With so many personal lubricants on the market we believe that the innovator of all intimate lubes, K-Y, should have a special category all to itself. Introduced in January 1904 by pharmaceutical and suture maker Van Horn & Sawtell of New York City and later acquired by Johnson & Johnson, K-Y Jelly's original stated purpose was as a surgical lubricant and it was often chosen by doctors because of its natural base. The product is now more widely used as a sexual lubricant. It does not react with latex condoms or silicone rubber-based sex toys. The KY Range has expanded over the years and now includes KY Liquid, KY Arousal Gel, KY Massage, KY Warming Gel and KY Yours and Mine Intimate Lubricant.
