KY Jelly is a moist， colourless， odourless， non-greasy gel that eliminates friction discomfort and helps protect you from irritation. KY Jelly is ideal for use with condoms. Oil based products such as petroleum jelly and some hand and body lotions can destroy the latex in condoms in seconds， leading to possible leakage. Like your body's own lubrication， KY Jelly is water-based， so it is clean rinsing and won't remain in the body like petroleum jelly can. Think of K-Y Brand Jelly as the closest thing to your body's own natural lubrication.
