My last 2 boxes of Salofalk retention enemas have come super dry so I’ve been applying Vaseline (petroleum jelly) to the nozzle before inserting, is this ok or should I use a different lubricant?
I did a quick Google search and got mixed advice with the mayoclinic website saying the following:
“ To make the suppository easier to insert, you may use a lubricating gel such as K-Y® Jelly, but do not use petroleum jelly (Vaseline®).”
What do you reckon? Why would they say Vaseline is bad?
