K-Y Jelly was original created in 1917 for medical use. It was a first choice among doctors over petroleum-based products, due to its natural base ingredients (carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium alginate and EDTA).
It wasn't until later that it was employed as a sex lubricant (it has been available OTC since 1980).
