Looking at any interesting effects of propylene glycol in vaginal lubricants I stumbled upon this study. Then I found it isn't the only one pointing to hyperosmolal lubes causing damage to the epithelium either.

Translation: some lubricants can damage the skin barrier, increasing the risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Right?

OP should probably simplify the title.

I understood some of those words

So Hawk Tuah is better than lube?

Coconut oil is the best we've ever tried so far.

I honestly didn't expect a thoughtful response. My faith in humanity has slightly increased until I go to work and have to write up a complaint regarding two dumbass coworkers.

Is it safe to use with a condom?

'tis not, like others said. Rolling with pullout for 20 years, been working so far. ๐Ÿ˜…

Probably not.

We just use baby oil or, more commonly, coconut oil. Coconut oil is so juicy and lubey and stays lubed for a long time, even when exposed to air. One tablespoon is enough for a very large area as well. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Coconut oil works great if you don't regularly cook with coconut milk. If you do, the association between the two becomes unpleasant.
