If you get the pharmacy grade or extra virgin c/o, it smells way more like coconut, if you like that better. The food grade regular c/o is more muted on the coconut smell, to me. I put mine in a small vitamin e bottle. Only put a little in, then when we get ready to use it we just put it either on the mattress warmer or in our hand to warm it. During the summer months, it’s not an issue. 🙂 Have fun with it! We absolutely love it.

you have to look for it, I wasn’t expecting it to be in a jar and solid!! So we got a 3 oz bottle to put it in, perfect, but it has to be rewarmed each use, because it goes back to solid. But it’s nice! :)and it doesn’t smell like coconut either. I can send you a pic if you want, email me..info on Blogger.

Yes, I suppose I made the assumption that women actually go to the gynecologist regularly! It’s definitely a priority to keep up with it.

One of the reasons I shudder at the thought of ever moving from where I live is that I like all of my docs — dentist included — and I can’t stand the thought of having to find a whole new set. Good luck with the dentist, Christy!

Yes, rushed is a red flag for me. It usually only takes a few extra minutes to listen to a patient. Of course, we should be aware that the doctor has other patients and be respectful of their time, but when they are in our exam room, OUR health is the focus.

Enjoy the coconut oil, Kris. I have yet to get mine! It’s on the list.

Yes, medical care varies across nations. Best wishes finding a terrific doc here in the States. And welcome, Ngina!

Oh my goodness, Cat! I apologize for chuckling at your embarrassing story. But that sounds like a sitcom scene!

By the way, I have wondered what to discuss during that breast exam. Somehow “How’s the weather?” doesn’t seem appropriate, nor does “Buy me a drink?”

All of the dentist’s equipment make disturbing noises. At least that car jack things at the GYN doesn’t make a cranking noise! LOL.
