It’s a popular natural option with many benefits—but there are some downsides to keep in mind, too.
Tons of women experience vaginal dryness, research shows, but that doesn’t mean your sex life has to suffer. Whether you’re feeling a bit dry down there or simply want to make sex feel even better , using a personal lubricant can provide the moisture you need so you can have the sex you deserve—and we all deserve great sex. Natural lubrication in women can diminish for a number of reasons, from taking certain medications (like birth control or antihistamines) to menopause , and using lube is a simple way to make sex feel more comfortable.
While there are tons of lube options on the market, many people prefer to go the natural route in order to avoid exposure to certain ingredients like parabens, says Alyssa Dweck, M.D. , an OB/GYN in New York and co-author of The Complete A to Z for Your V .
But you can’t just grab anything wet—some natural solutions are better than others. For instance, plain water isn’t a good lubricant because it can wash away your body’s natural lubricant, leading to dryness, and items with a petroleum base (like Crisco) can increase your chances of infection.
Enter coconut oil , already a multi-tasking product (it’s versatile for cooking and serves as a great natural moisturizer.) It’s probably the most popular natural lube option, Dr. Dweck says. But how does it stack up against the OTC lubes out there? Is it safe—and is it effective? Here’s what you should know about using coconut oil as lube.
In a nutshell: Coconut oil is generally a safe option to use as lube. “ Studies have shown that coconut oil is clinically proven for safe and effective use as a moisturizer. Its moisturizing properties may make the product an effective lube and allow for longer-lasting intercourse,” says Jessica Shepherd, M.D. , an OB/GYN at the University of Illinois at Chicago and advisor with Happy V .
Coconut oil aids with coating the vaginal tissue to reduce water loss, while soothing and hydrating the vagina. “It can help vaginal dryness, alleviate friction during sex, and minimize tears,” Dr. Shepherd says.
Two key things to know if you’re going to try coconut oil as lube: First, opt for unrefined coconut oil —it has less processing and bleaching, Dr. Shepherd says.
Then, you’ll definitely want to reach from a clean jar, says Robert Kiltz, M.D. , a diplomat of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and author of The Fertile Feast . “Most standard kitchen coconut oil comes in a big jar; you wouldn’t want to dig your dirty fingers in there time and time again over the course of six months or even years. This could lead to some bacterial growth and infections,” he says. So, use a spoon to scoop it out (and no matter what: wash your hands!).
If you’re prone to yeast infections , then it’s a good idea to steer clear of using coconut oil as lube. Dr. Kiltz says that the coconut oil’s antimicrobial properties as well as potential contamination can increase the rise of infections by disrupting the natural microbiome of the vagina. The normal pH of the vagina is acidic, and coconut oil can make it an alkaline environment, resulting in a disturbance of bacteria that can also lead to issues like bacterial vaginosis .
“The other limitation with any oil-based lubricant is that they are not considered condom-compatible, so if you are relying on a condom to protect you against STDs or pregnancy , you really can’t rely on it 100% when using an oil. Latex condoms may become compromised,” Dr. Dweck explains, adding that coconut oil can degrade latex.
And, although rare, there is a risk of allergic reaction when using coconut oil as lube, Dr. Kiltz says. If you’ve never used coconut oil before, apply a small amount to your wrist and take note of any changes, such as a skin rash , before using it as lube.
Lastly, coconut oil can be quite messy, staining sheets and clothing, so you’ll want to be cautious when using it during sex.
Coconut oil may not be your thing, but if you want to stay the natural route, you have some options, like olive or avocado oil. Make sure the olive oil is virgin and first pressed because “other oils are more processed and often involve added chemicals to further extract the oils,” which can irritate the vagina, Dr. Kiltz says.
You can also use pure aloe vera —just make sure it’s free of the cooling agents and additives that are sometimes added to aloe vera products to treat sunburns, he says. “The vagina is a mucosal membrane, unlike the skin,” Dr. Kiltz explains. The skin is a much stronger barrier and is less sensitive to chemicals in aloe vera products designed for sunburn that, if used as lube, could disrupt the vaginal microbiome, he says.
For OTC options, Dr. Dweck recommends silicone lubricants such as Uberlube . “Silicone lasts a long time and it’s not water-soluble, so you can use it in water,” she says, adding that silicone lubricants are also condom-compatible. Water-based lubes are also a great option because they’re “simple, cheap, and recognizable,” she adds, but just be mindful that they can lead to more dryness over time. You should scan the label to ensure there are no ingredients that you are sensitive to.
