Is it safe to use baby oil as lube for sex?

[Anonymous]

Just a simple question: just wanna make sure its safe to use on the condom

No, oil based lubricants are not safe to use during sexual intercourse. This is because it leaves your body prone to bacteria and ultimately infection.

If you want a good lubricant, find a water based lubricant. Oil or silicone based lubes will break down any latex in condoms as well as any silicone on a toy you are using. Water based lubes are the best way to go.

Thats what I thought...I was reading smth online about using baby oil as a lubricant which made me ask this ?...

If neither of you is allergic to it, it should be fine. However a natural oil like grapeseed or jojoba might be less likely to cause irritation.

HOWEVER: it's important to know that oil can damage condoms and make them less effective. Therefore, if you are using condoms as birth control or protection from STDs, it is NOT safe to use any type of oil.

It is absolutely NOT find. It will completely mess up the environment in your vagina. NEVER EVER use anything but items specifically sold as lubricants that you can find at your pharmacy!

It really depends. Natural options can be okay as long as you're careful. Personally I'm a lot more scared about putting something full of unnatural ingredients in there than something simple like olive oil that I know won't hurt me. I wouldn't use baby oil because I think it does contain it does contain a lot of ingredients that might not be natural. But many oils are harmless and actually good for the skin. A lot of pharmacy items can be harsh and actually worse for you.

If you're someone who stands by western medicine type things I understand why you feel this way. But I go the natural route and it works well for me, and for a lot of people.

Don't use baby oil with condom, baby oil can break the condom and you will have a baby 100% sure.

The condoms you buy don't come pre-lubed?

[katiesmuff]

Put only oils made to go into the vagina in that hole.

That doesn't even sound pleasurable. Why not just go out and buy some lube?

[Asker]

Will do...

The oil will harm the latex and potentially cause the condom to break. Try something water-based.
