Liquid Gel on Shabbat

Question

Is it permissible to use a water-based lubricant gel that is relatively liquid on Shabbat?

Answer

Hello,

It is difficult to answer a general definition of 'relatively liquid'.

The rule is that if it does not flow when placed on a surface, it should not be used.

If it flows but is only oily, it is permitted.