To combat dryness in general, you can also try vaginal moisturizers (like Replens ), which are “used more on a chronic basis, like every day or every other day, to help prevent dryness,” Dr. Dweck says. For those going through menopause , she says vaginal estrogens are great for those experiencing dryness, as they add moisture and can also be used as a lubricant during sex. Vaginal estrogens are used to treat dryness, itching, painful urination , and the sudden need to urinate in women who are experiencing menopause, but you’ll need a doctor’s prescription to get them.

How to Use Coconut Oil in 5 Sexy Acts: A Midsummer Night’s Whoa

Coconut oil has been all the rage lately from a hair product to a weight loss enhancer to a teeth whitener and a fungus fighter.
The uses of coconut oil are endless !
All you need to do is Google “ways to use coconut oil,” and dozens of articles will pop up. Because of its many benefits, this liquid gold has been dubbed a “superfood.” And while the benefits of this oil are plentiful, there are a few other fun ways to put all that oil to excellent use.
And what else can we use this oil for? How about some well-deserved sexy time? That’s right! Use that innocent little jar of cold pressed coconut oil in many imaginative ways.
There are a variety of sexy reasons to take your coconut oil from your kitchen shelf to your nightstand. Whether that’s between the sheets, in a warm bath or front of a fireplace
First, let’s get one thing straight. When you buy coconut oil, make sure you’re buying the PURE stuff ! Flip that bottle around and read the label. The only ingredient on that label should be coconut oil , plain and simple.
If there are any other ingredients listed on that label, you might as well be rolling around in canola oil. Check that label because anything that’s not pure may become an irritant to your skin.
After you’ve discovered that what you’ve found is pure coconut deliciousness, it’s time to get your sexy on.
Before we get into the juicy uses for coconut oil, did you know that eating it increases your sex drive? Eating clean makes you feel better, and when you feel better, sex is more enjoyable !
Eating clean involves incorporating healthy, whole foods into your diet. Good fats, which coconut oil is, are part of a healthy, well-rounded diet.
Another cool fact is that it improves libido ! Research shows that consuming 2-3 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil could improve your sex drive.
The research team from the University of St. Thomas studied the effects of coconut oil. The research was based on the consumption of 189 people.
110 participants took 3 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil every day. The remaining 79 received a placebo.
Of the 110, 13% were sexually active during the duration of the study, citing an increased sex drive.
Coconut oil contains antioxidants that break down free radicals. Remember that these free radicals cause a lowered libido and sex drive.
Additionally, adrenal fatigue, a health condition, can lower your libido.
Adrenals are the glands above our kidneys. They secrete hormones and influence our energy, metabolism, sleep, and sexual organs. Because of the hard work they do, our adrenal glands are always hard at work. They need proper care.
To provide proper care, we can consume iodine-rich foods, such as coconut oil. Minerals such as iodine help sustain and give life to our adrenal glands. It can provide the exact stimulation your libido might be needing .
Let’s take a moment and imagine that perfect evening. You’ve just had an incredible dinner. With the candles lit and the wine is almost finished.
Soft music is playing in the background, and it’s only you and your boo. You look at your lover, and they ask, “so, what do you want to do?” You flash a devilish grin and walk over to the coconut oil.
Warm the oil between your hands while your lover gets undressed . You then begin to massage your lover.
Take your time rubbing oil everywhere. Watch your lover’s skin as it shimmers in the soft candlelight. You then proceed to….OK, and we won’t go that far…back to reality here.
This magical oil is the perfect oil for a massage. It melts into your skin and mixes well with essential oils, plus it is 100% natural.
Because coconut oil is 100% natural, it also makes it edible, which is a sexy bonus! Also, unlike other edible massage oils, it isn’t sticky. It has a pleasant, light taste and smells like a tropical breeze .
Giving a massage to your partner is a great way to spice up your love life. When giving (and receiving) massages, you’re spending time with your partner.
Discover what feels good on each other’s bodies . This intimate experience is extreme!
The most important thing is you’re connecting. You are connecting through touch and intuition. Breathing together and creating unusual, full-body sensations.
Painting your partner’s body and then take your time as you lick it off is a sexy way to keep the fun going .
Luckily, this oil is an ideal ingredient to combine with either cacao or cocoa powder. These two ingredients make a delicious, nutritious edible paint.
Mix the coconut oil, coco/cacao powder, and honey in a small bowl until it makes a paste. The amount of each ingredient is up to you and your preferences. Once the paste is ready, let your imagination run wild.
Don’t be shy about using your bodies as a canvas. You can make intricate designs or have a little fun and make it silly. Bodypaint is a sensual and delicious way to make your time together with each other a little sexier.
