Lube Noob ?

[butlerfan]

Hi we got KY because of issues with dryness-we used it once before I had my menopause doctor appointment who put me on meds and now I don't need it. It seems to work.

Pure Romance's Just Like Me is also good.

I personally use Preseed though. A little goes a long time.

We had a not-bad experience with coconut oil recently.

We use Shibari. It was recommended by my doc because I tend to get yeast infections, and supposedly it doesn't contain the ingredients that can contribute to those recurring. It's one you just squirt on/in - I don't have any experience with applicators.

how did you apply it?? Scoop some out, warm it to melt in hands, then apply?

Pretty much. Dug my (clean) fingers in, smeared it on. It melted in the process. H liked the coconut smell, too.

Before TTC, we used Astroglide.

From what I've heard, raw egg whites are not a good choice. LOL

Preseed is pricey but a little goes a long way!

We've also used some sort of oily lube that's KY brand and didn't like it.

We prefer KY warming lube. We use Preseed during my FW, but I'm really not a fan of it so all other times, it's KY for us. I've had problems with dryness for years so we've been using it for a long time.

I've heard good things about coconut oil.

Pre-ttc we used random ones. Then we had preseed for a bit, and now we just got this one.

I've liked KY Warming Liquid and also those Yours and Mine lubes (can't remember who makes them - one bottle is blue and one is purple).

I also have a strawberry flavored one for use during BJs. Would recommend.

[teachermomtobe]

We like KY Silk when not in FW. It's not sticky like some other ones. I accidentally bought regular KY and it is too sticky.

This thread came at a good time.

I really started to need lube this cycle and the only sperm friendly one we could find in stores was Preseed.

Last night was just awful and not good. I used it externally and used way too much and I really didn't like the feeling of the lube itself. I had high hopes for it since it was $30 - very disappointed. It was sticky when there was only a little applied and too slippery when too much.

I might try coconut oil next time. Coconut oil is sperm friendly right?

I use Preseed but I put it in a little travel bottle instead of using the applicators. I also use a water based strawberry flavored lube I got from one of those Slumber Parties a few years ago. I try to use water based lubes because I'm afraid of getting my sheets messed up. In my experience, the lube works better for me if I put it on him instead of me.

[notagoddess]

I use Pre-Seed during FW, but I much prefer KY Liquid the rest of the month. I find Pre-Seed too sticky.

[onesweetworld]

We use preseed. I'm not a fan of the internal applicator but I do it anyways during Ttc. We use revelation from passion parties but I think the company was sold.
We just dab on some on him and I jump on.

[onesweetworld]

Also stay away from any and all Warming lubes.

For non FW, Astroglide suffices, it hasn't irritated me yet, I prefer the liquid bottle.
My RE specifically told me not to use Pre-Seed during FW because it acts like glue at your cervix (it doesn't kill the sperm but it doesn't let them move either) she said Canola/ or Coconut Oil (liquid found in cooking oil aisle) coconut oil worked great
