Generally scented things like the johnson's contain some type of oil product to give off that scent.
I would reccomend that you don't use vaseline (oil) with condoms (latex), just as I would reccomend that you don't use scents (oil) with drysuit seals (latex).
If you want to know why, go look up vaseline and condoms
Not to mention, putting my catheter for my p-valve on draws enough attention on boats, I don't need to get out a bottle of KY jelly to push the subject.
My tube of AstroGlide is proudly displayed whenever I don my suit.
Hey, if you got it, flaunt it!
Perrone do you keep that out when you put on your p-valve cath :P
I don't have a cath. Pool dives are short.Originally Posted by Cheekymonkey
Yep, there is that method too. But I have noticed that when I do it that way I end up with a rash on my skin, possibly from the sweat as it does not happen when I use the soapy water...Nope, not the only one
I seem to sweat enough to slide right in
Dive safe,

Used to keep KY and a soapy spray bottle around (used to have neoprene seals; didn't need either with latex). Then one fine day, I discovered that the spay bottle had disintegrated and seriously gunked up the tube of KY, so I tossed the entire coagulated mess out. The latex seals outlasted everything.
I guess I'm one of the "strange" types, as I use corn starch. I bought a box from the store years ago for like a buck and still have half of the box left.
I took about half of the contents of the corn starch box and dumped it into an old sock. I formed the sock into a ball and zip tied the end off. I keep the ball in a ziplock bag and just tap it onto my hands and wrists before donning the suit. Kind of similar to how rock climbers apply chalk to their hands. It works great, doesn't make too bad of a mess and my seals hold up well.
I never have put anything on my neck seal or head. Even in winter, I am sweating so profusely from donning the suit that it slips right over my head every time.
I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Ok, I'm going to leave that one alone LOLI makes slipping in and out easy.
It's bad luck to be superstitious.
