Had To Share
DH and I had sex last night for the using coconut oil as lube. I have been eating organic unrefined extra virgin coconut oil for the past six months when we have intercourse to prevent UTI's. But a couple of days ago I did some research about it and stumbled on the fact that it is great to use as a lubricant. Apparently, the store bought lubes have so many chemicals they can throw off the ph in the woman's body. So the coconut oil is a much better option since it is naturally antibacterial it helps to prevent UTI's & yeast infections.
Normally, we never use lube except for flavored during oral. So the sex was amazing he really enjoyed it and so did I. I just wanted to share with anyone that suffers from any of these problems after intercourse (UTI's & yeast infections). Hopefully you can give it a try. I think this is going to respark our sex life since it has been limited due to me being afraid of suffering another UTI.

Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean that it isn't full of chemicals. Everything is a chemical - your body is comprised of chemicals. Sure, be mindful of what you are putting in/on your body, but don't be so quick to assume that "natural" is the same as "harmless" or "man-made" is the same as "terribly bad for you." This marketing tactic that has been run around American is quite astounding for its tenacity and scare-tactics.
I just read about this about a month ago and bought 2 jars - one for the kitchen and one for the bedroom. It.is.fantastic!
Funny to hear because Dr OZ was talking about it yesterday and he evenmentioned that he also uses it....
