Common classification of lubricants

1. Industrial lubricants: The main function is to reduce friction damage on the friction surface. However, lubricants are widely used in industrial machinery. In addition to the main requirements of various machines for lubricants to reduce friction and wear, there are also some special requirements due to different working environments and working conditions.

2. Lubricant for medical surgical instruments: Medical instruments are mostly made of iron and are plated with a nickel-chromium layer on the surface. When the nickel-chromium layer is destroyed and the impure iron (containing carbon) is exposed to the air, an oxidation reaction occurs when it comes into contact with oxygen and water, causing rust. The use of medical surgical instrument lubricants can effectively avoid or delay the corrosion of surgical instruments.

3. Human lubricants: The national incidence rate of lubrication defects is 74.8%, of which the majority are mild and non-pathological; 39.2% are caused by bad mood or excessive force; 13.3% of people have lubrication defects due to intolerance to condoms; the decline in estrogen levels after childbirth and menopause can also easily lead to this problem, causing pain during sexual intercourse. For most non-pathological vaginal dryness, the use of personal lubricants is usually recommended. More than 67% of couples in the United States use lubricants. The old-fashioned Vaseline oil is a petroleum product. It is usually applied to the female clitoris or the male penis, and it can last for a long time without drying out. However, this type of oil will stain the sheets, is greasy, and should be avoided with condoms. The most sought-after lubricants in the United States are water-soluble lubricants, such as KY gel. This water-soluble lubricant is chemically inactive, can inhibit the growth of relevant vaginal flora, and usually does not cause allergies.

Things that are not suitable for use as personal lubricants

1. Vaseline has a repairing effect and can lock in moisture, but it cannot be absorbed by the body, is insoluble in water, and is difficult to clean. Mixing petroleum jelly with latex condoms can react with the latex and cause the condom to break.

2. Coconut oil has antiviral and antibacterial properties, which can harm vaginal flora and irritate the skin. It cannot be used with latex condoms.

3. Body lotion and hand cream can only be used externally, not internally, as they will affect the pH value of the vagina.

4. Liquid soap and hand sanitizer are very harmful to the vagina and can cause a burning sensation on the fragile penis and vulva.

5. Bio-oil can repair many skin problems, but it is not suitable for use as a lubricant.
