I want to give my boyfriend a massage tonight when i go over BUT since we're using condoms when we have sex i guess igotta be careful with what i massage him with..??
I obviously havent got time to go out and buy something from ann summers, but he goes away tomorrow so i wanted to do something a little bit different.
can i use like a body moisturiser? or would that have the same effect as baby oil? is there a certain chemical i should be looking out for...??
if not i suppose i should think of some other way... :chin:

sounds like a plan to me!!
Personally, I would recommend talc
Plus, with waterbased, they say that for lube, things going on the condom. Moisturizer is fine.
I ment have a shower inbetween. I forgot to type that part, thought I did.
Are you on the contraceptive pill? It's normally a good idea for young women to take a secondary form of contraception.
The "test" that Carriage Return suggested isn't a good one since the damage can be microscopic but hopefully they were only joking.
The mechanical stress at the suggested inflation is also quite high, and I would expect it to approximate to the stresses experienced a condom in normal use. (most noticably absent is the constant mechanical action and heat)
I could be wrong, but I've not knowingly had a condom failure; while pregnancy isn't an issue for me, infection is. I would be interested to discover a sustance that compromises a condom when encountered in trace amounts, but would pass the test I proposed.

My concern with this is to my knowlege polyurethane has only been tested with respect to pregnancy, not STIs. Hmm, perhaps I should AskTheSite
I remain confident in the test as proposed to test wether something is safe to be used in the sex setting, but not as a lubricant.
It is my firm belief, that a substance, when applied liberally to the surface an inflated condom, fails to weaken that surface to the point of a noticable deflation, wont, when applied in a trace amount (with 99% certainty) won't cause sufficent damage to allow a virus to pass.
name on substance that will, in trace amounts, cause suffient damage to a condom to make it unsafe, that passes my test.
I readily acknowlege that I'll get false positives, and that the test isn't 100%, however I assert you're more likely to be infected/impregnated by somthing transfered from the penis to the outside of the condom by the hands putting it on, than by something passing through it.
