Why do condoms have oil?

There are various kinds of condoms on the market now, and we are not sure which one is better. However, some people think that condoms are very oily and wonder whether they are harmful to the body. In fact, condoms are made of lubricant made of silicone resin, which has a certain lubricating effect on the body and can effectively prevent pregnancy without any harm.

Condoms are usually made of natural rubber or polyurethane, and are long, thin films that wrap around the penis, vagina or anus. One end of the film is closed and usually contains a space formed by a protrusion to store ejaculated semen. As a contraceptive tool, condoms are easy to use, have no side effects, and generally have a contraceptive success rate of 85%. For users who have received special training, the contraceptive success rate can reach 98%.

It is common to see oil on condoms. What would be a problem is if there is no oil to lubricate them. But are these oils harmful to the body? Should they be washed off?

Many people are curious about the oil on condoms. After using them for so many years, haven’t you ever thought about whether it will harm the body? For men, it will be gone after washing. But what should women do?

Is the oil on condoms really harmful to the body ?

The main component of condom lubricant is silicone resin, which has good waterproof performance and is very suitable for various forms of underwater sexual activities. It also has a longer action time than water-soluble lubricants.

Lubricants have a long history of use in human sexual life, but in the early days people used vegetable oils such as olive oil. However, due to the limitations of the ingredients, the effect is not ideal, it is easy to stain clothes and is not easily absorbed by the body. Later, people also tried to use petroleum-based mineral oil substances such as Vaseline, baby oil, bath gel, massage oil, etc. as lubricants. These substances are often too sticky and difficult to clean. They are easy to cause residue after use. They are even likely to block the urethra of both men and women after use, causing painful urination difficulties. They will also destroy the stability of condoms and cause unwanted pregnancies, all of which will cause damage to the human body.

With the change of people's sexual concepts and the increase in various impromptu sexual activities, human lubricants are constantly developing. Because the special structure of the human body and mucosal epithelial cells are more vulnerable to damage, the use of lubricants specially developed for this purpose can avoid damage and the resulting infection.

The lubricant is soluble in water, non-greasy, has a weakly acidic pH, is mild in nature, does not irritate the skin, leaves no residue, has no side effects, and is easy to clean. Apply lubricant on the surface of the condom to enjoy its smoothness. It is harmless to the body and very safe, so you can use it with confidence.

Is it necessary for women to rinse the oil on condoms ?

First of all, the vagina has a very strong self-cleaning ability and can decompose general dirt. Only a very small number of female friends with weak resistance need to flush it afterwards, but it is not necessary for most women.

Secondly, it should be noted here that vaginal douching is harmful to women's health. First, it will destroy the normal microbial environment of the vagina, allowing sexually transmitted diseases to take advantage of the opportunity and cause harm. Another is that it will give women an illusion that they are "clean" and they will relax their vigilance when faced with some unsafe sexual behaviors. So to sum up: for condoms produced by famous brands of condom manufacturers on the market, there is no need to rinse the inside of the vagina after use, only the outside.

It is not recommended to use some scented or special condoms produced by unknown manufacturers purely for the sake of appearance and novelty.
