I would appreciate any feedback from experienced users of unrefined shea butter as a lubricant. I was looking around online and there seems to be many kinds, some in dry cake like form which I suppose is not the right kind. Can anyone suggest a good choice?
Thanks in advance

I'm not an expert, but I purchased this, and it's worked great.

Thank you both for your input but I do have another question. In looking at both of these options they are in what appears to be a hard form. Do you do something to it before using?

I roll mine into long thin Pretzles, wrap them in paper towles and freeze them. When I want to use them. I take out what I need and break it off, put the rest back and insert with ease. In about 20 minutes and it is all fluid. Simple as it sounds.

Visually looks like the right product. Avoid any refined Shea butter or butters that have added ingredients or perfumes to "improve" the product or offer skin softening. Check out the old "Shea Butter how much" thread in the forum.

Like @anlcompslv , I compound Unrefined Shea with Unrefined Coconut Oil.
I do believe in "Organic and Unrefined" but am cautious about many 'raw' products so I heat my mixture to a temperature above 180 deg F. and hold it there for 5 minutes to kill off any virus or bacteria that might be present.

@rumel has developed a lube that is Shea Butter, Almond Oil and Beeswax. Among Anerosians it's known as "Natural Jelly" and is another winner.
