Best For:

  • Extended intimate sessions
  • Anyone who finds water-based lubes dry out too quickly
  • Couples seeking a thick, cushioning formula
  • Experienced users familiar with oil-based products

Elbow Grease Original Cream has been a trusted choice since 1979, earning its place as one of the longest-running lubricants on the market. This mineral oil-based cream delivers a thick, cushioning texture that stays put during extended play, making it a go-to for anyone who values endurance over frequent reapplication. Its viscosity sets it apart from thinner formulas — you get consistent glide without the slip turning watery.

The Original formula is particularly suited to solo play and partnered intimacy where long-lasting slickness matters more than quick cleanup. Because it's oil-based, it won't absorb into skin or evaporate the way water-based lubes do, which means less interruption and more focus on sensation. The creamy consistency also makes it a favourite for massage that transitions into something more intimate.

What this isn't: a quick-rinse, everyday lube. Oil-based formulas require soap and water for removal, and they're not compatible with latex barriers. If you're used to water-based convenience, the trade-off here is deliberate — you gain durability and richness, but lose spontaneous cleanup. For users who know what they want from an oil-based product, that trade-off is exactly the point.

Ingredients

Mineral oil, petrolatum, microcrystalline wax.

Free from water, glycerin, and parabens — formulated as a pure oil-based product.

How to Use

Scoop a small amount with clean fingers and apply to desired areas. A little goes a long way due to the thick consistency. Reapply as needed, though the formula is designed to maintain slickness for extended periods. Remove with soap and warm water after use — oil-based products don't rinse away with water alone.

Compatibility

  • Latex condoms: Avoid — oil degrades latex and causes breakage
  • Polyurethane condoms: Safe to use
  • Silicone toys: Safe — oil does not react with silicone
  • Cleanup: Requires soap and water; may stain fabrics
