Such a time of 24 - 48 hours will be appropriate in my opinion - sufficient. Oil-based lubricants can destroy a condom in direct contact with it after about 15 minutes. On this basis, we can conclude that the use of fatty globules immediately before intercourse may reduce the effectiveness of the condom. The manufacturer does not inform us about the specific time that must pass from the time of application of the globule to the intercourse.

Thank you for the correction. What if I take a globule 24 hours or even 48 hours before intercourse? That amount of time is enough for it not to affect condoms? I'm not supposed to take them every day, so I ask ;) Because I understand, of course, that immediately after taking it is known, I mean a longer time, min. 24 hours..

Referring to @jola the answer: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/85683/infectvagin-czy-mucovagin-i-infectvagin-moga-uszkadzac-prezerwatywe-jaki-odstep-zachowac-miedzy-stos "Mucovagin and Infectvagin globules do not damage the condom" - if used after intercourse - not before. You are right, I will correct my answer in a moment, because it may be misinterpreted. Quoting further my answer, I wrote there: "Do not have sex immediately after the application of the globule, you should wait until it dissolves. The manufacturer does not inform how long it takes to dissolve them. This can take up to about 1 hour. Vaginal globules should be used after intercourse, not before ... ... If you want to moisturize immediately before intercourse, you can use Mucovagin in the form of a gel."

Unfortunately, I see that Mucovagin has conflicting opinions, whether it affects or not, because in response to another question about this drug, you probably wrote that I quote: "Mucovagin and Infectvagin globules do not damage the condom". Is it difficult for the manufacturer to state this clearly in the leaflet?

Yes, the fatty substrate of vaginal globules can destroy latex. An example of such globules is Mucovagin: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/50568/mucovagin-globulki-globulki-dopochwowe/apteki With vaginal dryness, it is recommended to use condoms factory-coated with an additional amount of moisturizer. However, if you want to use a condom moisturizer, you can only use products that are watery, not fatty. E.g. Durex https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/25672/durex-play-zel/apteki Through the portal, you can compare the prices of a drug or other over-the-counter preparation in online pharmacies and order the drug with home delivery or collection at the pharmacy.

User questions and answers that provide feedback about products are not verified for the purchase or use of the product. Companies often order anonymous comments to form positive opinions about their products, or negative ones about competitors. Therefore, be guided by the information in the pharmacists' responses in the first place.
