It is marketed at most drug stores/pharmacies as KY jelly / medical lubricant. But as someone else said Astroglide is the way forward, albeit a little on the pricey side in Korea.

I've seen KY (the real stuff) at the red door in Iteawon. Not sure about the price.

Hey, as a former sexual education counselor for 5 years, you should not use any cooking oils.
Bound to cause yeast infection and many other nasty consequences.

If all else fails, water is a relatively inexpensive alternative. Most lubes are water based anyways. You'll just have to apply it more often than with regular lubes

Also, please do not use any flavored lubes unless it's for external purposes.

You can easily find lubes in the pharmacies and even big supermarkets.
Lube is also used for people who have skin problems, as well as rectal or vaginal problems. So if you're worried about being judged, just say you have skin problems and that you can only use that specific jelly.

hope that helps and good luck

Astroglide, which I've heard described as the "best" lube is ridiculously expensive here. In condomania it's W20,000 for 1oz. I'd recommend buying things on the internet and having them sent here if possible.

[pidgin]

For astroglide maybe, but no need to go to all that trouble to have "things" sent over when there are supply shops and K-based online shops.

SqueakyBuddha is right, Red Door has KY.

Pidgin and others are right, pharmacies sell "surgical lubricant" in a big tube.

WAIT. Big heads up on my previous post. If you want Astroglide get it from Amazon. The above company is ten times more expensive.

It's good to see this old thread be revived.
