Nipple Cream Discussion!

So, I'm only 21 weeks and I've been experiencing dry nipples. I went out and purchased Lansinoh HPA and used it after a shower. Some women prefer not to use this product. I looked online and saw recipes for homemade products. Out of curiosity, any of you ladies made a homemade cream? Pro's and con's?
