Elbow Grease Original Quickie Cream is a thick masturbation cream in a 1 oz jar, made for long, smooth hand play without constant reapplying. It's the classic Elbow Grease formula in a pocket-sized trial pot. It suits anyone who finds water-based gels dry out too quickly during solo or mutual masturbation and wants a richer, longer-lasting glide.
Cream lubes sit between a gel and a lotion. Elbow Grease Original is thick and rich, so it stays where you put it, doesn't run down your wrist, and gives a cushioned, slippery glide that lasts through long strokes. The oils and shea butter in the formula give it a smooth, almost buttery feel, while the water base keeps it from feeling greasy. For hand play, many people prefer a cream to a thin liquid because it doesn't dry out halfway through.
The ingredient list starts with water and soybean oil, followed by cetyl alcohol, glycerin, dimethicone (a silicone), shea butter, aloe leaf juice powder and vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), plus thickeners and preservatives. Elbow Grease describes the Original Cream as oil-based. Because it contains oil and silicone, treat it as an oil-based product when it comes to condoms and toys: it isn't safe with latex condoms and isn't the right choice for silicone or soft-material toys.
Scoop a small amount onto your fingers, warm it between your palms for a few seconds, and apply. A little goes a long way; add more rather than starting with a big dollop. It works for solo masturbation, mutual hand play with a partner and massage-style touch. Afterwards, wash it off with warm water and soap, since creams with oil don't rinse away as easily as water-based gels. Oil can mark some fabrics, so put a towel down on the bed.
The Quickie jar is the trial size. It's small enough for a gym bag, travel kit or bedside drawer, and it's a low-commitment way to find out whether you like a cream before buying a larger jar. Close the lid tightly and keep it away from heat.

Helpful answers about Elbow Grease Original Quickie Cream Lubricant – 1 oz.
No. Elbow Grease Original Cream is oil-based, and oil weakens latex condoms, raising the chance of a tear. If you use condoms, switch to a water-based lube for that session. Polyurethane condoms tolerate oil, but check the condom box first.
Some people do use Elbow Grease Original for anal play because it's thick and long-lasting, but the maker positions it for masturbation and hand play. It isn't condom-safe and it's harder to wash out. For anal sex, a purpose-made option from our anal lubes is the safer pick.
It's better not to use Elbow Grease Original Cream with silicone, TPE or jelly toys. It contains oils and dimethicone, which can damage soft or silicone surfaces. Glass and stainless steel aren't affected, but a water-based lube is the simpler choice for most toys.
The supplier description calls it mineral-oil based, but the ingredient list shows soybean oil and no mineral oil. Go by the ingredients on your jar. Either way, it behaves as an oil-based cream, so the same rules apply: no latex condoms and no silicone toys.
A 1 oz Quickie jar of Elbow Grease Original usually lasts several sessions, since you only need a fingertip at a time. It's sized as a trial or travel jar. If you like it, the larger jars are better value for regular use.
Wash Elbow Grease Original off skin with warm water and soap; water alone leaves a slick film because of the oils. On sheets, treat any mark with dish soap before washing. Using a dedicated towel during play saves a lot of laundry.
