100 times more safer than common petroleum lube like KY or anal ease. You also need a lot less and your object will slide right in. I would buy the refined coconut oil as unrefined is way more expensive and is more for internal use meaning eating. Unrefined is used in a ton of natural or holistic cosmetics and creams and is very good for skin. But do not eat refined. It is too high in bad fats where as unrefined is low in bad fats and high in good fats.
KY is not petroleum based. It's water based.
You are correct about KY, my bad. But anal ease and others are. But KY is still synthesized synthetics and are still toxic of the body even though Johnson & Johnson won't admit that it is. But all synthetics unless engine oil are bad. I am not saying using engine oil like others did below, I am just saying synthetics are not good except for engine oil for your engine. But coconut oil is still natural and feels like silk as other are "draggy" and feel weird.
Coconut oil is safe, but we have tried it and didn't like it nearly as well as water based lube. Once things get warmed up and moving it is less slick... more "draggy" as my girlfriend says. She finds that less comfortable. Plus, cleanup is so much easier with water based lube, and it's cheaper to boot. Try Astroglide or KY Liquid (not the old style jelly - it sucks). This one...
I have heard that coconut oil is a great lubricant for sex, and it's all natural which is even better. It's certainly safe to use with your body and a dildo or anal plug.
It might cause a chemical reaction with the materials that your toys are made out of.
Why are people so stupid to put chemicals in their system in the first place? The dildo is more harmful than the coconut oil. I would out the oil in before the dildo. But no chemical reaction as coconut oil is not going to soften or liquefy the plastic or silicone on the dildo. Its not acetone or Lacquer thinner.
you ask yet people smoke and drink all the time, makeup, food, nail polish, even drinking water. I have no idea what her dildos are made out of. Especially the cheap ones.
Right, especially drinking water with all the fluoride, bleach, industrial toxins and so fourth which is not needed. Smoking and drinking are fun and not exactly bad for you if done in moderation. But fake dicks? Especially when there is real ones that are not toxic.
It's certainly a quick way to find out if you have an allergy.
That MIGHT be the case. But highly is not life threatening.
yeah, but imagine how much that would suck? @Sovereign1979
It would not suck that bad. And actually, mainly allergies come from genetically modified foods. So far, coconuts are not genetically modified, they are organic. But more people are allergic to petroleum than coconuts as petroleum is toxic and not meant to be used on a human body.
dude, any tree nut allergy includes coconut and she is using a modified product. I agree with your statement, but what she is using /is/ modified so it runs a higher risk than just coconut.
It's very safe for internal use, smells good, natural, but it can degrade latex/rubber. So I'd say it depends what your toy is made of.
Yes we have and its idea , works wonderfully and acts as a moisturizer.
it's safe. I've used engine oil before, and I'm fine..
... that still does not sound healthy at all

Coconut oil makes for a solid cooking oil, facial moisturizer, and makeup remover. But this popular oil is earning a rep for a totally different reason: as a sexual lubricant. Coconut oil lube can supposedly enhance sensation, help couples last longer, and make sex feel more pleasurable overall.

On one hand, it makes sense to bring coconut oil into the bedroom. It's slick and slippery, and the fact that it's a natural product is very appealing. But is coconut oil a safe lubricant for your vagina, and are there any drawbacks? Before pouring some in your hand and hitting the sheets, read up on the facts, explained to us by women's health specialists.

On the whole, yes. "Coconut oil is a natural, preservative-free, and cost-friendly lubricant," Sherry Ross, MD , a women's health physician in Santa Monica, California, and author of She-ology, tells Health . Other doctors we spoke to endorsed it as safe as well and explained a bit more about how it is made.

"Coconut oil is edible oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts [and] has many good qualities: it is very moisturizing and it has natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties," Nita Landry, MD , an ob-gyn in Los Angeles and physician on the television show The Doctors, tells Health .

As Dr. Landry says, coconut oil is moisturizing. That's something Florida-based ob-gyn Jennifer Landa, MD , chief medical officer at BodyLogicMD, previously pointed out to Health . "One of my favorite natural lubricants is extra virgin coconut oil," she said. "It is moisturizing and lubricating and doesn't ball up like a lot of lubes you can buy."

Coconut oil's consistency is also a draw. Dr. Ross says that it's thicker and longer-lasting compared to silicone- and water-based artificial lubricants. At the same time, it won't get clumpy, as other lubricants can, she says.

