Hey there

(Happy but also a little worried) I recently started using baby oil for masturbation, for like the past 3 days or so. Usually I would just masturbate dry, but I assumed lubricated was better. I read online that it was safe, but I have also come along certain articles which say it is no good. Is this harmful to the penis in any way? I hope not.

I don't really have anything else in the house to use, and I heard vaseline was not a good choice. Perhaps lubricant would be better, I was just a tad bit uncomfortable having my mother take me to CVS or something and her seeing me buy lubricant. Just felt a little embarrassed about it. Anyways, thanks for your help.
Hey,

In general, what is safe on the skin of other parts of your body will also be safe for the penis since the skin is external. That includes baby oil as well as vaseline. This is not the case for the anus and vagina (which are internal) and might be why you where seeing conflicting info!

Have you run out of your go-to sex lube and looking for a quick substitute?
A look through your pantry and bathroom cupboards may yield interesting lubricant alternatives like baby oil and other mineral oil products. But you shouldn’t just apply any product to your sensitive vagina or anus.
Bathroom staples like baby oil are useful products for moisturizing skin. But can you use baby oil as a lube ? Is it safe to use for masturbation, vaginal sex, and anal sex?
Rest assured, we’ll cover all the baby oil basics and help you determine what should (and shouldn’t) be applied down there.
Baby oil smells great, is affordable, and will make your skin feel wonderfully moisturized.
But, it’s not safe to use as a sex lube .
Why? Baby oil often contains petroleum-based mineral oil or vegetable oil , making it unsafe to use as a personal lubricant. And as it isn’t water-soluble, you can’t wash it off, which can cause skin irritation.
Moreover, it will degrade a latex condom and silicone sex toy , putting you at risk of becoming pregnant or contracting STIs.
Using a suitable personal lubricant is vital for great sexual health and balanced vaginal flora.
Here are a few reasons why you should not be reaching for that bottle of baby oil as a sexual lubricant:
Applying baby oil to the vulva (the outer part of the vaginal area) will irritate the skin as it’s sensitive to moisture and chemicals.
Some of the symptoms include burning, rash, soreness, itching, and discharge.
A study reported that women who used petroleum jelly and petroleum-based lubes were more than twice as likely to contract a vaginal infection like bacterial vaginosis than women who didn’t.
Moreover, you risk developing a yeast infection when using baby oil and similar products. And the last thing you want is to deal with a pesky and painful infection when trying to have a great time in bed. Read more: Explore the 12 Best Home Remedies for Vaginal Dryness .
A pregnancy barrier method like a diaphragm is made with silicone and latex. So, all types of oil, baby oil included, will damage the diaphragm, eventually causing it to disintegrate.
The same principle applies to latex condoms. A study found that baby oil (and other mineral oil products) will cause latex condoms to start breaking down within a minute of using it.
When a condom breaks, you risk catching a sexually transmitted infection or getting pregnant. Read more: Learn How To Lube a Condom for Perfect Penetration .
It’s best not to use baby oil with a condom as the oil makes things far too slippery. As a result, the condom is more likely to slip off during sexual activity.
A slipping condom can lead to irritation, contracting an STI, or pregnancy — just a few things you don’t want to be plagued with during the heat of the moment.
Baby oil acts as a barrier on the skin, making it tough to wash off easily, even with soap and water. You need to scrub a little to get it all off — this can lead to further skin irritation in sensitive areas.
A sex toy made of silicone, rubber, latex, or plastic will be damaged when using it with baby oil. It will ruin your sex toy and lead to a vaginal or anal injury.

The safest option for your sexual health is to use a personal lubricant specially designed for vaginal and anal sex .
Here are a few to consider for any sexual activity:
New to the world of lube? A water based lube like Coconu , K Y Jelly, Lola Personal Lubricant, or Almost Naked Organic Personal Lubricant is great if you’re just starting out.
If you want a long-lasting play session, opt for a silicone lube. It’s also ideal if you have sensitive skin as it’s less likely to cause allergic reactions.
A suitable oil based lube also works well for extended sex.

