    No, snail mucin is very expensive and mostly used for skincare. It would be idiotic to pay that amount of money just for lube.

      Oh, I don’t mean that I’m planning to harvest the little fuckers in my garden. I’m just curious if the substance has any properties that would make it completely useless or dangerous.

      I was trying to wash it off my hands and noticed I had to give it a good scrub, but it was still slimy until it was all gone.

        It has been shown to reduce wrinkles and fade acne scars and such.

        I’m not sure about it’s effects when used on a mucus membrane like the vaginal walls.
