Can someone please tell me once & for all why it isn't good to use Neosporin as a lubricant when you're stretching?I can see why it wouldn't be good to keep using it over time as a moisturizer since it's antibacterial & your body can get too used to it,but I mean just once every month or two when you do your stretches.I've noticed that the vast majority of the time when you watch stuff on Youtube,read stuff on the internet,& whatnot about stretching,people will say do this & don't do that,but they rarely if never give a reason as to why.It makes me wonder if they're just repeating what they've heard & been told & don't even know the reason,but are trying to come off as super knowledgeable.I guess regardless if it's the correct advice,that's all that matters,but if someone says something's good or bad,I like to know the reason because when it comes to stretching,no matter what one person says,someone else will say they're wrong.To the point where literally,someone could be like,'When you go to do a stretch,it really isn't a good idea if you wipe your ass w/your hand before you do it',& I guarantee you someone would STILL say 'No that's wrong,it can be very helpful to wipe your ass w/your hand first'.Now,I know that's a ridiculous exaggeration,but you all know what I mean.People spend so much time starting things out w/'first of all,it's called stretching,not gauging,& they're called plugs....',that when it comes to important stuff,like safety & health,they just say do this,don't do that,& they don't discuss the reasons.
