Coconut Oil :)

So I have heard/seen that some people use coconut oil as an all-natural lubricant. I was highly intrigued because I have had issues with different types of lube, and was looking for something natural.

 Well, I sure am glad we tried CO!!!

 Ab-so-lute-ly AMAZING. Better than any lube we've ever used. 

 If you haven't tried it, you should. Just sayin' :)

 

 

Re: Coconut Oil :)

  • Clear this with a physician first.  I don't know if this is okay to use internally --- foodstuffs (and that is what coconut oil is) can be fodder for the breeding of nasty vaginal bacteria that can give you a splendid infection.

  • it's anti-fungal and anti-microbial
  • You have to watch the sugar content as well.  It can cause a yeast infection, which is why you see some flavored lubes out there that aren't recommended for internal/vaginal use.

  • There's no sugar in it. The only nutrition facts that have a value are Total Fats and Saturated Fats, because it is an oil. Also, since it is anti-fungal it actually prevents yeast infections.

     Like I said in OP, I was looking for something all-natural. I am very sensitive to other lubes and haven't had a single issue with CO.

  • nice tip! will have to try! ;)

    It tastes great too when you cook with it! lol

  • I was wondering if coconut oil is a solid or liquid?  I have a large jar that I use for soap making (food grade) but it is mosly solid at room temperature.  Is that the same thing or are there different types? 
  • It is the same thing! CO is solid at room temp and melts at body temp. I store mine for the bedroom in a separate container in the nightstand.
  • It's also good for shaving your legs.
