I have set all my new tops up with Preston slip natural latex I was also wondering about lubes, and what effect they would have on the latex from a degrading point of veiw,

I purchased some polemaster slick thinking it was silicone milk, it lubes the latex ok but I think its a soap based lube which im not keen on I need to test this to be sure of its makeup unless someone knows,

One thing is for sure don't use oil based lubes on latex it will break down the latex in a very short time.
