Question: is coconut oil safe to use as a lubricant?
Answer: Unfortunately, it's not perfect in the lube department. Because coconut oil is antibacterial and antifungal, there's a chance that it could disrupt your vagina's natural pH balance and cause a yeast infection if you're prone to them, Morse says. And, because it's an oil-based lube, it's not safe for use with condoms.
