Description
KY Jelly is the UK's number one doctor-recommended personal lubricant, available from 24 HR Pharmacy with UK delivery. This classic water-based formula has been trusted since 1904 to enhance intimate comfort and pleasure. The gentle, fragrance-free gel provides smooth, natural-feeling lubrication to reduce friction during intimate moments and ease discomfort from vaginal dryness. KY Jelly is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms, making it ideal for safe, comfortable intimacy. Suitable for adults.
Side Effects
KY Jelly is generally well tolerated.
Rare: Mild skin irritation, stinging, or redness at the application site - discontinue use if this occurs and rinse with water.
Some individuals may experience sensitivity to ingredients such as methylparaben or chlorhexidine gluconate.
Very rarely, women prone to yeast infections may find that glycerol-containing lubricants can trigger candida (thrush) - if this occurs, discontinue use and consult a pharmacist for alternative options.
If irritation persists after rinsing, seek medical advice.
Additional Info
For intimate external and internal use only. Not a contraceptive - KY Jelly does not contain spermicide and will not prevent pregnancy. Do not use if you have known allergy to chlorhexidine digluconate or any other ingredients. Avoid contact with eyes - if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not use on broken skin, open wounds, or if genital sores are present - consult a doctor. If experiencing persistent vaginal dryness, speak to a healthcare provider as this may indicate an underlying condition. May slow down sperm - consult a doctor before use if trying to conceive. Safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but consult healthcare provider if unsure. Keep out of reach of children. Warning: Product is slippery - avoid spills to prevent slip hazards. Store below 25°C away from direct sunlight.

For vaginal dryness, apply a small amount internally or externally for immediate relief.
Washes off easily with water.
Not suitable for use with polyurethane condoms.
Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. For external and internal intimate use only.
FAQs
Is KY Jelly safe to use with condoms?
Yes, KY Jelly is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. However, like all lubricants, it should not be used with polyurethane condoms as it may affect their integrity. Always check condom packaging for compatibility guidance.
Can KY Jelly be used if trying to conceive?
If you're trying to conceive, consult your doctor first as KY Jelly may slow down sperm. There are specially formulated 'fertility-friendly' lubricants available that are designed not to interfere with sperm motility.
Is KY Jelly the same as a vaginal moisturiser?
No, KY Jelly is a lubricant designed for use during sexual activity to reduce friction. Vaginal moisturisers like Replens MD are designed for ongoing relief of vaginal dryness and are used regularly regardless of sexual activity. Both serve different purposes.
Can KY Jelly cause yeast infections?
While uncommon, some women who are prone to yeast infections may find that the glycerol in KY Jelly can contribute to thrush. If you frequently experience yeast infections, consider trying a glycerol-free lubricant or speak to a pharmacist about alternatives.
How is KY Jelly different from oil-based lubricants?
KY Jelly is water-based, which means it's compatible with latex condoms and won't damage them (unlike oil-based lubricants). It also washes off easily and won't stain fabrics. Water-based lubricants may need reapplication more often but are generally considered safer for intimate use.
