I can't but any kind of lubericant. So are there any household items that women can use that won't hurt their health?

First off all, Vaseline and latex condoms are a very BAD combination. The vaseline can actually dissolve the latex and cause the condom to allow sperm to pass through to the vagina.
It is generally recommended that women use water soluble substances in the vaginal area (water based lubricants). Products like vaseline (and baby oil, mineral oil, etc) aren't intended for use as lubricants, whereas water-based lubricants like K-Y and Astroglide are made specifically for intercourse and other various forms of sexual play and stimulation. Don't get it? Smear some Vaseline onto your hands and then try to wash it off. Try to wash it off with soap and water. Doesn't come off to easily, does it? It even leaves a nasty residue behind.
Vaseline can increase the chances and severity of vaginal yeast infections and many women develop small pimple-like bumps, commonly referred to as vaginal acne, on their vaginal parts after usage. It does NOT safeguard against pregnancy or STD transmission.
Nothing says sexy than removing bits of latex from your vagina from where the condom began to dissolve or having to treat a HORRIBLE yeast infection for a couple of weeks after using vaseline, followed up with something similar to acne--on the vagina. Right?
So, in short, never use vaseline (petroleum jelly), mineral oil, or baby oil as lubricants. A better choice is to go to the drug store and dish out some money for something actually made to be used as a sexual lubricant. Even if you're under 18, most places will still sell you a sexual lubricant. I don't even know of a place that would not allow the sell of lubricant to a, say, 13 year old even.
So, in short, you need a water-based (glycerin-free if you can manage it) lubricant if you want a happy, healthy vagina. Good suggestions for water-based lubricants include:
Carrageenan (a personal favorite of mine)
Liquid Silk Lubricant
AstroGlide
Slippery Stuff
K-Y
Although it sounds like a decent idea at first, your own spit tends to dry up fairly quickly and may promote vaginal infections. You can wind up with a bacterial infection (A LOT worse than a yeast infection--it can leave you completely infertile or in severe life-long pain) by using your own spit.
Take $15 and head down to the pharmacy, drug store, Wal-Mart, or whatever happens to be around you and check out their selection of water-based sexual lubricants. Heck, good lube doesn't even cost that much! (Got $5? Get lube.) You will be happier. If you have a partner, then he/she will be happier. Your vagina will thank you for avoiding such catastrophes listed above.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)

If you are using lubricant for masturbation, then Vaseline is good. Don't use lotion.
For intimacy with a partner, oral sex can act as a good lubricant and also help you produce your own.

Yes, try Vaseline or any unscented lotion. Good Luck!
