pleasure that could be experienced. Later on I tried the procedure on a longtime patient with the same results. I had been using sounds for a while using sterile lube in a tube with no burning whatsoever. Tried the cath with this lube and experienced no burning at all. I've since used this lube whenever I insert a cath and the results have been great. The only problem is that I use a new tube whenever I use a cath. I dont touch the tube to anything. I let the lube drip onto the cath so the only thing that touches the sterile cath is the lube and the patients urethra. I then use the rest of the tube up on vaginal and rectal exams. Fortunately not all of my patients are into being catheterized(as far as the lube is concerned anyway).

I have tried using the lube in a cath tray and also found it burned. For cath play, sterile lube is a must. I guess you will have to find a source of a different brand in the small packets.

I have to wonder if the bacteriastatic agent is in a different conentration in the single use packets as opposed to the larger tube. I don't know why that would be, but I have noticed the same phenomenon. At work, we frequently use the smaller packets, and of course the animals can't tell me if it burns or not, but I have also used them in med play, and my patients tell me the same thing.

Things that make you go "hmmmmm".

I too,have experienced the irritation you are talking about. Over the years, I have tried all manner of medically sterile lubricants. Some profoundly more irritating than others, yet all irritating in some manner just the same. Of those, the sterile individual surgilube packets are the least(very minimal) irritating, so that is what I use. I wish there were a proven non-irritating lube available across the counter,comments welcome. 😃

G.N.

I have never had a problem with Surgilube. I like it as it seems to last much longer than other lubes. Plus it is what my doctor uses so it makes the play seem more real.

I recently used a Lo-Fric DilaCath flexible sound and was greatly impressed with the smoothness and lack of any pain in passing through the prostate and into the bladder. The thickness was 18 Ch and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who gets pleasure from penetrating their urethral canals.

Tom-

Can you provide a link or other information as to where to come by this magical product? "Sounds" like just the ticket!

I get irritation from Astroglide every time. For the guys precum is optimal, no irritation. I've found that KY out of the tube hardly gives me any problem. About twenty years ago, I went to a Cow Artificial Insemenation School. The instructor there sad that they always used KY because it was the only lube that close was enough to the cow's chemical makeup, ph I guess that didn't have a detrimental effect on the semen. I've just never had a problem with it.

I use either surgilube or whatever they include in the syringes in the Bard insertion kits

Ladydoc,

The dila-cath its used for "clean intermittent dilation", dilation to prevent stricture and scarring. Info on their web site www.lofric.us

Thanks for sharing. Have not heard of that before. Definitely might give it a try.

I have always used surgilube but going to try KY due to easier to get in my area. Never had any irritation.

I personally LOVE using a powdered lube called J-Lube. I bought it from a medical fetish store that i think is out of business now. In several years with regular use, i've only consumed 1/5 of a $7 bottle. You sprinkle a tiny bit on your palm and add water. It sticks to the skin incredibly well, but is equally slippery. works better than anything else I've tried for anal play/fisting. I imagine it would work well for urethral play if it could be mixed in a way as to be sterile. Haven't read the MSDS on it for ages though. Not sure how safe it is for that sort of thing. Any thoughts?

J-lube is a veterinary medicine lubricant. It can be mixed in a clean manner and could be autoclaved, I suppose, but I would not think that would be good. This stuff in incredibly slippery. It can be found and many farm stores.

J-lube is great stuff but it was specifically designed for use on large animals for exams and for births where the calf or foal is stuck in the birth canal. It isn't sterile and therefore isn't appropriate for urethral play.

I use Muko in individual packs, which is available in the home health section of the big local Shoppers Drug Mart here in Charlottetown. It is specifically intended for catheters and other medical instruments. It is a thick, water base gel that clings really well to my Van Burens and makes insertion easy, comfortable and pleasureable.

I would never use anything but surgilube - and only a fresh tube. UTIs are no fun. Any urethral play should be done with sterile precautions. Some supply houses sell individual packers of surgilube. That is the way to go. If you are ever in the ER - check the drawers in your cubicle. It is usually full of them. Grab a handful.

While the idea of using the single use sterile packs is a good one, STEALING is not. If you need sterile lube, order from any medical supply house but please, don't lower yourself to stealing supplies to satisfy your fetish needs.

I typically use KY, it is easy to find and no one asks questions.

I have to self-catheterise for genuine medical reasons. The doctor prescribes instillagel to use.

Anything other than sterile lubricant is really asking for problems. Yes, some people violate every principle of sterile technique and don't get infections, but sooner or later it will happen. The large tubes of sterile KY (or other brand) are sterile the first time they are opened. After that, they are not considered sterile. Besides, unless you sterilize the piercing tip on the cap, even the first use cannot be considered sterile. Individual 3g or 5g sterile packets is the way to go. Sterile Instillagel in single-syringes is also an excellent choice.
