Vaseline

Question: Are Vaseline and knock off petroleum jelly products a liver poison?

Vaseline is not toxic to the human body. Any 100% petrolatum (petroleum jelly) is non-toxic. The key is don't save pennies by buying a generic brand and you will be OK using this as a lubricant.

Vaseline and mineral oil is completely safe. It is a refined substance. It isn't crude oil pouring out of the ground.

It's NOT called mineral oil because it gives you minerals.

ANIMAL VEGETABLE OR MINERAL

It is called mineral oil because it ISN'T from a plant or animal, and yes I know crude oil is from dead plants and dinosaurs.

Not a poison especially in the small quantity which they are normally used.

I don't advise using either them because they can dry out and crack rubber. Vaseline especially.

Also hard to fully clean up.

There are a number of generics and other brand products that are virtually identical to KY Jelly at a fraction of the price. Including some that can be purchased online, and a Wal-Mart house brand. All completely identical and considerably less expensive.

That's what I use and what I can advocate. The product is water soluble, and therefore inert as far as the human body is concerned. You may be tempted to slather it on but DON'T. Use it sparingly!!! it is SO EFFECTIVE that you use too much and you end up being unable to retain even a retention nozzle.

I've used vaseline for years and have had no problems....nothing is more erotic than feeling a woman's warm tight bummy take a well vaselined finger.

My colon hydrotherapist use vaseline for lube

Vaseline, tried and true.

I have to disagree about the Water base lube being "inert" as far as the Human body is concerned.

Arsenic solution is water based as well. (no pun intended)

Doesn't make it inert, other than LACK of inertia after imbibing !

The Carriers and additives in pretty much all Bathroom products are the problem.

Check out the Material Data Sheet for Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. This is probably the main Carrier/bulking agent in cosmetics, shampoo, toothpaste etc.

A "known" skin irritant and commonly used as a base line in Allergen testing.

Am just looking at the ingredients in a bottle of Astroglide. Sheez, a chemical cornucopia of Carcinogens.

Methyl Paraben? hasn't that been banned in Sunblock?

There are some great "Organic" water based lubes available now at Health Stores. The problem is the expense.

Basically, I think of it this way, If I would'nt eat it, then why would I stick it up my Butt ?

Answer, 'cause it's fun !

Bottoms up.

I've used Vaseline for for all my anal activities for over 60 years with no ill effects. Highly recommend it.

That is very true. Vaseline is refined and has been used for enemas for close to a century with no problems. I prefer it for giving enemas because it does not get absorbed like water based lubes and it is slightly sticky which helps keep the nozzle in place.

Vaseline is wonderful stuff indeed. As said below, tried and true. However, do not get it on latex or some forms of rubber anal devideslike old style rubber colon tubes or the old latex double balloon catheters. It deteriorates these things and they soon become land fill.

No home should be without a jar of Vaseline as it has many uses beyond the Enema Nozzle

It (Vaseline) had been used & recommended by vets for pets that have chapped ears. To wipe on hand tools to retard corrosion . . . to wipe over car battery terminals to exclude moisture between battery clamp & terminal.

Hey I think I've just found a new title :

Beyond The Enema Nozzle

No home should be without a jar of Vaseline as it has many uses beyond the Enema Nozzle

So does Coca-Cola and Hydrogen Peroxide. While I might take a Coke enema - ixnay on the hydrogen peroxide enema!

Vaseline is cheap and nice lubricant.

Use for most enemas. For toys use water-based lube or condom to keep it safe.

I use it all the time. For enemas, tampons, and as a pre-lube for toy play. The toys themselves I use KY on. I've never had a problem with Vaseline or the generic brands. As the man once said, “Works for me!”

Some doctors say it is not real good to use but kinda hard to beat it for using it for cracked skin and lube for anal play in the shower where water based lube would wash off in a short time.

Is vaseline toxic? Well, it is petrol-based so possibly. I can't see myself sitting down to a shot of petrol. Then that is being extreme. The linked-to lists are something I ignore. Anything can be linked to anything if one wants to bad enough. Frankly, they remind me of the Kevin Bacon game. A fun but frivolous activity. I sucked at it.

I use it for removing makeup mostly and it's cousin Vicks on my feet for moisturizing and fighting athletes foot. I know sounds grungy but it just does not care whose feet it goes after. I have used both as a sex lube occasionally. If one were to sit there eating it with a teaspoon like ice cream I could see it doing harm. It has been around for a long time then come to think about it so was lead based make up. In any case for me anyway, I won't concern myself over it damaging my liver. The root beer and potato chips will probably do that to a far greater degree.