We get it. Sometimes you just need a lubricant alternative to stand in during an emergency steamy situation! Consider the following options when you’re in a pinch and out of your favorite personal lube.
Caution: Don’t use any ingredient if you are allergic to them.
You can find most of these lube alternatives in your home pantry:
Except for aloe vera gel, be mindful when using the other natural oil options with latex and silicone-based products. And remember to wash up thoroughly after playtime.

It’s important to consider both enjoyment and safety when you’re looking for products related to sex. If you’ve searched for a lubricant to use, you may have noticed that there are several options. You may have come across baby oil and wondered if it was a good choice to use as a lubricant for sex.
Lubricants can help you achieve better sex. Vaginal lubricants help make the vagina wet, which helps relieve pain and friction. You can apply them to the vagina and vulva with your hands before having sex or apply them directly to the penis or sex toy before it’s inserted. ‌
Lubricants also can improve anal sex. The anus doesn’t have enough natural lubricant, so without a lube, anal sex can be uncomfortable. You can apply lube to the anus or to the penis or toy being inserted. ‌
There are many types of lubricants available. Some people want to use lotions and other products they already have, but these can cause problems.
Can you use baby oil as lube? The short answer is no. While baby oil is safe to use on the skin as a moisturizer, it shouldn’t be used as a sexual lubricant.
Baby oil and other mineral oil products used as lubes can cause condom problems and skin irritation.
It weakens condoms . Baby oil can weaken male and female condoms . Contact with mineral oil for as little as 60 seconds lowers condom strength by 90%. The mineral oil breaks down latex and can cause the condom to break. Broken condoms cause a greater risk of unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
It weakens diaphragms. A diaphragm is a silicone or latex cup inserted into the vagina. It's a barrier method to protect against pregnancy and has to be used with a spermicide. Diaphragms do not protect from sexually transmitted infections. They are made of latex and silicone, which means that baby oil, mineral oil, and other oil-based products can damage them and stop them from working.
It irritates the vulva. The vulva is the outside part of the female genitals. This area is sensitive to chemicals and moisture. Baby oil or other mineral oil products can irritate the vulva and cause skin problems. Symptoms include:
It's hard to wash off. Baby oil doesn’t wash off the skin very easily. It can irritate the vulva, and if you scrub your skin, you can make skin irritations worse.
It can cause vaginal infections. Using baby oil or mineral oil as lube can lead to a vaginal infection . People who inserted petroleum jelly were 2 times more likely to get an infection called bacterial vaginosis. People who used oils were more likely to get a yeast infection. ‌
It's slippery. The point of a lube is to make your body wetter to increase ease and enjoyment of sex. Lube can make things extra slippery, and this can cause condoms to slip during sex.
There are many types of lubricants available.
Water-based lubricants . These can safely be used with condoms and diaphragms. They tend to dry out quickly, but you can always reapply as needed.
Silicone lubricants. These are also safe to use with condoms and last longer than water-based lubes.
Vegetable oils . If you already have a vulva irritation, using natural oils like olive oil, coconut oil, or vitamin E oil can be a better option. These wash off easily and won’t irritate your skin. They'll break down condoms, though, so don’t use them with condoms or diaphragms.
Make sure to check the ingredients list before you use a lube. If petroleum is listed on the label, it shouldn’t be used with condoms.
To protect your health and prevent pregnancy, don’t use mineral products and oil products that can damage condoms, including:
You can get a sexually transmitted infection through unprotected anal sex. It’s important to use a condom. Don’t use baby oil as lube for anal sex because this can cause the condom to fail and can raise your chances of getting an STI.
Some people are allergic to latex and have to use other types of condoms. These can include:
Polyisoprene condoms are just as sensitive to oil products. Mineral oil, baby oil, petroleum jelly, and natural oils will damage these condoms and cause them to break.
While some people say you can use oil-based lubricants with polyurethane, nitrile FC2, and natural lamb condoms, the CDC says you shouldn't use these lubricants at all.
If you’re considering lubricant options, it’s best not to use baby oil. Your doctor can help you figure out a better option.
