Without boring you all with the details my body cant handle any kind of oils, which means I cannot use coconut or emu oil anymore. I'm looking for something I can use during the day which is fragrance-free, and salicylate free as well. It is only for lubrication nothing more...If anyone can recommend something that they have used then that would be great. Remeber it is only for lubrication.

Have you ever used Hydromol Ointment? I've used it for years. It's a moisturiser and barrier ointment.

I know you say you can't use any oils, but everything that lubes seems to have some type of oil in it. Maybe you can try changing the type of oil to see if that helps. There is castor oil, shea butter, jojoba oil. You can also try making a salve and adding soothing tea to it like calendula. Hope you find something that works! Let us know

Most oils dont work for me and not because of my salicylate problem...this seems to be something else, a different intolerance entirely, not sure why that would be but I have tried quite a few oils and after a week I start to react...

Hi Guppy,
When my son was young, he had a serious problem with excema. The specialist told us that if you are sensitive to something, like bacon for instance, you can have it occasionally and it won't bother you. So I'm wondering if you can use a different oil each day of the week. You could try emu one day, then cold pressed oils such as sunflower or soy the next, then rapeseed and safflower, etc. until you are using 7 different types of oils every week.

Good question. The 'KY' jelly that I tried where I live I reacted to but it was not the Brand KY... it was a substitute..I think I will order some online and see If I can use it...thanks

KY jelly is water based so not sure how long that would last and would not act as a barrier I don't think. Good as a lubricant tho for sex i imagine. I used it when i had to use dilators and had no effects from it.

Hi Guppy007. So sorry to hear that oils don't work any more. Have you tried Emuaid? It is not an oil. It's a cream. It comes in a first aid remedy which works great for me. Also there is Vagisil complete moisturizing gel. I'll check the ingrediients first. Okayi, here goes. Water, glycerin, propanediol, carbomerhomopolyner, sodium hyaluronatephenethyl , phenethyl alcohol (oh oh! Alcohol?)ethylhexyglycerin and sodium hydroxide. Hmm. not exactly natural ingredients! But it does work for me very well. It's a gel so it's not oil based. I hope this can give you some relief, if it sounds safe. Otherwise vaseline? Best wishes.
