Coconut Oil Post-Circumcision - Less Greasy Than Vaseline, Clean & Pink Results

[Arclight1979]

First off, I was advised not to use any oils or anything other than Vaseline on my wound until it had healed (whether that was at 6 weeks or beyond). So I did not. And I would advise anyone else to follow the instructions of their surgeon or doctor. 🤓 But... as I've been told the outer wound is healed and I'm over the 6-week mark, I decided I was done with Vaseline (I find it too greasy and sticky, but it has done a great job of helping me heal to this point, so I'm not knocking it too hard). Anyway, for the past couple of days I've rubbed a load of coconut oil on the head of Mr Peeps and around the scar line a couple of times a day... usually after my shower and a bit later in the day. NO, not like that, I'm abstaining from THAT for a bit longer. But I wanted to say that the oil is far better at stopping my chap stick to the inside of my pants (seems to reduce friction a lot), it has also cleaned up all the last little bits of dry skin and debris left in a couple of small creases in my scar line, is already made my scar feel less tight and makes my pants smell amazing. 😀

I made sure to patch test on my inner forearm for 24 hours before using it - really critical - you don't want an irritated allergic reaction AND a sore healing penis. But there we go, just thought I'd add my support for coconut oil as a great alternative to Vaseline once you reach a certain point of the healing process.

Yes it's great stuff. I also used it after the wound had closed and still use it sometimes if the head looks a bit dry

Indeed... now, if only I could get my pubes to stop irritating my johnson like it's sitting on a flipping hedgehog, that would be the end of my issue for now! 😖😖😖

You could always shave them! I did mine before the procedure

[Arclight1979 in reply to Man7Cut]

I do. Have to keep on top of it every couple of days otherwise I get the hedgehog pin cushion. 😆

Is this the same coconut oil you can get in the supermarket in a jar and not runny that you can use for cooking or something else?

[Man7Cut in reply to Ridscott85]

Yes the very same

[Ridscott85 in reply to Man7Cut]

Thank you 🙂

Yep, the jar. Looks like a solid lump of white stuff but turns to oil super quickly on your finger tip. Go for as virgin and free from additives as possible.
