Mum’s extreme ‘parenting hack’ using lube for homemade slip ‘n’ slide

A mum-of-five has shared her extreme 'parenting hack' – using Ann Summers lube to create a homemade slip 'n' slide.

Lisa Burgin and her family had been playing in the garden with her youngest son Charlie, eight, at the weekend when he was eager to cool down.

After trying to make a Slip 'n' Slide with a sheet of plastic, water and washing up liquid, Charlie wanted to go faster.

So 39-year-old Lisa cheekily thought of an adult alternative for added slipperiness – her bottle of Silicone Satin 'Long Lasting' Lube from Ann Summers, which she squirted over the plastic.

Although it improved Charlie's speed, the cheeky mum decided to go one step further and then smothered her son himself with the gel too.

In the clip, Charlie shouts 'it hurts when you go down… it's so sticky' as the adults laugh at the double entendre.

The sales assistant shared hilarious photos of her antics with this cheeky caption as a way to have a dig at her two ex-husbands: "So yesterday this might have happened.


"That's one way of using it seen as though I actually fancy my boyfriend this time."

Lisa, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said: "It was an in-joke between us adults.

"They thought it was hysterical and were impressed by my creativity.

"We tried washing up liquid and that didn't quite work, so joking with my partner, I said 'I know what we've got upstairs unused'.

"The lube was a free gift from Ann Summers. Me and my partner said we'd leave the Slip 'n Slide out and have a go on it later that night but we never did.


"When I told my friends what I'd done they were howling with laughter.

"We'll definitely be saving the pictures for Charlie's 18th so we can embarrass him."

Lisa had had the bottle of lube sitting in her bedroom for months before she found the perfect use for it.

When her older kids asked, mortified, where she'd got it from, she joked it was from her son's own bedroom.

Lisa said: "Charlie was pestering to play in the garden so we used some plastic sheets from the garage to make the slip 'n' slide.

"At first we pumped some of the lube on the plastic sheeting, then used the hosepipe, but that didn't work too well. Then we put it on Charlie himself.
