As a follow up to my Lubricated Condoms post, I wanted to focus on Aqua Lube. The interesting thing about Aqua Lube is that it was such a successful aspect of the Kimono brand condom that it was spun off as its own discrete product. As you may know, Kimono is branded as an ultra thin condom, and yet ultra thin though a condom may be, it’s telling to note that the quality of the lubricant is clearly also something that is very much on consumers’ minds.

Searching for interesting smaller brand lubricants—indy lubes, if you will—I came across Gun Oil. Seemed pretty gimmicky at first, until I read the purported backstory. Apparently its genesis is was in Operation Desert Storm and involves actual gun oil used as masturbation enhancer. One wonders if this is a marketing gimmick or the real deal, but either way it makes for interesting “lube lore.”
