Expert Q&A
Is there a good lubricating gel for sexual intercourse that is petroleum free?
There are many water-based personal lubricants that can be used. The two most likely to be found in grocery stores and drugstores are K-Y Brand and Astroglide. K-Y Brand jelly is not a petroleum based lubricant, it may seem to be since it is quite thick, but it is water-based. Astroglide is more of a liquid, and K-Y Brand also makes a liquid as well as the jelly. Look for a product that contains purified water and glycerin in the ingredients. Egg whites from clean uncracked eggs can also be used, and are sometimes recommended for those trying to conceive.
