Lube

    Best Travel-Friendly Lubes for Gay Men

    Check out the lubes that are TSA compliant and won't stain the sheets

    Traveling opens up so many opportunities for gay men. There’s nothing quite like opening your preferred hookup app in a new city, only to be bombarded with messages from thirsty locals. If you have your own hotel room in the center of town, the world is (for a brief period) your oyster. It’s a good job the sheets get changed daily in hotels!

    Supposing you’re not on the apps, you may find some passing trade in a bar and bring them to your hotel. Having the right lube to hand is essential to making the encounter - and route to your insides - run smoothly.

    When traveling, it's essential to pack compact, practical lubes that comply with TSA regulations and are easy to use.

    1. Durex Play Feel Water-Based Lube

    This TSA-friendly 50ml bottle is perfect for travel. It’s water-based, non-staining, and easy to clean, making it ideal for hotel stays without worrying about sheets.

    2. Astroglide X Silicone Gel

    This silicone-based lube provides long-lasting performance in a compact, travel-sized bottle. It's ideal for extended sessions but requires careful use to avoid staining.

    3. Gun Oil Travel Lube

    Designed for convenience, Gun Oil’s travel packs are discreet and perfect for any travel scenario. They’re easy to carry, mess-free, and effective for smooth encounters.

    4. Pjur Original 100ml Bottle

    This silicone lube offers long-lasting slickness, perfect for extended sessions. The 100ml bottle is travel-friendly, but be cautious on hotel sheets due to its silicone base.

This water-based lube is gentle on sensitive skin and safe to use with condoms and all types of toys, making it ideal for packing in your travel kit. Its lightweight, non-staining formula ensures no mess on hotel sheets, and it's easy to clean up. Available in travel-sized bottles, Sliquid H2O provides a smooth, natural feel, perfect for keeping things slick and comfortable while on the go.

    Travel Tips:

    • Always choose 100ml or smaller bottles for carry-on luggage.
