Lollie Answers: Is Lotion Safe For Hand-jobs?

February 27, 2013 1 min read

Suzie Asks:

If I use scented lotion from, say Bath and Body Works, to give a hand job, would that be harmful in any way?

Dear Suzie:

Aside from unique allergic reactions, I can only think of a few ways that scented lotions may be potentially harmful. If you are planning on having sex using a latex barrier post lotion hand-job, be sure to read the ingredients on the label. If it has any kind of oil in it, then it is not condom-safe, and must be washed off before sex as oils tend to wear down latex in under one minute. Similarly, if you are planning on having vaginal sex after using the lotion, be sure to check for glycerin or sugar in the ingredients as they can cause  yeast infections in some women.

Hope this helps! Enjoy!
