Just wondering which is the best oil for cleaning boars bits when tepid water just isn't enough? Mineral or coconut? Or should I just get a bottle of both?

Ooh, hope someone can reply to this - I used Swarfega the first time on my boars and they didn't appreciate smelling like a grease monkey.
Just give them a good lathering in the nether regions now with piggy shampoo but am open to ideas

I didnt use any oil or shampoo with Rodney, just the water.
Why do you want to use oil? - just out of interest?

For cleaning the penis and it's gunk Hibiscrub diluted at 2% is the stuff to use.
Baby oil is very good at breaking up the wax gland secretions (located at the base of the spine) if they are building up, followed by a bath. I would not advise using oils in the penile sheath. A tiny touch of sudocrem after cleaning the penis helps make it feel more comfortable.

Nice! >>>
I'm not sure that you should be using any oil to clean him. Does it need cleaning? There should be a certain amount of white smegma on him, but if its very coated then a bottom bath in warm salty water should be enough.
If you have any problems getting the penis to go back in, I believe a small amount of vaseline or K Y jelly will help it. I never had any issues with Rods, it just went back in on its on all the time.
Good luck!
