Can glycerin be used as a body lubricant?

Generally speaking, glycerin can replace body lubricant, but it is not recommended to use glycerin because it is greasy, can easily cause skin allergies, and is not easy to clean. It is better to buy professional water-soluble body lubricant.

The main components of human lubricant are water and glycerin; it may contain propylene glycol, sucralose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium hyaluronate, ethyl cellulose, carbomer, plant flavors, food coloring, emulsifiers, nourishing ingredients, special agents and other components.

Condoms and human lubricants can be used at the same time, but it is worth noting that not all human lubricants can be used with condoms at the same time. Human lubricants are divided into water-soluble and oily types. The main component of water-soluble human lubricants is pure water, so it feels the most natural and is of course the most convenient to use. Another advantage of using it with condoms is that it prevents latex allergies, but the water-soluble components are easily absorbed by the air and the skin.

Therefore, the effect time will be relatively short. Some people will choose oily lubricants for this reason. This is a big mistake. Oily lubricants are mainly used for anal lubrication rather than normal sex. The main ingredient is silicone oil. If it is used with condoms, the oil will corrode the latex. If the lubricant itself does not contain spermicide (in fact, few lubricants contain spermicide), it will directly lead to the reduction of the effectiveness of the condom, affecting the normal contraceptive plan, and there is no way to prevent infectious diseases.

Does glycerin evaporate?

No. It can be used as a stationary phase for gas chromatography and in organic synthesis. It can also be used as a solvent, a gas meter and a shock absorber for hydraulic presses, a softener, a nutrient for antibiotic fermentation, a desiccant, etc.

Okay, my friends, you all understand it clearly. You know that glycerin can be used as a lubricant.
