Is it safe to use K-Y Jelly with an already lubricated condom? Sometimes the condom loses its lubrication after a while during sex. It won't tear away at the condom or anything, will it?
Yes, it is absolutely safe to use extra lubrication with a condom as long as it's water based (such as K-Y Jelly or Astroglide. Liquid Silk is another great water-based lubricant that some couples prefer because of its silky smooth texture
In fact, I recommend using extra lubrication. Basically, you can never have too much; and prelubricated condoms have barely enough -- certainly not enough for prolonged intercourse. Once the condom is in place, feel free to apply additional lubrication as needed. And here's a suggestion: before putting the condom on, put an extra drop of lubricant inside the tip -- this increases sensitivity for the man. Just pay attention to not drip or spread any of the lubricant on the inside near the base of the condom, or else it could slip off.
