Many simply use hand lotion as moisturiser when having a condom on, but experts strongly advise against it. Dr. Bruce Voeller, founder of the Mariposa foundation, proved that men whose condoms regularly rip used regular hand lotion. Almost all types of hand lotion contain some kind of oil. Oil is what starts destroying the latex at first contact. When you use a condom, the moisturizer should therefore be water-based.

We therefore advise you to take some time buying a lubricant or some other moisturiser, check the ingredients, but definitely avoid using hand lotion.
