The Original Cream Quickie from Elbow Grease is a mineral oil-based lubricant that's been a trusted staple since 1979. This thick, cushiony formula delivers extended glide without drying out, making it ideal for extended sessions where reapplication becomes a distraction. The 1 oz jar size is travel-friendly and discreet — perfect for keeping in a nightstand or gym bag.
Because it's oil-based, the Original Cream stays slick longer than water-based alternatives, which means less interruption and more focus on sensation. The texture is rich but not sticky, and it warms slightly with friction. This formula suits solo stimulation, partner play, and anal use where extra cushioning and longevity matter. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin but robust enough for more vigorous exploration.
One thing to note: oil-based lubricants aren't latex-safe, so you'll need polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms if barrier protection is part of your routine. If you're looking for a lube that doesn't quit halfway through, this is the workhorse formula that's earned its reputation over four decades.
Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Petrolatum, Microcrystalline Wax.
Free from glycerin, parabens, and water — a pure oil-based formula.
Scoop a small amount with clean fingers and apply directly to skin or toys. Because it's oil-based, a little goes a long way — start with less and add more as needed. Wipes or soap and water will remove residue after use; oil-based lubes don't rinse away with water alone.
What is the Original Cream Quickie made of? It's a mineral oil-based lubricant made with Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, and Microcrystalline Wax — no glycerin, parabens, or water.
Can I use this lube with latex condoms? No — oil-based lubricants degrade latex. If you need barrier protection, use polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms instead.
How long does the glide last compared to water-based lube? Significantly longer — oil-based formulas don't dry out or absorb into skin, so you won't need to reapply mid-session.
Is the Original Cream safe for anal play? Yes — the thick, cushiony texture and long-lasting glide make it a popular choice for anal exploration where extra lubrication is essential.
Does the Original Cream Quickie ship discreetly to Canada? Yes — every order ships in plain, unmarked packaging with confidential billing.
