I did look into coconut oil as a replacement lubricant and it seems that it’s not advisable for internal use, totally safe for the external areas, it goes on to say that there’s a risk of infection similar to a yeast infection.

It is completely safe to use inside also. It was highly recommended by my gyno. She also said it was a much better and more natural choice than prescribed creams.

It has been great for me and allowed me to not need anything else, but, I haven’t had sex in decades, so I can’t speak to that. My GYN recommended it and I was pleasantly surprised that it worked great. I didn’t ask her about internal use, but certainly any GYN could answer that. My GYN, associated with the prestigious Woman’s Hospital, will not prescribe hormones at all.