Any natural, plant-based oil can be used safely as a lubricant, yet "some of these oil-based lubes can be messier, harder to wash off, and stain clothing and sheets," Dr. Ross believes, explaining that coconut oil is less messy than, say, olive oil. (Olive oil was the sexual lubricant of choice for ancient Greeks and Romans, she adds.)

First, and this is important, coconut oil lube shouldn't be used with latex condoms. Like all oil-based lubricants artificial or natural, the oil in coconut oil can potentially degrade the latex in your partner's condom—possibly putting you at risk of a sexually transmitted infection or pregnancy.

"Coconut oil cannot be used with latex condoms because it can break down the latex and cause the condom to break," states Dr. Landry. Only water- and silicone-based lubricants can be used with latex condoms without risking breakage, she says. The only time it's okay to use coconut oil with a condom is if the condom is made from polyurethane, clarifies Dr. Ross, which won't degrade.

Coconut oil as a lubricant isn't necessarily a good idea if you're prone to vaginal infections, such as yeast infections. It's not exactly clear why some women are more infection prone, but if you are, you may want to play it safe. "Because coconut oil is antibacterial and antifungal, it has the potential to disrupt the pH balance in your vagina and cause a yeast infection," says Dr. Landry.

"Partially hydrogenated and refined coconut oil contain additives that can be irritating or even leave the skin dryer than before," explains Dr. Landry. So "stick to virgin, unrefined coconut oil when it comes to lube as well as any other use. This oil is extracted from the fruit of fresh coconuts without using high temperatures or chemicals."

Adds Dr. Ross: "You want to look for pure coconut oil that is natural, preservative-free, and does not contain any fragrances. Look at the ingredient list on the bottle to make sure the only item listed is coconut oil."

Go easy on how much coconut oil you use during a sex session. While in general it makes for a safe motion lotion, too much is not necessarily a good thing for your vagina. "If you are going to try coconut oil lube, be sure to only use a small amount," says Dr. Landry. "An excess buildup of oil in the vagina can be a breeding ground for unwanted bacteria or yeast." Definitely not something you want to happen after a slippery, super pleasurable roll in the hay.

