Perhaps there's some age correlation to glycerin sensitivity. If so, it might help some nubies.

Great poll idea NuBe09!

62 and sensitive! Learned quickly the soft way!

If by 'sensitivity' you mean that it makes you want to have a BM, my answer is "yes" if I use more than about 5ml. Provided I limit use to less than this, it's pretty much OK!

During the first two weeks of my Aneros journey, last May, I used glycerin-based KY gel and Astroglide lube. About two days after each of my two Aneros sessions, I had severe bouts with diarrhea. With the second bout, I seriously contemplated ending my Aneros sessions altogether. When I researched the forum, I found suggestions for using a water-based lube. I tracked down the water-based versions of KY and Astroglide AND everything has been fine since! :P

Oil.

The regular one is coconut oil + silicone.

I'm sure I voted yes on this quite a while ago. But I also wanted to mention another less talked about reaction from water based lubes that have glycerin in them. For myself and some other users, these lubes can also cause a painful burning sensation in the inner anal sphincter muscle. Which if you can even get past the urge to purge feeling, still makes for a very uncomfortable Aneros session. This is not a good first impression for an Aneros beginner. And could very well keep them from continuing to practice.

Interesting point Love_is, I've sometimes had a bit of a "ring sting" and assumed I'd over cooked things (even if early in a session) but maybe it's a lube sensitivity issue. It certainly hasn't been a case of drying up (although I have done that and it's no fun extracting a dry Progasm).

Unfortunately I am sensitive to glycerin lubes. Water based glycerin lube was the first I tried when I first got my aneros and the first few sessions I was like "why does burn!?' and it was extremely uncomfortable having to constantly reapply due to absorption. Within a week I switched to silicone and it is just great...no need to reapply and absolutely no uncomfortable sensations.

I didn't think I was until I switched to Shea Butter. Sessions run a lot smoother now... no pun intended.

It really gets my bowels rumbling, sometimes for days afterward. Slippery Stuff Gel even bothers a little, but I suspect it's due to subconsciously sabotaging myself. When I make up my mind to have a session, I start getting gas, before inserting lube.

Glycerin bugs me too.

It doesn't absorb into your skin, which is good I guess, but suppositories are made of pure glycerin.

It may sound strange, but do a "taste test" on any lubes. Just touch a very small amount on your tongue. If it's volatile (ie. stings like soap when you touch it on your tongue) don't put it inside you.

I use petroleum jelly almost exclusively and have without any problems.

I was and it really bothered my sensations. Now it's Olive Oil, what a big difference!!!!!

The only problem is it's so thin and messy, I have to find something else.
