Title says it all really. I want to try the whole coconut oil thing that everyone keeps mentioning, but i'm unsure what kind I should be looking for or if there is anything specific to keep in mind.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’d steer clear of coconut oil for butt play, unless you’re more experienced. Coconut oil is absorbed faster by the body and can leave you dry mid-way through. Get regular lube and try that. However, when or if you want to try coconut oil, get any kind for cooking. I buy a jar and take half and put it in a container for play and leave the original jar in the kitchen for cooking.
Ah ok! I suppose I can at least experiment for a bit, too. I just wasn’t sure if there were different kinds etc.
I would recommend getting extra virgin/unrefined coconut oil (any brand will do). If it smells like coconuts when you open it, you know you’ve got the right stuff. Both types will work, but I like the smell and less-processed-nature of the extra virgin/unrefined oil. You can google for some of the differences between the two if you need more detailed information, but most people I know who use coconut oil as a lube don’t use the refined version.
Thank you! I had a feeling others had mentioned unrefined or something, but I just couldn’t quite remember.
are you sure it dries faster than water-based lube (which is recommended for a lot of toys)?
Exactly. I mean, at any rate you have to go slow…
I think it’s absorbed by the body faster, than water based lubes. This has also been my experience.
