Suggest A Safe Lubricant That Can Be Used Along With Condom
Hi doctor, could you please recommend a lubricant that's safe to use with the condom for smooth insertion? I've heard water based lubricants are safe since they do not affect the condom. Please suggest a name. I stay in Bangalore so it should be available here
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. Most of lubricants that are available in market are oil based and though they provide good lubrication but they are not very safe if we compare them with water or gel based lubricants. Some lubricants are considered as safe and can be used with condoms also. Even lubricated condoms are available and you can consider using them. KY jelly manufactured by Johnson's and Johnson's is a water based lubrication agent that can be used for vaginal lubrication. Even saliva is considered as a good lubricating agent but individual should be free of infection in oral cavity to use saliva as lubrication agent.
