EEEEEK!! No! Bad bad! Never use anything oil or petroleum based as a lube. Not only does it break down latex making a condom a moot point, but it's bad for the health of your vagina. Oil and petroleum based products can cause infection by not being able to rinse or wash with soap and water. It kills the good bacteria that supposed to keep your vagina healthy. Plus, it's just plain messy. Water based are best.
If you are looking for something that's super smooth and very slick inna lube, I suggest a lube with a touch of silicon. A little goes along way and does not get sticky. Careful, it can stain bedding and clothing and will stay slick underwater, making it ideal for some underwater fun or the shower. General purpose lube? Astroglide, Wet, and ID are the best. KY is good for toy play but does not have the staying power fo the others. All lubes suggested are safe to use with condoms and toys and clean up easily with water.
You should be able to find Wet and Astroglide at your local drug store next pregnancy tests and condoms. ID can be found in almost any sex shop or on line store. Have fun try ing them. You will know when one really works for you.

I would just stick with a water based product. You will want also avoid anything with glycerin as that is a sugar and it can feed yeast infections also. Water based is the safest and is condom compatible and will not stain your bedding.
I sell a great product that you can get at Drugstore.com or by simply calling 1-800-759-7883
We will ship our product in a discreet package and will also include some more info. We are an FDA approved lube. I hope this helps.

Mineral Oil isn't a good idea as it actually has drying qualities! It won't hurt if you use it, but it's not a good idea as it (like petroleum jelly) deteriorates rubber. Anything petroleum-based isn't a good idea on the human body anyway.
If you're stuck for something that won't do any harm, try olive oil or vitamin E cream.

No, Mineral oil is think and will cause friction. Stick to the products (such as KY) on the shelf at your local drug store and/or adult shops.

I don't see how it could hurt you, you can put it anywhere on your body and it can be used on babies. Although for condoms it is recommended to use a water based lubricant. I personally recommend KYjelly. Vaseline is not bad as long as there is no condom.

No. However, it would break down the latex condom I'm sure you are using and cause possible pregnancy and/or transmission of veneral diseases (STD's) so try getting a water based lubricant, ok?

Mineral oil is ok. I stick of butter works best. Don't use all of it you might want popcorn later.

You can but it will deteriorate condoms so you run a risk of pregnancy and STD's. Vaseline is not water-soluble so it can keep nasty germs inside of you till you have real problems. Why not use K-Y Jelly....that is what it is for.

I think it would soak in too much. Best to stay with KY or another similar product intended for lubrication
