People enjoy using "sounds" for the pleasurable sensations felt while being inserted. However, some people find silicone-based lubes to be a bit harder to clean up. Ultimately, a water- or silicone-based, glycerin-free lube with a thin consistency will probably work best for "sounding." Silicone-based lubes are longer lasting, but water-based lubes may have a thinner consistency. Sugars also can be found in some types of lube, sometimes listed as glycerin in the list of ingredients. Also, sugars from the mouth can be found in saliva that may cause urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Saliva isn't generally recommended as a lubricant because it dries quickly (as you may have discovered already).

More lube and a narrower sound may be more safe and successful. If you encounter a constriction in the urethra that the "sound" will not pass through (most likely scar tissue), do not try to drive it through. Sounders use lots of lube, so the "sound" can easily slide in on its own (gentle guidance may be necessary pushing or forcing can cause tearing of the fragile tissue). While a glass thermometer may be readily available, the risk of breaking (and leaking harmful mercury) makes this a risky option. Other objects, such as thermometers, may do the trick, but metal sounds are recommended because they are easier to clean and have no chance of breaking when in use. The two most commonly used "sounds" are the Van Buren, which has a J-shaped curve on the end, and the Dittle, which is straight. Cock-stuffing, or "sounding" as it is called in the S&M community, involves inserting smooth, long, and thin surgical steel rods called "sounds" (hence the name "sounding") into a man's urethra.
