Elbow Grease Cool Cream is a thick, oil-based lubricant with menthol added for a cool, tingly feel. It's the same rich cream that made Elbow Grease a staple for hand play, with a minty twist that some people love and others find too much, which is exactly why the 4 oz jar is a sensible size to try it in. Expect long glide, very little dripping, and a cooling note that varies a lot from person to person.
Straight from the jar it looks and handles like a soft moisturising cream, white and dense. Warmed between your palms it loosens into a slick layer that doesn't soak in or dry out the way a water-based gel does, so you rarely need to reapply mid-session. The cooling comes from menthol. Elbow Grease says the level of sensation depends on the person and on where it's applied: on hands and the shaft many people describe a light, fresh tingle, while thinner, more sensitive skin can feel it much more strongly. Reviews range from "barely cool" to "quite a kick," so start small. The cooling also tends to fade as the cream spreads thinner, which is why a second, smaller dab later on often feels fresher than one big application at the start.
Its home ground is manual play and masturbation, where a long-lasting slick cream really earns its keep. Elbow Grease markets its cream formulas for masturbation, anal and fisting, but menthol on internal tissue is a different matter from menthol on a hand, so try it externally first and never use it on broken or irritated skin.
Two compatibility points matter. First, oil breaks down latex, so this is not a lube for latex or polyisoprene condoms; if you use condoms, pick a water-based lube instead. Second, oil-based lubes are generally fine on glass, steel and hard plastic toys, but they can cling to and degrade softer sleeves made from TPE or other jelly-type materials, so keep it away from strokers and soft toys.
Use a fingertip's worth to begin. Rub it between your hands for a few seconds so it warms and spreads, then apply. If you want more cooling, add a little more rather than starting with a big scoop; it's much easier to build up than to take away. If the sensation is too strong, wipe off what you can with a dry cloth and let the area air out. Water on its own doesn't remove oil, so give it time or use a gentle cleanser.
Wash hands and skin with warm water and soap afterwards. Oil can mark sheets and clothing, so lay down a towel or throw first. Wash glass or steel toys with soap and warm water before putting them away. Close the lid tightly and keep the jar out of direct sun so the cream doesn't separate.
