Question: Can I apply body lotion on my penis to reduce chaffing?
Answer: Absolutely!! Penis is also a part of your body and needs humectant to lock in moisture. It can be especially important if you chafe frequently or are living in a place that has a cold weather. However, that being said, you need to remember a few things:
Use a fragrance free, non-alcohol based product (Cetaphil is one of the safer options I recommend to my clients)
Use a dime sized amount of lotion and apply it evenly along the length of the shaft and the base.
It is okay to moisture the head, but be careful to not get any of the product in the urethra (aka pee hole).
Use a tissue or towel to pat dry any excess lotion.
In the end, remember to not use it as a replacement for lubricant and wash your penis before you indulge in any partnered, penetrative activities.
