They're not really thinking about your ass when they put those warnings on there.

"External use only" means that it hasn't been evaluated for internal use and for some reason the FDA doesn't think that it is "generally recognized as safe". It means don't eat, don't inject, don't put up your nose or in your eyes, and generally keep away from mucous membranes (which includes the lining of your intestinal tract). In fact it is more important to keep unknown chemicals away from your rectum than your mouth, because there aren't the same safeguards (taste, etc.) down there.
Concentrated soap won't kill you, true (in most cases, although they have had reports in the medical press of soaps damaging the lining of the intestine and causing serious colitis), but when used for masturbation or anything that uses extended rubbing it can get uncomfortable. Externally conditioner and lotion should be fine, but I wouldn't use them internally (i.e. only for rubbing your penis or clit, not for G-spotting).
Most coconut oil should be safe unless you're sensitive. The processes are either certified or "Generally recognized as safe", but from time to time the FDA does realize that something isn't quite so safe. For all the complaints the government generally is on the ball (unless they're interfered with), so I'd say go ahead and try whatever oil you want, and if you have a problem try a different one.
Not sure exactly what the process lubes need to go through is. I know that all of the warnings on "novelty toys" are because they don't test them or guarantee their safety, whereas the quality manufacturers (Tantus, Vixen, etc.) do guarantee their safety. less

Ive had sex a million times without lube, but never ever ever tried anything like that - reminds me of a skankt teenage boyfriend who thought using cling wrap would be ok cause we didn't have condoms!! suffice to say he got dumped

we find that some good old-fashioned saliva works for most needs ;} i have never tried anything other than lube, however i have heard of stories of people using food products, like whip cream or even butter without any bad reactions!

Saliva has bugs in it and can cause a problem if you're susceptible.
Saliva isn't generally thick enough for anal use.

Although, medically "external use" usually means keep away from your mucous membranes and open wounds and that it isn't to eat. Anything that would cause absorption, (like your nose, ears, mouth, anus, vagina, digestive system etc) will also say "topical use only." Which means only ON your skin, not in anywhere. Some hemorrhoid ointments are meant for use with an applicator, meaning they go in a LITTLE bit to get to an "internal" hem, and although some may be absorbed, it still shouldn't be used other places where absorption could happen. Like your mouth. Blech.
Things like Vagasil say "for external use" too, and a lot of people put it IN their vaginas, although it's supposed to only be used on the surface tissue. Other vaginal ointments and creams say specifically "for vaginal use only." I remember a pharmacist friend of mine said ROLLS of "for vaginal use only" stickers were always ending up missing from the pharmacy. We had one on the phone we used at the head shop I worked at when I was a kid.
I prefer the term "topical use" or for the directions to be specific to the region to be used.

I've used soap for anal in the shower a few times, that probably wasn't the smartest idea. At least it was soap for sensitive skin?

I don't think occasional use is going to hurt you. It might make you have to poop, though. Soap is a laxative. Detergent (The only commonly available actual "soap" is Ivory and Dr. Bronner's. Most of what we think of as "soap" is detergent. They are actually molecularly and chemically different.) is also a laxative. In small doses, neither should harm you. Of course, if there is any irritation, stop using it. I think that goes without saying.

Wow, shampoo. Most shampoos have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) in them, and I get rashes just from using that stuff on my hands or face or legs. I cringe to think what would happen if I got that stuff in one of my more intimate areas.

Not to say that you should use soap in your butt, or anything. Most "soaps" are not even good for your delicate areas - as they are heavy on the detergent factor. Ouchie!

That used to be commonly done, causes some nasty cramps, but it does cause "evacuation of the bowels." In the hospital, especially the ER, if someone comes in seriously constipated, but not impacted, or needs to be evacuated before a procedure, we do an enema with castile soap suds, in a high hanging enema. Ivory has been used for these suds as well, being "99.89% pure."

I remember my aunt shaving bits of Ivory when her kids would get stopped up, too. But, like I said, aside from Ivory and Dr. Bronner's most things we call "soap" on the market today are detergent, which is different. Kirks makes a real soap, and of course there are Artisan Soaps, but they are too expensive to use a laxatives.

Ah, OMG, that sounds painful!! No, never. If it's not supposed to be stuck up there, I don't stick it there.

He said ir worked for a bit then she had a horrible reaction and had to go to ER.
WOW...
Has anyone used something as a lubricant that did work or even tell us what didn't. Has anyone wanted to suggest something that was really unsafe? less

Personally I haven't tried anything past water one time when I was super drunk... needless to say it didn't work out.
I will say that warming lube= fire lube.

Crisco works OK, in fact there's a lube called Bottoms Up Butt Wax which is made from "partially hydrogenated soybean oil", which is coincidentally what Crisco is.

Cleanup can be difficult, and I wouldn't recommend the butter flavor version, but shortening works when you want a heavy lubricant. Not good for rapid thrusting play, but it stays around on big plugs and other large toys that move relatively slowly.

I use conditioner when I'm in the shower, I only keep water based lubricants on hand, and they are water based, so they don't last for shower play.

There are just some things in life that you accept no substitute for - the right lube is no exception. That would be like using shampoo in your engine when you don't have any motor oil.
