Gay friendly drug store recommendations Bangkok

Recommended Posts

Hi I wonder if there any drug store/pharmacy in Bangkok, where I can get some condoms (preferably SKYN brand) and also silicone base lube in pocket size packs.

 

If you know rough estimate price as well, would be great!

 

Thanks in advance :)

every 7/11 or family Mart will carry those prominently displayed by the cash registers, no need to look for pharmacy, plenty of those as well.

 

In Silom / Patpong / Suriwiong area this is last of your worries and absolutely no need to be shy , they saw it all , most likely in the last 15 minutes

Silicone based lube is pretty rare in Thailand, so you are better off to bring your own

Pocket sized packs of any lube are also rare... except the water based ones that they issue in the gay saunas and safe sex packs - which have the consistency of marmalade or jam and are awful to use!

Silicone lube, being synthetic, has better lubricating properties in preventing poor fitting condoms from snagging, so that the ride is smoother. I suspect that the Japanese porn industry uses it a lot, sometimes in copious amount and also while barebacking.

I go along with Colman. Silicone lube is very messy and you will not make friends of hotel staff if it gets onto the bed sheets. Thai boys are sometimes careless and squirt the stuff all over and use excessive quantities especially if they are about to be topped.

Standard KY Is my choice although you can get through a lot if you repeatedly apply.

There is a certain etiquette, just like when taking afternoon tea, to follow when using silicone.

1. Do not rush. Squeeze gently the bottom of the tube (like you would a toothpaste tube ) to prevent spillage. Replace the cap securely.

2. Take your time and place it evenly where it belongs. Use sparingly as it is already fluid.

3. Place à large towel on the bed to trap excess liquid, and which will be useful for the apres cleaning up.

4. Use the towel to dab excess from parts of the private parts. A wiping action is considered uncouth.

5. Place the unused tube in a secure toiletry bag after the act is done. Clean or dispose the paraphernalia used during the act appropriately.

I use the sachets of lube that are provided by saunas. A bit too liquid for my taste (figuratively), about half of it is lost by dripping. I never had problems to get it out of bed linen in washing machine.

 

What I don't like is the smell (not a bad smell, close to indifferent), that sticks to my fingers, even after washing or showering, and stays for hours.

 

anddy: [silicone based lube] also, it lasts longer because, unlike water-based lube, it doesn't dry out

 

I was wondering what you meant. You mean storage, not usage?
