Genius idea! I've found Vaseline to be less than ideal for running, and "personal lubricants" dry out much too quickly. I hadn't considered using industrial lubricants. Pretty much everyone who uses WD-40 for mechanical work ends up getting it on their skin (and probably inhaling a good amount), so I'm sure it's fine for limited exposure.
- dartos 2y agoYeah but one’s balls are pretty sensitive to topicals.
- wiredfool 2y agoWD-40 isn't really a lubricant, it's more like a de-greaser and water remover.
- singleshot_ 2y agoWater displacer, hence the name, right?
- analog31 2y agoIt's a mixture of light mineral spirits and mineral oil. Oil displaces water, who knew?
- anamexis 2y agoIt is a lubricant. There's a lot of confusion around this because it often isn't a great lubricant for the purposes it gets used for, like door hinges or bicycle parts. But it most definitely is a lubricant. https://www.wd40.com/myths-legends-fun-facts/ https://www.wd40.com/myths-legends-fun-facts/
- nasmorn 2y agoYeah I hate Vaseline too and normally use a stick called BodyGlide which just creates a thin coat. Vaseline was the only thing I could buy in the village and now I know WD-40 can work in a pinch
- dubcanada 2y agoWhat you really want is somewhere between corn starch and lubricants, like gold bond friction stick.
