For those who are trying to get pregnant, Caitlin V. offers a caveat for DIY alternatives like olive, vegetable, or coconut oil: "Oil-based lubes may also slow down sperm, so they're best to avoid if you are trying to conceive. And, they can stain your sheets." There’s a whole world out there of personal lubricants that come in any texture, taste, and sensation you could think of. With the wide variety of options, it can be difficult to know which lube is the right one for your body, and which products to get.

For condoms: It's oil, so no latex. "Keep in mind that polyurethane and polyisoprene are effective against most STIs, and lambskin condoms are effective against pregnancy but not all STIs," Caitlin V. adds.Chauhan, P. S., & Chhibber, V. K. (2013). Non-edible oil as a source of bio-lubricant for industrial applications: A review. Int J Eng Sci Innov Technol, 2, 299–305. Another warning: whatever type of homemade lube you make, don’t expect to be able to keep it around for weeks or months like you do with commercial lube. Even if you store your homemade stuff in a cool and dry place such as a cupboard, the container becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Plus, without any kind of preservative it’ll go bad fast. It’s safe to make your own lube–but use it within a couple of days at the most. Yogurt. While this may seem like more of an odd/desperate option, yogurt is perfectly fine to use, as long as you steer clear of the flavored kinds such as strawberry and vanilla. You should also make sure it’s sugar free; only use plain, organic, sugar free yogurt if you have any around. Kalam, M. A., Masjuki, H. H., Varman, M., & Liaquat, A. M. (2011, November).

Vegetable oils have a huge potential as bio-lubricants, but they are not generally commercialized due to their high heterogeneity and other undesirable physical characteristics, such as poor oxidation stability and low temperature properties. The natural oils are composed of fatty acids that are derived from triacyl-glyceride molecules, which contain glycerol. The presence of glycerol in the natural oils gives rise to a tertiary β-hydrogen (secondary hydrogen) attached to the β-carbon (secondary carbon) of the functional hydroxyl group. The unsaturated fatty acids which consist of β-hydrogen, which is known to have oxidative instability, are what causes the rapid oxidation of natural oils, commonly known as autoxidation. Hence, there is a need to alter the physico-chemical qualities of vegetable oils via different chemical pathways to improve critical properties such as oxidative stability, biodegradability, thereby retaining and even enhancing certain properties to suit various uses. The most common ways for altering vegetable oils are transesterification/esterification processes, epoxidation, hydrogenation, and estolide synthesis. (Salih et al., 2012). A transesterification reaction occurs when an ester's organic group reacts with its alcohol's organic group. An acid or base catalyst is often added to catalyze the reaction. During epoxidation, the carbon–carbon double bond is converted into oxiranes (epoxides) by hydrogen peroxide, organic peroxides, etc.

#LubeLife Mint Chocolate Chip-Flavored Lubricant

All our flavored lubes are water-based, and perfect lubricants for condom use! This makes oral sex with a condom or dental dam extra delicious. You’re good to grab one of these bottles to use with natural latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms. Toy Around a Little For condoms: Safe. "Make sure to choose a product that’s 100 percent aloe or designed specifically as a sexual lubricant," Caitlin V. says. And, of course, "those who are allergic should avoid aloe-based lubricants." You do not use products that contain any kind of glycerin or sugar, as this can increase your likelihood of having a yeast infection
