Safer oils for vaginal lubrication...experien ces?

So, I know that quite a few folks here on Eden and in the real world have had positive experiences with some of the "safer", non-petroleum based all natural oils out there. Coconut oil particularly seems to be a big hit for some, and it seems that for many, the vagina is able to shed this particular oil rather quickly, making it less likely to cause a yeast infection. Recently, I finally tried coconut oil after a conversation with a friend. She is (like me) very prone to yeast infections, and coconut oil has worked really well for her.

Well, suffice it to say, this experience did not end as well for me. I was half expecting a yeast infection, so I caught it early and squashed it quickly, but I'm wondering if my experience is common. Anyone with a vagina (regardless of your gender/sex identity) can vote!

I've heard of this but never tried it myself. Kinda scared to put anything like that near my vagina, although I'm not prone to yeast infections.

I've tried olive oil before. Not too bad but nothing to rave about.

I'm the opposite-- I've had good experiences with coconut oil, but had several water-based lubes cause a yeast infection. Everybody's different though.

Just for the record too, the vagina doesn't necessarily "shed" the oil. High quality CO has mild antifungal properties and tends to soak into membranes after a time rather than be consistently shed away like waste oils. It's well known among herbal practitioners for certain healing capabilities. On the other hand, low quality CO can cause a lot of problems internally.

Yes! Reading your accounts on here was one of the major motivating factors in me deciding to try this. I used organic, unrefined coconut oil, so I feel it was of the better options available to me. Interesting about the "shedding" thing - there seems to be a lot of mystery and misinformation surrounding this whole "shedding" idea. It makes sense that perhaps the vaginal walls might absorb this particular oil, as I know it absorbs quickly on the skin rather than sitting there like petroleum oils. I'm disappointed my results weren't more like yours, because I was really looking forward to ditching water based for my silicone toys.

We've been using Yes link oil-based lube for my wife - for about 5 years. She loves how it never gets sticky like water-based lubes and leaves her skin silky smooth after we're done. It leaves my skin feeling great as well!

We've also used the much more affordable Aura Cacia body butters link. The Cocoa Butter is a little hard and has to be melted - but formulations with vanilla and mango are quite soft and easy to use.

I'm way too sensitive and prone to yeast infections to use anything not specifically formulated for vaginal use.

I, too, am prone to infections. That is precisely why I am afraid of using pretty much anything on/in/around my vagina. I have heard lots of good things about coconut oil, though I've never used it for anything, much less lube. However, I would be afraid to put any sort of oil in my vagina as oil-based lubricants are known for causing yeast and bacterial infections.

I agree. I have been using coconut oil vaginally and anally for a little while now with my Pure Wand and I love it. I actually feel better using it than I do other lubes.

I've found that any glycerine in a lube causes me to burn and itch and have some minor to major issues.

I use Nutiva Coconut oil as a lube.

I don't think I'd ever use olive oil as a lube, as a moisturizer for my inner and outter labia, yes.

I've had so many issues with System Jo products and I've tried a few different ones and have had nothing but problems with them.
