No, petroleum jelly does not contain acid. It is made from a mixture of mineral oils and waxes, so it is generally considered safe for skin use.

No, you should not apply petroleum jelly to gas grill regulator threads. Petroleum jelly can degrade rubber and plastic components, potentially leading to leaks or malfunction. Instead, use a thread sealant specifically designed for gas connections, which ensures a safe and effective seal without damaging the materials involved. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your grill.
If you're having sex with a woman vaginally then it is not at all safe to use petroleum jelly as this is difficult for the vagina to clean out so can trap bacteria and dirt within the vagina leading to increased risk of infection. Petroleum jelly is also a barrier cream, it keeps moisture in the skin it's on but at the same time doesn't let any additional moisture in - the mucus membranes of the vagina are very delicate so need moisture to keep them protected, petroleum jelly may result in vaginal tissues becoming dry and damaged so increasing risks of TSS and STD's. Besides all this, it's a byproduct of crude oil - who wants that on their genitals!?
Fill up a small container (like your sink) with hot water. Make sure the bottle is tightly closed, so no water may get in, and let the bottle sit in the hot water for 5-10 minutes. The lotion is liquid again when you can shake the bottle and hear it moving.
Water based lubricants such as KY or Astroglide. DO NOT use petroleum based lubes like petroleum jelly (Vaseline). They are not compatible with latex condoms and can cause them to break. Check with a pharmacist- they can refer you to the right product- and you will NOT be the first to ask them for help.
