text: has anybody used glycerin or honey as a personal lube? is it safe? not in this household, and it would be better by far to purchase some commercial lube. glycerin will produce a burning sensation, and honey, by providing glucose to feed the candida yeast organism that is naturally present on humans, may cause a person to develop a yeast infection.  honey is also sticky, not slippery, so it would be counterproductive in other ways.
