It is one of the most talked about creams in the category, and the reasons are concrete. It is oil based so it does not dry out, it melts at body temperature into a cushioned glide, it stays where you put it instead of running, and it comes in a generous 270 ml jar. Best is subjective, but if you specifically want a cream rather than a liquid lubricant, and longevity is what you care about, it is a leading pick. The one hard limitation is that it cannot be used with condoms.

An oil based cream, generally, because there is no water in it to evaporate and no need to keep reapplying. Dick Polish is formulated for exactly this: it melts at body temperature, holds its position rather than running off, and keeps working for as long as you do. Because it is oil based it is not condom compatible, so it is strictly a solo option.

Consistency and staying power. A lubricant is a liquid or gel that spreads thin and, if it is water based, gradually evaporates. A cream like Dick Polish starts solid, melts on contact with skin, and stays where it was applied with a thicker cushion. The trade off is compatibility: this cream is oil based, so it cannot be used with latex condoms, while most lubricants can.

No. Dick Polish is an oil based cream and oil degrades latex, so it is not condom compatible. Use a water based lubricant if you need condom safety.

Less than you would use of a liquid lubricant. It is a concentrated cream that melts and spreads on contact, so start small and add only if you want more.

Soap and warm water. It is oil based, so plain water alone will not lift it.
