Chrissy, You are going to be inserting these items into VERY sensitive tissue. Rectal tissue is NOT skin -- it is mucous membrane, and is VERY sensitive to chemicals. These chemicals can also destroy the very delicate balance of intestinal flora that inhabit the rectum -- especially if you are planning on regularly using internal cleansing methods to deal with excrement prior to insertion of your anal plugs. With this in mind, I would say that "cheap" is the LAST thing you want. What you want (and need) is a quality lubricant that will prevent tears in the delicate mucous membrane of the rectum, and that will not destroy the balance of flora or the chemical/mucous production in and around the rectal tissue, that will lubricate sufficiently to prevent prolapse and/or increased risk of hemorrhoids, and that will protect your toys and minimize damage to the toys that would result in microscopic (or even visible) tears to the material or nicks, etc, where bacteria can build up. With that in mind, I'm going to recommend Pjur and Pjur Aqua lubricants. Pjur is a taste-free, fragrance-free silicone lubricant, and Pjur Aqua is a water and glycerin-based lubricant. Both of these should be safe for use with your toys, and safe for your body, and are the MINIMUM that I would recommend for safe rectal play. If you decide that you are willing to make a -real- investment in your health while doing long-term anal play, I would strongly recommend that you switch to a lubricant called Carrageenan. It is water-based, silicone and glycerine free (use of silicone, petroleum products, and/or glycerine in women can increase the incidence of yeast infections), and it is pH balanced to not disrupt the natural state of your mucous membranes. It is also single-use pump packaged, so you don't have to worry about getting e-coli in your lubricant accidentally. At $11.00 for 100 uses, it is a sensible purchase (that's 1.1 cents per use). Think about it -- this is the ONLY body you'll have, and I'm sure you'll want to use your rectum until the day that you die. Calla
