Are any oils safe with latex/rubber?

Hello everyone,

Are non-petroleum based oils safe to use with latex/rubber materials? If not, are there any broad classifications of oils that are safe?

In particular, I'm interested in whether or not olive oil and castor oil are safe to use.

Thank you.

There are no completely safe hydrocarbon oils for use on latex rubber products.

ANY petroleum or vegetable oil will cause degradation of rubber products. Some vegetable oils will destroy latex rubber faster than others. If you want to use an oily lubricant with latex rubber, use silicone lubricants.

WARNING: silicone lubricants will destroy silicone toys.

Water based lubes are all fine for latex clothing. The latex doesnt absorb the moisture, its just that water based lubes naturally dry out. I use ID millenium for my lube for latex, dildos and assplay. Look up amazon.com and you can find a vendor here in the US that sells a 16oz bottle for like 38bucks, much much cheaper than what adult stores sell it for.

I have found Cornhuskers lotion to work well inside and out...

Agree with Susie. If you want something oil like to use with rubber then use silicone. The Pjur range is excellent. It is slightly more expensive than other lubes but a little goes a very long way. I bought a bottle a few years ago and it is only now about to run out. Great for non silicone toys and for helping put on rubber clothes and give them that proper shine. Just be careful if you shine the soles of any rubber stockings!

Try Johnson & Johnson baby oil

Agree with silicone lube. It lasts forever. Be careful if you get it on the floor though. One patch in my bedroom had me slipping for days afterwards!

If you want oil lube, you can use silicon oil. All other oil is not good for latex or rubber.
