Yes, lubricants can be used without a condom. However, it's important to choose water-based or silicone-based lubricants, as they are safe for direct skin contact and won't cause irritation. Always ensure the lubricant is compatible with your needs, especially for sensitive areas.

I'm really concerned about the number of times I've taken the i-pill.
