Is vaseline/petroleum jelly okay to use for lube?

Question

Answer

If you're using condoms definitely not. If you're not, I'd still recommend finding something else. Even olive oil or coconut oil is a better choice.

Answer

If you're using a condom, no. You need to use a water-based lube to avoid friction tearing. Vaseline and the like is really thick and can harbor bacteria if you're not sparing with it.

Answer

I'm sure protroliam jelly is because that's what I used when I first started wearing tampons at 12
