this is abit of a wierd question but never mind.
is it possible to use just normal hand moisturiser or vaseline instead of proper ky jelly or will it cause problems, i know it increases the risk of the condom spliting but does it cause any health worries?

KY doesn't cause irritation as it's PH Balanced and is water soluble. Hand creams will only cause irritation and possibly infection, because it irritates the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina.
Vaseline's just not recommended because it's oil based and damages condoms. Definitely go for KY.
Firstly, lotion rubs in, not... around.
And usualyl when something indicates "for exernal use only" it means don't stick it up your vagina/bum.
KY may be a bit expensive seeming for the little bottle but it lasts a long long time, you only use a couple drops each time.
Though I'm sure theres other water based "sexual lubricants" out there besides ky.
okay good pint just wondering cos i really wanna have nice sex with my boyfeidn rather than yelling at him to get off!!
Hand creams aren't really a good idea because they are not designed for such sensitive skin.
:yes:
the wetter the better :thumb:
