Most of us are familiar with the concept of lubricants and how they are used during sex. They make sex of all kinds more comfortable and pleasurable, and lubes have become so popular that they’re sold beside condoms – or even packaged right in the same box. However, did you know that there is a certain lubricant that is NOT safe to use with condoms?
Oil-based lubricants sold as lubricants are generally rare, but occasionally they will be sold as accessories for massage, or as an accompaniment for male masturbation. Lubricants like these, and other personal products like baby oil and vaseline should never be used along with latex condoms – they actually cause the condoms to break.
Sometimes, you might not mean to have oil around, but can actually be putting yourself at risk by accident. Hand lotions, suntan lotions, and even yeast infection treatments can all contain oil that can compromise or destroy the integrity of a latex condom. If you must use oils of any sort, but sure to use a polyurethane (a special type of plastic) condom, which are also a good choice for those with latex allergies; these can be purchased in most major stores that sell condoms.
