K-y Jelly

K-Y Jelly is a water-based, water-soluble personal lubricant produced by Johnson & Johnson. The initials "K-Y" are not known to represent any words, but are retained for their brand-identity. Created in 1917 and then named Jelly Personal Lubricant, the jelly's popularity began with medical use, where it was often chosen by doctors because of its natural base. In contrast with petroleum-based lubricants, KY is generally biologically inert and contains no colour or perfume additives. The lubricant proved extremely popular as it does not stain and is easily cleaned up. K-Y Jelly is now more widely used as a sexual lubricant. It does not react with latex condoms or silicone-based sex toys. It has a thick consistency and a tendency to dry out during use, but can be 'reactivated' by the addition of saliva or more water. K-Y Jelly is not a contraceptive and does not prevent pregnancy or stop sexually transmitted diseases. Johnson & Johnson company also manufactures K-Y Liquid and K-Y ULTRAGEL.
