To use baby oil as lube?

[Happinesscomesfromwithin]

Just that really.

We used to use coconut oil but then read online that it kills sperm, and that baby oil doesn't and is sperm friendly (we are TTC).

Any experiences with it?

Is spit sperm friendly?😂😂

[EveryDayIsADuvetDay]

olive oil? (virgin, of course)

[avamiah]

Omg No
The thought of Olive oil down there makes me want to take a Canesten pill myself .lol
I’m sorry to be crude ,but saliva (spit) is better than olive oil .
You will get thrush if olive oil goes near your bits trust me .
The cost of a Pill for thrush and cream is expensive ( canesten duo) , surely lube is cheap, i mean it should be .

I have used baby-oil in this context - never had a problem. Quite a common use for it I believe.

If it’s as much as an irritant as people are saying, isn’t it bad for babies?

Lovelydiscusfish,
Then you have been lucky that’s all i can say .
As for babies, I personally didn’t use it on my daughter when she was a baby because I didn’t like it.

What do people use,if they live in desert countries,or jungle type places.or even in their igloos in the snow..all places with no shops or chemists to buy from.. They all probably make up their own concoctions for sexual matters. .

I feel thrush coming on just from imagining this.

1forAll74,
Good point , probably their own saliva or water I have never thought about it before now .

[Happinesscomesfromwithin]

Well we have used coconut oil for years and never had thrush or anything from it!

If you are TTC then going should use Conceive Plus. I think anything else can reduce your chances.

Hahahahahahhaa "just spit on it"

That was totally my first thought!!

[crispychicken12]

It hurt my DH's penis after we used it twice. Said his skin went very dry.

I'd get a water based lube if you can

[ElderMillennial]

I believe saliva can be harmful to sperm too OP

Me too. Been absolutely fine. Thrush free yet well lubricated over here 🙋🏼‍♀️

[Lovelydiscusfish]

Maybe it’s just a case of suck it and see? 🤷‍♀️ (SORRY.....)
