I live in an area full to the brim with drug stores. Ironically, though, I do most of my lubricant purchasing on line. In the course of my research I have been seeing some conflicting reports about how lubricant is stocked in drug stores. Some people were bemoaning the lack or inaccessibility of the lubricant (behind not only the counter but lock and key in one instance). Others seemed shocked and appalled to find that lubricant had shown up in there drugstore in the first place. Today I decided to visit 5 drug stores and give myself 3 minutes to walk through them and see if I could find any lubricant. The idea of the time limit being to see how out of the way the lubricant had been placed. I found lubricant in 1 out of 5. Maybe my time limit was too short. The one I found it in was the last one, and I feel I was able to find it because I’d been learning a lot about drug store topography that day. Or maybe the first 4 just didn’t carry any. I’ll be investigating further soon.

This morning I was perusing the popular (and, according a highly informal study by this blog, the cheapest) on-line personal lubricant store, cheaplubes.com. They list their best selling products on the website, and I was surprised to see how many of these top-selling items are single-use or sample size-products. I’ve written about single-use and sample-size products a number of times in various contexts, so it’s heartening to see I’m not the only one out there interested in them. I suspect the reason for their popularity is that people want to keep intimacy fresh, so they use these “small servings” to experiment with different lubricants and the novel experience each one offers, which to me makes a lot of sense.
