My Two Decades of Lube Wisdom: A Bottom's Journey

As a 100% pure bottom since discovering FFisting and FFootFFisting almost 20 years ago, I love feeling my hole stretched to the max—both in depth and width. Like many of us, I spent a long time searching for the best way to lubricate my ⭕️.

Over the years and through countless experiences, I've learned that what works best for me isn't a single lubricant formula, but a combination depending on the day's "workout."

Daily Plug Life: The Vegetable Grease Approach

On a daily basis, I like to wear a plug—especially hollow plugs—for extended periods, with or without a harness to hold it in place. For this, I lubricate with a vegetable-based grease like Crisco.

I know this topic has generated some critical comments regarding compatibility with toy materials. Personally, I only use high-quality toys from brands like Greedy Cluster, Topped Toys, or Oxballs. The materials have improved so much over the years, and I've never had problems with material degradation—as long as the toys are properly cleaned after use.

One important caveat: Based on personal experience, I advise against using vegetable-based lubricants when using condoms. They don't play well together.

High-Performance Play: The Powdered Lube Method

For toys that require more "performance"—whether very wide or very deep insertion—I turn to powdered lubricants that you dilute in water.

For width workouts: I start with a vegetable-based lubricant (like Crisco) and then apply my water-based powdered lubricant mixture on top.

For long-term plug wear or width training: Using a vegetable-based lubricant prevents that annoying "drying" sensation. I find the lubrication just lasts longer this way.

For deep workouts: Before starting, I inject a fairly large amount of my powdered lubricant mixture—mixed to a thick, slippery, smooth consistency. I use a large syringe or a long-nippled bottle (like the ones on GC's website) to get it deep inside. This creates a kind of internal "cushioning" sensation that prevents any discomfort and allows you to fully surrender to the pleasure of deep penetration.

Fisting & Foot-Fisting: Let the Top Choose

When it comes to FFisting or FFootFFisting, I let my partner choose his preferred lubricant from the options I described above. A good fister is attentive and sensitive to the signals he receives from the body of the person he's penetrating. He knows exactly what's needed to ensure the experience is enjoyable for both parties.

My Go-To Brand & Secret Recipe

I've tried different brands of powdered lubricants. Most are quite comfortable depending on the desired dosage and viscosity, but they all share one drawback: they're difficult to clean up. The one that suits me best right now is Fist Lube Powder.

Mixing tips:

The manufacturer's suggested dosage is a good starting point to determine if the recommended consistency suits your needs.
For a thicker consistency (my preference for deep penetration), I add 50% to 75% more powder than suggested. This makes it harder to squeeze out of a sports bottle, so I switch to a syringe or long-nippled bottle.
I add 3–5 drops of clove essential oil depending on the batch size. Clove has analgesic (but not numbing), anti-infectious, and antiparasitic properties. It also gives a pleasant scent, and since it has antiseptic properties, it allows me to keep my lube for 5–7 days (when I haven't been too greedy 🤣).

Preparation method for powdered lubes:

Use a heat-resistant container
Dilute in fairly hot—but not boiling—water
Shake vigorously for about one minute
Let it sit for about 20 minutes
Shake vigorously again for about one minute

Plan ahead! Prepare your lube while you shower so it's ready when you are.

Of course, if you can't be bothered with all that...

I get it—sometimes you just want to grab and go. No mixing, no waiting, no syringes, no guessing if you got the ratio right.

That's where GreedyGrease comes in.

My friends at GC (Greedy Cluster) have done the work for us. Their Gold Cream and Silver Lotion deliver that same "thick, slippery, long-lasting" performance I chase with my DIY mixes—but in a bottle, ready when you are.

Gold Cream = that rich, cushioned, slow-glide feel I love for deep sessions
Silver Lotion = silky, lightweight, perfect for daily plug wear or quick warm-ups

Same oil-based longevity. Same silky, stretchable texture. Zero prep time.

I still enjoy tinkering with my powders when I'm in the mood. But honestly? GC's lube has become my reliable shortcut when I just want to get to the fun part.

The Cleanup Hack Nobody Told You About

As I mentioned, powdered lubricants are notoriously difficult to clean up. Here's my discovery: salt water helps remove residue much faster. I live near the sea and discovered this by accident. Now I always keep a small bottle of salt water in the shower to remove any lube residue from my skin when I've used too much. Never use it internally though.
