Can you use preparation H as a lubricant?

A friend recently bought this for us to try, but I am a bit nervous about it. Has anyone used this as a lube?

I often used it to lubricate anal dildos and other such anal toys. It works quite well as a lubricant and is more persistent in staying slippery and efficient. I have however read that it may affect certain kinds of materials by slowly but certainly degrading them. This would have been rubber based objects I think. In any case it is always a good idea to thoroughly wash and dry anything you lubricate with Prep-H afterwards.

I don't know about long term effects of persistent or copious use of Prep-H, if there are any even. But I wouldn't overdo the use in any case should one day you really need it for that which is made for.

The only drawback I find is the very specific odor. It is also quite persistent unless thoroughly washed off. In itself, the odor is not unpleasant, but I do find it very specific to Prep-H and not very medicinal at all. It may be too strong for some people. I now prefer to use other lubricants.

I use the Prep H Gel. Doesn't have the odor and is very slippery. I love it

Yes go could use that , I like using KY and warm water with it. , old way was to use some vasoline , but thats a little greasy.

I've tried Preparation H on dildos a couple of times. For me it only helps a little - I usually have some difficulty getting things over about 3/4 - 1" in diameter up my rear.

I have wondered though if would be such a good idea to numb pain sensations too well for anal play... I guess that if something is hurting you, you should know it before you tear your rectum or do other damage.

I've put Preparation H on enema nozzles a few times too, but usually if I'm like on the rare 4th or 5th enema.. Usually after a third enema I will begin to have a little difficulty with insertions. I've had the same thoughts too though, that if my butt hole is telling me that it has had enough enemas for now that maybe I shouldn't ignore it.

I have wondered too if overuse of Preparation H might cause a tolerance to the product's effect if you ever really needed to use it later in life.

Any time I use lube on a nozzle or toy I like to put a generous amount of the same stuff up my rear also. I like one of the "old ways" (as tripacer 150 put it), using Vaseline. I like the "greasy" feeling though, that kind of sticks around and lingers even after you've thoroughly wiped, lol. The more of it that I can get up there the better I like it! 😃

It is in a petroleum base I believe, so it would work as a lubricant. It will cause the tissue in your rectum to shrink as a side effect, but won't harm you otherwise.

Preparation H causes SWOLLEN tissue to shrink. My daughters and her gymnast friends use it to help when their hands get ripped when swinging 360's on the uneven parallel bars.

It won't shrivel up your rectum. I think there are better lubricants you can use.

Lol most important to remember water base lube for the front hole..oil base for the tail pipe lol

I have used it once to insert a nozzle. I found that after a few enemas it washes away.

Prep H works great with most nozzles and other anal insertables. It doesn't last forever but it does the job for at least a single enema and has nothing that will hurt you in it. It is partially glycerin and petroleum jelly.

Comes down to the difference between can and should. If you INSIST on using something that was not intended to be a lubricant, at least use a small amount of glycerin, or some lanolin or something like that.

You can as it has ingredients that are along that line. I would not use it on rubber or latex as it would most likely cause them to degrade over time. I have a bit of aversion to preparation H. One hurried morning I accidentally got it and the toothpaste mixed up, All day my mouth tasted like S#IT and my ass was minty fresh!

Ky is a better lube

I concur with others who say- yes you can use it as a lubricant but why would you when there are other choices that work better. Preparation H has its place to help heal a sore swollen anus, so I keep some around for that reason. But water based lube creates a very slippery surface for anal toys and enema nozzles and I think that is the way to go.
