I like the astroglide gel and the platinum, but platinum feels like it’s leaves a film on me.
It depends on what you're using it for...
For masturbation, the silicone lubes (like Platinum) have the advantage of not drying out like water-based lubes but they will cause spots on fabrics and sheets that can take some work to get out. For anal sex, including dildos, silicone lubes are a bit thin and the silicone can damage toys that are silicone-based. There's a product called Wicked Cream that you can find in some sex shops that is plant-based and starts as a thick cream that thins as it warms up.
For anal play, Elbow Grease, Boy Butter and Swiss Navy have a thicker products that stay where you put them and provide more lubrication than the thinner "liquid" lubes. Elbow Grease is oil-based (not safe to use with latex products including condoms). Boy Butter blue products are water-based and the yellow products are oil-based. Swiss Navy has oil-based, water-based and silicone-based lubricants and they also have products that have natural ingredients for those who have allergies to some of the regular lubes.
One unique product that is popular is called "Spunk" that is also available in sex shops. It's a blend of water-based and silicon-based lube.
Some of the regular stores (like CVS and Target) in cities are carrying more lube options but they tend to be more geared toward straight couple unless the store is near a gay neighborhood. There used to be condom and sex shops that had a wide variety of products and they were great at making suggestions or offering "sampler packs". Unfortunately, the combination of Amazon and bareback sex has put many of these shops out of business in the past few years.
My go to lube has to be the Durex Ylang Ylang lube. Smells good, tastes good and makes bottoming so comfortable.
For hand masturbation: Albolene. It's sold as a "moisturizing cleanser" but it's simply the best masturbation lube bar none. For playing with anal toys, I'm a fan of Swiss Navy. For fucking, Pjur Eros. It's pricey, but very very good.
Can’t say that I have. I just got some master series jizz (cum lube) and I am super excited to try it! Looks awesome
