I think oil is much nicer to use when applying and receiving a massage but the type of oil is also important as they can vary tremendously.

My product of choice is Biotone Advance Massage Cream.  I find it to be user friendly and client friendly.  It's also water-based.  If the client is hairy-bodied, the cream allows for a better glide and prevents tangling.  If find clean-up and stains wash out of the linens easily.I have a few clients that like coconut oil.  It definitely allows for a smooth and quick glide.  Due to staining, I have a couple sets of linens specifically for oil use.  Clean-up can be an additional chore.I use a few (massage) tools-of-the-trade with some athletes to help breakup or flatten tissue.  Tools help save the hands when doing deep tissue work.~~ just sayin'

I often use olive oil on my clients (the best...as it glides easily on all body parts and safe to use...no unpleasant smell) , but some prefer using lotion, powder, or dry.

I like warmed Jajoba oil for relaxation type massage and cream for deep modalities.  Santa Barbara brand makes a butter-like balm that's excellent for deep work.

Pure coconut oil. It's good for you.

I have been using Biotone Dual Purpose Creme for several years.  It provides a great glide on all body types, especially extremely hairy bodies; helps prevent hair from 'matting'.  No fragrant lubricants whatsoever.  I use a couple of different 'nobbler' type tools for deep work.

Coconut oil is wonderful

any commercial liquid on the body is fine if it is unscented and does not get near the female genitals....

I am open to most any massage product.

♦ Cream
I do not like the feel of oil at all, it doesnt allow the skin to breathe and it stains anything it touches . Biotone massage cream is the best .

I use virgin coconut oil, unless my partner/client provides their own. I tend to shy away from products that contain petroleum ingredients or ingredients that I need to lookup in a dictionary.  After all, our skin is the biggest organ and very absorbent.

It's most important whatever I use that it be unscented, as I'm allergic to fragrances.

Lotion is good for a therapeutic massage and depending on boundaries established, for some sensual massages.  For a sensual massage with few if any boundaries an oil is better if using your body in the massage as it helps in the sliding movement of your body against theirs.

Oil is the best for body massage. I use other stuff when doing my natural facials.
