Looking at any interesting effects of propylene glycol in vaginal lubricants I stumbled upon this study. Then I found it isn’t the only one pointing to hyperosmolal lubes causing damage to the epithelium either.

    We just use baby oil or, more commonly, coconut oil. Coconut oil is so juicy and lubey and stays lubed for a long time, even when exposed to air. One tablespoon is enough for a very large area as well. 😏🍑

      Coconut oil works great if you don’t regularly cook with coconut milk. If you do, the association between the two becomes unpleasant.

      Unpopular opinion: I can’t stand the smell of coconut oil. It’s frankly the worst smelling natural oil.
