    You should be able to get lube in Boots. It should be in the same section as the condoms.

    Drop into outhouse - they have packs with free condoms and lube

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    As already mentioned, any pharmacy for some KY or similar.

    And most gay venues have those free 'rubber up' packs with a couple of condoms and small packets of lube. Easiest is grabbing a handful of those if you're passing PantiBar or OutHouse :)

    Lube is fairly common, no need for a sex shop visit.

    You could get in online. If you don't have a credit card you could get a prepaid credit card to order stuff.

    Any larger Tesco store as well as every chemist will sell the conventional brands (KY, Durex Play).

    As many have said.. there are lots of retailers.

    The fact that you asked makes me think that you're feeling a bit embarrassed at the idea of buying it.. you shouldn't be!

    Enjoy yourselves guys!

    Drop into outhouse, they usually have little packs with both condoms and sachets of decent lube.

    Hey thanks for the info guys,

    yeah i am embaressed buying lube for some reason, not embaressed buying condoms, but feels a bit like your saying yes I am buying this so i can have gay sex!


    I'll prob just pop into boots or sumit, and cover it up with a few other unneccesary purchases!
    Never been into outhouse or any of them so dont really know what the score is with those places.

    Thanks

    Outhouse is cool - you can just drop in have a coffee and pick up a few packs of condoms and lube - They're free - personally I haven't paid for condoms and lube in about 8 years cause I get them from outhouse or pantibar

    Boots etc really dont care! Im sure there are a few pharmacists on boards who will tell you that stuff like that rarely sticks in their heads. Also in Boots it will show on the reciept (like condoms) as "Chemist Goods".

    The only purchase a pharmacist friend remembers was a guy in his late 70's buying 12 x 12packs of durex during a 2for 1!

    Also you could be buying lube for a variety of reasons, not just gay sex - some hetero, to give kids/older people medication etc!

    The "chemists goods" is a standard function in specialist POS software for pharmacies, IIRC its just "goods" on the one my work sell mind. Don't ever expect to see condoms/lube come up as their brand name!

    The people working in Boots, and elsewhere I guess, couldn't give a toss what you buy. They'll give the same nonplussed expression whether you're buying aspirin or lube. They don't judge, don't comment, and - most importantly - don't care.
