Thread: Tight monofin foot pockets

  1. #1

    Tight monofin foot pockets

    Help please,
    my monfin foot pockets are a tight fit and with them inside my tail its nigh to impossible to get my heels tucked into the pockets.
    Will the same lubes, oils, or lotions that are used to lube tails work for a monofin as well?
    Do I need to lube just my feet the fins or both?

    My Foil has tight foot pockets. I've been wearing them when I'm on the computer. I wear sports socks with them to help stretch it even more. They are not as tight as the first day I received them.

    Or a sex toy shop. Probably at a drugstore if you're desperate.

    As long as it doesnt bother you, most adult lube is waterbased and available pretty much everywhere. Adult stores are open pretty late too and would be open after you were done work. Pharmacies and lots of grocery type stores have a small selection as well.

    actually yeah...Gun Oil is an adult lubricant that I have used recently to get my feet into my new Minos Monofin. I have wide feet so sadly, I am not able to find monofins that have a wide set foot pocket.

    I finally made myself go buy a separate cheaper bottle for my fins because the stuff I had on hand was expensive and I felt like using it on my feet was a waste.

    do y'all lube your feet and the monofin or just your feet?

    I do both. Find it easier if you squirt a bit into the footpockets.

    I'd like to avoid it if possible, I'm going to try some lotion and/or conditioner tonight and if that doesn't work I'll look at Walgreens

    Are the pockets rubber or something else? Because you could use coconut or olive oil.

    i believe they are rubber

    Alright, I'd stick with something water based then.

    You can find lube at your local CVS, Walgreens or Rite aid! If you live in Canada check Shoppers or if you're in England go to Boots! They all have lube!