Nothing feels better after a massage than a nice, warm bath.
Before your bath, add a generous heap of coconut oil to the water and hop in together.
If there are any essential oils nearby, throw those in as well. Lavender, cedarwood, and sage are all great fragrances. The essential oils help to make the bathwater relaxing and sensual.
Let the warm water wash over you as you continue to explore each other’s bodies. Be creative, as EVERY body part can benefit from a gentle, soothing massage in the bath.
Soak in the luxurious warmth of this natural tropical oil. Your body is drenching itself in natural moisturizers.
The steamy heat creates an ever-so-intimate setting. When you’re finished with sexy-tub-time, be sure to dry each other off. Take your time. The drying off experience is one of the fun parts.
Sexy bath time is over, and it’s time to take things to the bedroom (or wherever you want to get it on). Be sure to bring the coconut oil with you, as the final act is about to ensue. As you spread out on the bed, keep that coconut oil close by because you can use it as lube!
Using coconut oil as a lubricant during foreplay is a natural, tasty way to get things going in the sack.
But store-bought lubricants that contain parabens and glycerin.
This oil is all-natural and will leave your skin feeling soft and supple.
The problem with said parabens and glycerin is that they can break down into irritants. But guess what! There are no such problems with coconut oil!
We encourage you to smear the coconut oil all over your partner (as explained in options II and III).
Foreplay is vital for good sex. Engaging in activities that are arousing helps both parties to lubricate and ‘harden’ up naturally. And when you’re combining coconut oil with foreplay, the sky’s the limit! Get creative and try things out that you’ve never tried before.
Because certain, uh, ‘parts’ are all greased up, it should allow for easy access and smooth transitions.
Try using oily pleasure in all of your sexual endeavors.
Trust me! Once you start to use it, you won’t want to stop . Using it with your partner will change your sex-life in all the RIGHT ways.
Keep in mind that if you are lubed up with this oily goodness that you should be careful with condoms.
I’m not advocating that you have sex without condoms, by any means. But I am saying that if your partner is covered in coconut oil and he has a condom on, it might come off.
Also, ANYTHING oil-based will degrade latex condoms. The oil will cause it to deteriorate and break. So, if condoms are your means of protection, then switching to a polyurethane variety would be best.
Before we end on that ever-so-steamy public service announcement, please keep in mind that coconut oil doesn’t have to be used ONLY with your partner(s).
You can also use this oil solo ( and I don’t mean cooking ).
If you find yourself in need of little, “me” time, crack that bottle open, and go to town. You’ll love the way it feels, again, moisturizing and pleasing all at the same time.
Did I mention that coconut oil has antibacterial properties?
That’s right, ladies! (Gentlemen too, but this is mostly for the ladies.) This magical tropical oil contains anti-fungal properties that help reduce the risk of infection.
Not only is coconut oil magical in many sexy ways, but it also protects and disinfects. WIN-WIN!
So what are you waiting for? Is there coconut oil at your disposal? If not, go out and get some… NOW! If you do have some, I think…

Coconut oil is actually one of the best options when it comes to an alternative lube, because it has moisturizing qualities, doesn’t contain any irritating additives, and is a natural antimicrobial substance. Coconut oil also has a number of applications in the bedroom that make it one of the best things to keep on your bedside table.
This specialty oil has gained considerable popularity in recent years as an element of healthy eating , as well as certain cosmetic and beauty applications, but it is not nearly as well known as a sexual lubricant. Some people do swear by it, however, due to its numerous benefits in the bedroom.
Many women experience vaginal dryness, making sexual intercourse an uncomfortable or even painful experience that often leaves both partners unsatisfied. As per the USDA, coconut oil is rich in vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, zinc , iron , and calcium . Coconut oil helps to quickly moisturize the skin and induce wetness in those sensitive areas, which can cut down on excess friction or irritation. It is far more lubricating than a water-based lubricant and the effect lasts longer. The natural anti-fungal and antibacterial nature of this oil can also help to protect against yeast infections and other potential pathogens. [1] [2]

You always want to choose 100% pure coconut oil that does not contain any additives; many regular lubricants contain other chemicals and components that can leave the skin drier than before, irritated, or allergically inflamed. This powerful oil does the exact opposite, provided you’re using a pure variety! [3]
Coconut oil can be used as a lubricant both during foreplay and sexual intercourse. Put some coconut oil on your hands (or other parts of your body) and the heat of your skin will quickly dissolve the oil into a silky smooth gel in your hands. Then, rub the oil on you or your partner’s skin for a slippery and smooth experience.
