Can vegetable oil personal lubricant be safe to use for intimate purposes without causing irritation? - #22335

I am really curious about this whole idea of using vegetable oil personal lubricant. So, I’ve been looking into more natural options since all those store-bought lubes seem to have so many chemicals in them. Last week, I decided to try it out after reading somthing online. I mean, how bad could it be, right? But now I’m having some doubts more and more. First, I applied it, and it felt alright initially, but then there was this itchy sensation afterward! Is it possible that I could be allergic to vegetable oil personal lubricant or is it just me? I used it while being intimate, and to be totally honest, it did feel quite slippery and nice at first. However, after a while, my partner also started noticing some weird things. It was almost sticky and not in a good way ugh. We’re just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with vegetable oil personal lubricant or is it just a sign I should stick to the synthetic ones? I’m really feeling unsure about continuing using it. Is this a common issue? How can I avoid any negative reactions? I guess I’m just worried because using vegetable oil personal lubricant sounded so natural and eco-friendly, but now I’m second-guessing everything! And to be honest, I’m almost afraid to try it again, even though it seemed like a good idea at first. Any advice would be super helpful! Should I consider switching to something else or are there brands of vegetable oil personal lubricant that are safer? Could this irritate my skin? So confusing! Thanks in advance for any thoughts or tips you can share!
