Forgive me if this has been asked and answered in another topic. My wife and I have done anal a few times and she likes it..somewhat. I think we need a better lubricant. I understand waterbased is safer but can you use oil based (vaseline) as long as there is no condom use? I heard that oil based lube can cause yeast infections and the like. What is the 411 on that? Thanks ahead of time

Never ever use oil based lubes. The lube can run down into the vagina, and since the vagina isn't self cleaning like the rectum an oil based lube can and most likely will cause a nice infection.

Just get a different water based lube.

Personally, I love Astroglide..it's perfect for anal.

Interesting. I didn't know that. TY.

Well, as someone who definitely has a vagina :P my gynecologist TOLD me not to douche because the vagina IS self cleaning, just wash the outer bits really well.

But, in any event, I don't know about oil based lubes because I don't use them. Maybe the best thing to do is buy an oil based lube and read the back and SEE what it says about infections. I don't even know of any oil based ones.

Unless you're using gobs and gobs of lube, which would be too much anyway, I don't see the real danger of a large amount getting into her vagina to cause an infection.

Thank you all. I will have to shop around. Knowing my wife, she will want to play it safe and go for the waterbased. Will look for a better brand though. Thx.
