I cannot believe that people are still using petroleum jelly – some forms may be toxic. Also, if used on your private areas it will cause bacteria to grow. If you use it, make sure it says pure petrolatum USP.
Many people, especially women are complaining about chronic vaginal infections. Besides antibiotics, which tend to cause yeast infections — use of the aforementioned jelly is a big problem. Time after time people tell me they use it as a lubricant — STOP!!!
Try Emerita personal moisturizer or NOW vegetable glycerine. Most women are allergic to ointments and gels in that area unless they specify on bottle – made from water base and natural oils. Also, fruits and perfumes can be a big problem even when they are natural — so choose unscented products.
