I wonder if they'll come out in a six-pack.
Call me a traitor to the Brotherhood of Adult Store Clerks local 360, but I just don't understand some products now and again.
Off the top of my head, there is the One Shot by California Exotic Novelties. Usage is incredibly straight forward. You grab the soda-can sized canister, pop the lid, peel the sticker off the ventilator, and show that hunk of rubber and plastic "who's da man". Long as you remember to retrieve the tube of lube they thoughtfully pack inside it for you, it shouldn't be painful experience. It's not the functional aspect that has me baffled. What I want to know is why someone would want to kick out the money for something that's designed to only be used once.
You could buy a bottle of lube and rock out with your bad self a dozen times over for about what you'd be spending on the One Shot or its ilk. It's not like silicone or flesh-like rubber masturbators are so prohibitively expensive as to be out of reach.
Obviously, they do sell or they wouldn't be on the market with several clones by other companies. I guess not having to clean or take care of a toy is worth it to some.
Of course, if there is something in the store that has at least one logical rationale behind it, even if it is just plain user-laziness, there is one product we have that totally defies all coherent thought; silicone Moist lube.
I don't know who the brain-trust that came up with this winner was, but I'm astounded it made it into production. As you would guess by the name, it is indeed a silicone-based lube. However, in addition to Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, and Dimethiconol the last ingredient is MINERAL OIL.
OK, let me get this straight. Silicone lubes came out because people wanted something latex and condom compatible that lasted longer than a water-based lubricant usually does. Silicone does not break down. It won't evaporate away. So what do you do? You add in some oil. What is the strength of oil-based? It doesn't evaporate and stays slick. Hmmm, sounds superfluous to me when it already has silicone.
But I shouldn't be so harsh against it. It's so versatile. It can be used with silicone toys... oh right, it has silicone so that's right out. It can be used with condoms or latex... oh right, it has oil so that's right out. Yes indeed. This is a super-slick lube designed to be completely unsuited to any use outside of bare skin boinking.
I can't imagine why it's not selling off our shelves by the gallon.
