Silicone and Vasaline

Have any of you had experience with petroleum jelly, Vasaline, degrading silicone enema equipment?

I don't have any direct experience, but silicon based rubber like products are designed to be 'inert', so I would be very surprised if Vaseline had any effect on Silicon products.

Do not use silicone-based lubes on silicone. I don't understand the chemistry, but it will eat the toy.

Silicone is quite inert. You can use any lube on silicone toys except silicone itself, which dissolves them.

I am not aware of too many kinds of rubber that won't turn brittle with repeated exposure to petroleum.

I don't get Vaseline anywhere near any non-disposable rubber, including silicone rubber.

Vaseline is perfectly OK to use with silicone toys.

DO NOT use silicone lubes on silicone toys. They will get soft, mushy and disintegrate.

Silicon is inert to petroleum based products, it will however react to some silicon based compounds. Advantage of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) is that it does not wear off easily.

The very reason I love love love my silicone colon tube and double balloon nozzle is that I can use plan ol' Vaseline as the lubricant. It stays with you (in more ways than one) but also serves to shield the anal opening from getting irritated during a multi-enema session. The only anal/enema toys I buy are silicone!
