first of all - yes u can use a personal lubricant without a condom - i would suggest KY jelly or something that is similar and water based - do not use vasaline as it is petroleum based and will coat the inner walls of your vagina and not let the natural lubes come through - if u are looking for a condom and u are alergic to latex try a condom made from lambskin - i use them and once they warm up inside you they feel more natural than latex - they are available at fine pharmacies everywhere and the most popular brand is "Four-X"

Yes Personal Lubricant

Everyone already answered that, yes, you can and should. If you're extra sensitive, though, you should stay away from most of the lubes you see in drugstores. They may be water-based, but they also all contain glycerin. Putting glycerin down there is a lot like putting honey down there... you're just going to feed the yeast you naturally have, which will cause a yeast infection.
If you want a nice, light lube with a quick clean up, find a water-based lube that doesn't contain glycerin. You can order some very cheaply through Condomania:
http://secure.condomania.com/affiliates/feeder.asp?aff=?condoman&2912
Scroll down to where you see "Top Sellers: Lubes", and click on "Sliquid H20 Intimate"
I have been using that for years and it does the trick.
If you want something that's going to be really slipper, you might consider a silicone based lube. They tend to be a little messier to clean up than water-based, but you won't have the glycerin problem AND it lasts for a while so you don't have to re-apply. It feels a lot like oil but it's not, and a gentle soap in the shower will take it off.
If you want to try that out, Click on number 6 on that list, Pjur Eros Original BodyGlide. They have informative descriptions there and Lucy Lube, who can assist you in purchasing lube.
As far as latex-free condoms go, you want to search either for polyurethane or lambskin. On the main condomania page, you can click the drop down that says "By Type" and click on non-latex. Please keep in mind that a lot of condoms COME with lube, including ones like glycerin ones. While it's not the end of the world, if you're sensitive you ABSOLUTELY want to make sure that your condoms do not have nonoxyl-9 (n9) on them. It's a spermicide but it increases sensitivity and irritation and can up your risk of infection.

Yes there are lubricants out there for use without condoms. Make sure whatever lubricant you use is water based. Try KY, Astroglide, ones like that. No Vaseline or anything like that. Also, Trojan also has a line of non latex condoms. I have always used Trojans. Non latex condoms are not as effective as latex condoms but like you said you ae married.

Yes definitely! Try KY Ultra Warming Gel or Astroglide. Not sure about the condoms though...never had a problem with latex but did have problems with the spermicides they use on those things. I am no stranger to sensitive skin and the two I mentioned above gave me no problems. Have fun!

My hubby and I have not used condoms in over 15 years.
We both like Ky warming lubricant. I would not recommend
regular body lotions. They contain stuff like purfumes and alcohol which can irritate your genitals.
Unless your hubby has an STD, why are you still using condoms if your on the pill? Very interesting!

Yes, personal lubes can be used without condoms. My preferred one is "ID Glide" but there are several brands and they all work in a similar way (many get slippery again if you add water/spit to them when in use).
As for sensitive skin, read the labels...there may be some designed for that purpose...I never checked cuz it wasn't an issue for me.

Of course you can, and if you're on the pill, you probably need to.
If your skin is sensitive, I would stay away from warming lubricants and spermicidal lubricants. Astroglide is really nice and fairly cheap. Durex also makes pretty nice lubricants.

Talk with your pharmacist about the best condoms to use. They are trained professionals and can advise you.
There are many hypoallergenic vaginal lubricants on the market today. Your Doctor can advise you of ones to try.
