Coconut oil

[D&H]

I (the misses) have something I'd like to see happen for D (my mister) on our trip. I'll need coconut oil. Is there a chance I can get some at the resort? Or should I try to bring some? We're only flying with a personal item sized bag each, so luggage space will be filled quickly. And since at room temp coconut oil is a solid, I wouldn't have to include it in my liquids bag, right?

Are you seriously going to tease us with that?

You are best to bring your own coconut oil, btw - as far as the airlines(TSA) are concerned, it( coconut oil) still counts as a liquid !

In order to answer this question appropriately we will need to know, in painstaking detail, exactly what you have planned, would hate to steer you wrong

Cokemann, thanks for the info. We don't fly much. But that's slowly changing! And in order to assist with my query...I would LOVE to get him on a jacuzzi bed, blindfold him, and have lots of hands massaging him. I say that coconut oil is required because it's the perfect viscosity and doesn't have an offensive taste, if it should happen to get in a mouth by chance...

You can pack multiple 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) bottles/jars of coconut oil along with any other 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) liquid containers in your carry on, as long as they all fit into a 1quart zip lock bag (FYI - I usually double bag the liquids just to be safe !) btw - even a single 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) bottle/jar of coconut oil goes a long way.....

We've always taken coconut oil since our first trip. Just to make sure it doesn't go solid we mix it 2 parts coconut oil to 1 part sunflower oil. Always come back with plent, even after spreading it around among couples. A little goes a long way!

We like the solid better than the liquid form. Though we do take a larger jar in our checked bags, also take a tube in carry-ons. We have several of the empty tubes you can buy at most department stores that we fill ourselves. Just melt in the microwave in a measuring cup and pour into the tube. It will harden again as it cools.

Does anyone have a tip for keepin down the little "grits" that tend to be in the solid coconut oil after it melts?

I purchase organic unrefined coconut oil and it's always smooth with a consistent texture. When I use it as a base for lotions, I mix it with the kitchen aid stand mixer, and it gets a light, fluffy consistency. Those grains or crystals form I think when there's a lot of temperature change. You can melt the oil all the way, then let it cool and solidify again, and the crystals should be gone.
