A member asked:
How safe is it to use lubricant? does it cause infection in anyway?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Completely safe: If you're talking about vaginal lubricants, they are very safe and have no association with causing infections. That said, they do nothing to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases like HIV - that requires using male or female condoms.
