Video transcript

Water-based lubricants are the best choice to use with condoms. They are compatible with both latex and polyurethane condoms, reducing the risk of breakage. Avoid using oil-based lubes like Vaseline or baby oil, as they can degrade the material, leading to tears. If you prefer a longer-lasting alternative, silicone-based lubricants are also safe for use with condoms, offering a smooth, non-sticky experience. Always check the product label to ensure compatibility before use.
