Can lubricant harm condoms?

My dear friend has given me her Gummi Love surprise bag as a present. my question: does it harm the condoms if we use lubricant? my friend is a lot older, uncomplicated, we don't need contraception any more, but she wants me to use condoms for the first time (I'm already very excited).

Dear youngster
Only use lubricants that are suitable for use with condoms. No oils or Vaseline! You can find out more about correct condom use and how to find the right size under GummiLove Facts.

Measuring stick: What size condom do I need?

It is not the size that matters, but that the condom fits properly. There are many different types and sizes of condoms. However, to ensure protection and reduce the risk of a burst condom, it is important to find the right condom.

Have fun ♥️