Lube is to anal sex what communication is to a healthy relationship: vital. Why? Well, without the addition of store-bought lubrication anal sex isn’t just less pleasurable, it can be pretty painful— and anal sex (say it with us!) isn’t supposed to be painful, says Jordan Soper , PsyD, certified sex therapist with Promescent , a sexual wellness brand explains.
"The anal canal is not self-lubricating the way most vaginal canals are," she says. “Lubrication increases moisture in the area, and therefore helps decrease the amount of friction during penetrative play." That means you should call in all the help you need by adding an anal lube to your sex drawer.
Sure, a little bit of friction while you frick-frack is fine. But too much friction can irritate the delicate anal tissues and increase the risk of tearing and infection. But with lube and a little patience, anal play can be downright orgasmic.
So what makes a lube... anal lube, exactly? Good question. The truth is most lubes you might use for vaginal, vulvar, penile, or pleasure product play can double as anal lube. You should watch out for flavored and scented lubes, though, which have irritating and sometimes desensitizing ingredients, which can cause people to go deeper, harder, or thicker than their body would like, causing a risk of pain or injury, Soper says.
However, the best lube for anal play is thick lube. And the thickest lube of them all? Silicone-based lube. “Silicone-based lubes are considered top-tier for anal play because they stay on for longer periods of time compared to water-based lubes, which are more-easily absorbed into the body, ” Soper explains.
But if you're using silicone anal toys , oil-based lube is the best choice, she says, as silicone-based options may break down the materials in your toy. Just remember that oil-based lubricants can *never* be applied with any latex barrier you might use (condoms, dental dams, finger cots, etc), since they can damage the latex.
You also shouldn’t be surprised if you have to re-apply the lubrication mid-way through your play sesh—even if you do choose a thick ass lube (pun intended). “The rectum absorbs fluids back into the body,” Soper says. “Because lack of lubrication can make anal play uncomfortable or even painful (which we want to avoid at all costs), you’d be wise to re-apply before you think you need to.” The wetter, the better.
Now, onto the good part. Here are 17 of the best anal lubes you can shop right now, picked from a mix of expert recommendations and customer reviews.
Hybrid lubes are all the rage. You get the staying power of a silicone lube, with all the compatibility of a water-based. Babelube Silk will never disappoint. It is silky and smooth and glides on like a dream. Feel free to use it with your favorite anal-sex toys —it won’t cause any pesky damage.
If you’re planning to get rowdy with a glass or stainless steel anal toy, there’s no better bedmate than this lubricant from Cake. Formulated specifically for ass play, this silicone-water hybrid formula is basically the lube version of waterproof mascara: long-lasting.
The Butters is a creamy, rich, oil-based lube that is an absolute must-buy for anal play. Its thick and smooth texture takes your anal experiences from good to mind-blowing. Plus, it leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized and will never, ever stain your sheets. If you’re a pleasure-seeker who prides themselves on decadence, The Butters is the way to go.
Coconut oil is a great choice for anal, especially for anyone looking for a safe all- natural lube option. Unlike baby oil or Vaseline, which will dry out and irritate the anal tissue, coconut oil will stay smooth. Just remember, this one isn't safe with latex condoms.
This natural water-based lube from Lynk has racked up almost 5 stars and 1,000 reviews on Amazon. Its ingredient list is clean, the price point rocks, and it has the perfect silky consistency for anal sex. Bonus: The pump-style bottle makes for way less mess.
People love the way Wicked Jelle stays exactly where you put it, doesn't dry out or turn sticky, and rinses off easily with water. Plus, this particular anal lube comes as a set of two mini tubes, so you can keep one at your place and one at your partner's.
If thick thighs save lives, thick lube saves anal canals. (Put it on a T-shirt!) With its silicone base, this long-lasting pick is one of the thickest on the market, making it the best option for anyone looking for something pillow-y to soften the sensation of anal penetration.
System JO is known for its silky texture and long staying power. Some anal lubes can get thick and gross, but this water-based one, despite its perfect-for-anal viscosity, won't.
This is a versatile lubricant that's completely organic and all-natural—you won’t find any harsh chemicals or sketchy parabens in this lube. It's water-based and compatible with condoms, but since it's not an anal-specific lube, you may need to reapply a bit.
This is a more affordable drugstore brand that is tried and true for anal play. It stays in place—even in water—which means it’s a good choice for anal play in the shower. The formula is very gentle and non-irritating to the skin. Astroglide is water-based, condom compatible, and super slippery.
This lube is 100 percent organic, vegan, and infused with green tea and sea extracts. If you have particularly sensitive skin, try starting with a small amount before going full throttle. It’s pretty mild, but it’s always best to be safe.
This one is neither goopy nor watery, and you only need a little to make a big difference. Of course, if you find that you need some more, do. it. up.
Überlube is an industry favorite. It’s so gentle on skin, you can even use it to remove your makeup. (No, for real.) This silicone lube is light to touch and has a slick, slippery feel. Just remember: Don’t use silicone lubes with silicone anal toys, as they can degrade the material.
Almond oil has a lovely, nutty scent that's completely body-safe—just be sure you’re purchasing 100 percent all-natural almond oil. This one isn't compatible with latex condoms, FYI.
This silicone-based lube makes you feel relaxed but not numb, ideal for a good—and safe—time!
Made with clove oil, this paraben-free, vegan lube is alright to use with both condoms and silicone toys. Safe *and* sexy? Sign me up.
This lube is for the luxe among us. Its chic black bottle looks more like a pretty perfume, but where it really stands out is in performance. It creates a smooth sensation and has a clean texture. Infused with aloe vera, it’s a safe choice for anal sex and butt toys of all kinds.

Here's what to know before you use it in bed.
Maybe you’ve been in the heat of the moment and realized you didn’t have any lube , leading to frantic scrounging around the kitchen for an alternative to use in a pinch . Or maybe you've been looking for an all-natural lube, just because. In either case, you may be wondering: Can I use coconut oil as a natural lube alternative?
Coconut oil is generally safe and effective to use as a lubricant, says Michael Ingber , MD, a urologist and urogynecologist at Garden State Urology. However, there are a few things you should know before you decide to slather it on and hop into bed. Here are the pros and cons of opting for coconut oil as a lubricant.
Some lubes on the market contain alcohol (you'll typically see an ingredient ending in "-ol," like "phenoxyethanol"). While alcohol can provide a “cooling” sensation during sex or masturbation, Ingber warns that lubricants with alcohol can dry out mucosal surfaces, which are predominantly found in the anus and vagina. This can cause pain, UTIs, or yeast infections.
Glycerin, a byproduct of sugar, is sometimes found in lube, and it's not recommended for people with vaginas. "It can often serve as a breeding ground for yeast and bacteria," Ingber says. (Glycerin is one of the predominant ingredients in K-Y Jelly and it can also be found in some JO lubricants .)
