Can shower gel be used as lubricant?

Bath gel can't be used as lubricating oil. Bath lotion, also known as bath lotion, refers to the liquid detergent used in bathing and is a common cleaning product for modern people. The invention of shower gel is mainly to replace the touch and efficacy of traditional cleaning soap. Although the shower gel is also very smooth and has a certain lubricating effect, using it to lubricate the catheter may lead to urethral irritation symptoms, such as pain and burning discomfort. It is best not to use shower gel instead of paraffin oil.

The main component of early human lubricant was glycerol and hydrophilic substances, and then sodium hyaluronate, ethyl cellulose and carbomer were added after improvement. After improvement, the viscosity is reduced, the pH value is balanced, which makes it as similar as possible to human body fluids, and the incidence of allergic symptoms is reduced. Bath gel cannot be used as a lubricant. When it enters the vagina during sexual intercourse, it will destroy the vaginal environment and cause vaginal inflammation.

Lubricants have been used in human sexual life for a long time, but people used vegetable oils such as olive oil in the early days. However, due to the limitation of ingredients, the effect is not ideal, which is easy to pollute clothes and is not easy to be absorbed by the human body.

Later, people also tried to use petroleum-based mineral oil substances such as vaseline, baby oil, bath lotion and massage oil as lubrication; These substances are often too viscous, difficult to clean, and easy to cause residues after use. Even after use, they are likely to block the urethral orifice of both men and women, causing the pain of dysuria, and they will destroy the stability of condoms, cause unintended pregnancy and cause harm to human body.

Therefore, don't use shower gel as lubricant. For the sake of health, it is best to buy a special lubricant.

There are many kinds of lubricants on the market, both imported and domestic, such as KY, WetStuff, Durex, An Ting, Yi An Ting, Yarun and Shuangnen.
