DIY Your Own Lube

Hey ladies, we all know that we make our own lube on a daily basis but sometimes you need/want more than what your body is producing. That's where making your own DIY lube comes in. Many commercial lubes use crazy, non-FDA regulated or approved, chemicals, not unlike some of the chemicals used in anti-freeze and brake fluid. Stay away from commercial lubes that contain Propylene glycol, parabens, and synthetic fragrances!

I'll be the first to admit that I often refer to my beautiful cunt as a well-oiled machine, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be putting anti-freeze or brake fluid all up in there.

Many fabulous, female-owned and oriented sex product stores like Toys in Babeland are now starting to offer new eco-friendly personal lubricants like Babeland Naturals Organic Lube and Good Clean Love.

But for the DIY-on-the-go gal such as myself, it's more fun and economical to make your own lube.

Here's what you need to do to be slipping and sliding in no time:

Ingredients
1 pot for boiling
2 cups of water
2.5 Tbsp of flax seeds (you can get this at most grocery stores or health foods stores)
20 minutes of your lovely time
a stove or hot plate for boiling

DIY-it
1 - Pour the 2 cups of water into the pot and bring to a boil on your stovetop
2 - Add the 2.5 tbsp of flax seeds to the boiling water and simmer the seeds for about 20 minutes or until the water is reduced by half
3 - Strain out the solid flax seeds immediately after 20 minutes
4 - Let your lube cool so it's safe to use and enjoy!

You can store the lube in a reusable container in your fridge for up to 2 weeks. Un-refridgerated lube should only be used for up to two days after making it.

Don't forget to give your lube a special, sexy name and if you're feeling extra crafty and foxy, a sexy label! I call mine "Doris Miller's Sexy Anti-Freeze for the Well-Oiled Machine"

For those more visual learners, Grist.org's eco-diva Umbra Fisk has a new video that shows you how it's done:

Dix in the City

6/2/09 Bikini Lounge, Phoenix

Lessons learned this week:

Having a business meeting for your porn magazine at a dive bar is not the best idea. We had barely covered going over this week's boner jamz when some Dix approached, most likely lured by the genius radiating from our booth. Instantly we began critiquing their pick up lines and suggesting improvements for future unwelcome advances.

Our friend here:



...who said his name was "Scotty Pimpin," told us the top three pick up lines that usually work for him. We now present you with:


DIX in the city PT 1: Scotty Pimpin's top 3 pantyliners


1. I don't use pick up lines.

PoolBoy says: Every dude drops this. You are not clever for trying to get some while saying you're not actually trying to get some.

2. Whut up! (changed per his request from his original, "What's up?")

PoolBoy says: Good move dropping the "s," now you seem like a really cool gangster.

And finally, after learning that we were starting a dick rag for women...

3. I read that the number one fantasy that women have is rape. I'll make your fantasy come true.

PoolBoy says: WTF. NEVER USE THIS AS YOUR PICK UP LINE.
