Oil and Yeast Infections?

Question

Does anyone develop yeast infections after using oil as lube? I’ve tried coconut, olive, grapeseed and yes even baby oil. I always get mild yeast infections after. Is this common? I would say it’s only with toys but even when i’m just using my hands i develop one. can’t really say anything about actual intercourse but as far as masturbation i always get one.

Answer

Never use any home oils as lube unless it’s specifically made & sold to be used during sex such as a water-based lube or oil-based lube.

Answer

Unrefined cold pressed coconut oil would be fine to use as a lubricant. The other oils not so much they are typically to processed. But if they are giving you mild heat infections try queen v lube it’s in the feminine hygiene section at Walmart.

Answer

I use coconut oil for lube often never gives me a yeast infection . Are you washing your hands well before hand ? Are you washing you’re toys well ?

Answer

If you insist on using oils as lubricants, I would suggest using one that’s made by a lubricant company, such as AstroGlide. You might not get any yeast infection by using something that was specifically made for that area.

Answer

I can not use anything or I will get an infection. My doctor said some people are just more sensitive.
