I know some of us have found the Vit e pessaries to be beneficial and also many of us benefit from internal application of coconut oil. I emailed Yes to ask if they had considered making pessaries and also if they would make oil based lube with coconut oil in. They said that their oil in applicators (to make internal application easier) will be available soon and will contain coconut oil.

    Coconut oil capsules are available which I thought ridiculous as it would be so much cheaper to consume real coconut oil.  However, I can see the benefits of using the capsules as pessaries.

      Yes, we have been discussing these - Key E? They are made of coconut oil, Palm oil and vit E but come from the USA and are costly.

      No, the ones I saw are just coconut oil capsules - I guess for people who don't want to taste the oil!

      Do they work out cheaper than a jar of coconut oil? I would say a jar lasts about a month.

      I just googled "coconut oil capsules" - various brands, various amounts, but as an example 120 caps x 1000 mg AU$15.84, normally AU$22.01.  So that would last 4 months, at 1 per day.  I don't know but you may have to pierce them before inserting.

      Oh, I get it. You are talking about oral capsules. Gosh, no, those work out way more expensive than a jar of the stuff. The Key E I was talking about are suppositories for vaginal or rectal use.
