10 Practical Alternative Uses For Lube (Other Than Sex)

If you’re worrying you’re not using your lube enough (except for sexy time), we’ve got good news! You’ve got tons of other uses for lube other than sex! 

If you’ve just opened your lube for, well, an obvious reason and still have lots left, you can make use of it in other ways rather than wait till your next bedroom rodeo, which sometimes could happen again just before your lube’s use-by date. Ugh!

So, there’s a whole lot more than meets the eye (or hands) with your lube. Check these out!

1. Use it as a Shave Gel for Shaving Your Legs

Just as it does when he’s “checking the oil”, lube is also great for smoothing your legs when shaving. Water-based and silicone-based lubes are best for a smoother shave.

2. Prevent Chafing on Your Inner Thighs

You can use lube to prevent chafing on your inner thighs, upper arms and nipples especially during long workouts.

3. Use it as a Makeup Remover

If you have no makeup remover, it’s still possible for your waterproof makeup to be removed! Just get the lube, rub some on all parts of your face and voila! You’re now makeup-free!

4. Running Out of Lip Gloss? Rub Some Lube on Your Lips

Use water-based lube as a lip gloss alternative.

5. Tame Your Frizzy and Tangled Hair

This is every girl’s enemy – fly-aways and frizzy, tangled hair! Ugh! So if you’ve got no time to buy your favourite styling cream, pomade, or hairspray, but you have some lube in your drawer, well, you can take it out, apply some on your hair and your hair will be as shiny and sleek as you want it to be!

6. Help Remove Price Stickers From Products Easily

Sticky price stickers suck! You run the risk of chipping your nails just to get that damn price off the product. So, to make it easier, get your lube to help remove the goo. Spread the lubricant on the sticker, let it sit for a while, then peel the sticker right off. Easy peasy!

7. Make a Stuck Zipper Work Again

If your zipper got stuck (again), put some lube to get the zipper to work again.

8. Use it as a Shoe Polisher

You can make your shoes shiny without using a shoe polisher. Your lube can do it all in a zap!

9. Use it to Easily Take Off Your Ring Stuck on Your Finger

When you either ate too much the past few weeks that your finger began to swell or it’s just the warmer months, which also make your finger a lot bigger, and got your ring stuck on your finger, well, before you attempt to break your ring, try applying ice to your finger first to lessen the swelling then put on some water-based lube around your finger and slowly ease the ring off your finger. Don’t use soap since it can dry your skin, making it even harder to take your ring off.

10. Use it as an Ice Pack

If you don’t have ice packs, you can put your lube in one ziplock bag and freeze to make a soft gel ice pack.
