Lubricants??

Hi ladies i hope you don't mind this rather personal topic?! I've just been reading that using lubricants such as KY jelly can damage or even kill sperm. I just wondered if anyone else had heard of this or knew of any 'safe' lubricants to use. We only used a tiny amount (size of a 1p coin) but it seemed to help as it was quite uncomfortable for OH. As i'm now suffering AF i'm trying to figure out how we can be more successful next month!

  • Hi Sarah, I have read this somewhere that lube can kill sperm. Wherever I read it reccommended a kind that was 'safe' but I can't remember what kind or where I read it. If I do will let you know!! xxx
  • I have been looking into this a lot lately and have found something calles 'Preseed'. On other chat rooms the women rave about it saying they fell really quickly with it. I have used it and even though it is not the most romantic thing in the world it feels fine. No luckwith me yet though! Have a search on the internet...
  • Hi Sarah
    This is issue seems to conflict on the Internet search that I found. But people seem to rave about Pre seed lubricant though I have to say it doesn't sound the most romantic product in the world!:lol:
    However I have found an offer on a website that sells ovulation kits I was thinking about getting some of it to take with us to try on our Honeymoon anything that increases the changes of conceiving I will think about trying within in reason:roll:.
    Not sure if this will work but this is the web page I have found.
