NOPE, The silicone lube can be used in the bathtub... You're thinking of the old water based KY... That doesn't last at all.. This silicone lube is very long lasting and needs soap to get most of it off..

Ya gotta love a thread that discusses the virtues of different types of lubes, while managing to stay PG!

Last I heard, they stopped making it in the USA ... not sure why ... when my dive shop told me they were discontinuing the product, I stocked up ...

Well, after a lot of heavy lifting and other sport related things, I finally wore out a hip. Got that replaced two years ago.

I had a hip replacement in 2015; have had a very similar experience: the joint pain is gone, but pain and stiffness in that hip related to, as far as I can tell, all the disruption to get in there and do the bone replacement, is a continuing ongoing effort. And getting that fin off has been a challenge particularly on my drift dives from Jupiter/West Palm this winter with the boat rocking and rolling in the swells.

Started researching these lubricants, but I'm way too amused and following way too many threads to get anywhere with that. Lunch break is over; back on my head.

I thought it was going to be about opioids. Instead it's about lube. I'll just go back to my hole now.
