A buddy of mine was still doing this in 2015

Not because I don’t believe you, but because I actually do, but are there sources I can use? This is the first I’ve heard (read) this.

Is this a thing, really?

Big surprise /s

I personally prefer silicone-based lube for back door play. Lasts a LOT longer, doesn’t get sticky (can get dry, but nowhere near as quickly as water-based, in which case, just apply more lube,) and the overall glide just feels better imo. Clean-up is a little bit more intensive. Just a light scrub with soap and warm water, instead of a quick rinse or wipe. Toy play is a good warm-up. Just make sure your toy is specifically compatible with silicone-based lube or else you risk major problems.

Sync can sometimes be buggy upon new updates, but it is, by far, the best in terms of customization. AFAIK LJD is still a lone dev for the app, so understandably, there are some gaps before major updates if the app isn’t running well. He just rolled out a lot of major fixes, and I’m happier than ever. It’s definitely worth a try. There are a lot of settings to play with. Don’t just dismiss it overnight.
