Hi folks,

we've had a little discussion recently on lubricants and what is good for TTC.

Here are some details from Pre-Seed's website that might help:


Which Products Damage Sperm?

We do not recommend the use of Replens, FemGlide, Very Private, KY Jelly, Summers Eve, KY Liquid, Astroglide, Moist Again or Klick products. The reasons are given in the Table below.

We also do not recommend the following common 'home' remedies for vaginal dryness - egg white, saliva, tap water, mineral oil or baby oil. The reasons are given in the Table below.

The optimum pH value for sperm migration and survival in the cervical mucus is between 7.0 and 8.5 (according to the World Health Organization manual for examination of human semen and sperm-cervical mucus interaction 4th edition 2000). Sperm are very sensitive to low (acidic) pH and, to a lesser extent, elevated (alkaline) pH. Below pH levels of 6.9, sperm die at a rate that increases with lowering pH.

Sperm are also sensitive to both high and low osmolarities (ion concentration in solution) because these can cause them to either shrink or swell beyond their "critical volume limits". A physiologic osmolarity around 360 mOsm/kg (that of semen) is best for sperm function.

There is the table from their website: I will try and upload it to photobucket later and add it as an image, rather than this... TABLE.

Hee hee!! Just had to have a laugh -- notice that this info is from 'Pre-seed's website' -- Of course they are going to rubbish every other lubricant known to humanity!!!

I'm not saying this info isn't true -- just makes you think doesn't it!!!?

Hey if it works I won't be knocking it...lol

without reading what was said from pre-seeds website (because that of course will be biased as you mentioned already)....ky and other lubes like that have a substance in them that can kill sperm, so not so great. saliva has enzymes that also can deteriorate sperm, but saliva is not likely to get so much up in the right spots to make as much of a difference, and i have heard nothing but great things about pre-seed, which was actually made with conception in mind, for its helpofulness in mobility to the sperm, lack of harm to the sperm, and nice slippery feeling for both partners. so yeah, preseed it is.

ppprrreeeeseeeeed! I love this stuufff! first month using it, so i dont know if it works yet but weyhey! Who needs to be turned on when you got this stuff?
hahahaha
