lets talk lube

[lennonkdc]

Hey ladies, I post on TTC>35, but thought I'd ask the whole group about sperm friendly lubes. I know preseed is pretty popular, but pricey. I recently saw that Astroglide now makes a sperm friendly lube, and there's one called 'yes baby' or that some people use olive oil, or even egg whites.

I was thinking that before I shelled out big bucks on a new lube collection I'd ask you lovely ladies if you had rants or raves on the sperm friendly lube front. 

TIA!

Please do not put egg whites in your vag. That sounds like a recipe for an infection. That being said, several ladies here have vouched that coconut oil is a great sperm-friendly lubricant.

I don't have any advice, but I believe shadesofgold uses the TTC friendly astroglide

Yep! We started using Astroglide TTC last cycle. It was cheap on Amazon and claims all the benefits of PreSeed. We just needed something to move things along a bit. Only annoyance is that it comes in applicators that are supposed to be one-time use but is waaay too much for one bone. Otherwise, totally worth it.

egg whites in the vag sound like a very bad idea. I would not recommend that. Where in the world did you read/hear that?!

We use preseed, but again, like a lot of people, we use it very sparingly so it lasts a lot longer than if we used it as directed.

It's mentioned in TCOYF. Not as advice to follow, but in a vignette about a couple trying this method and keeping up their sense of humor around the occasional ridiculousness of the TTC process.

I wouldn't do it, but it's in there!

Egg whites are actually recommended in a book about preconception, ttc and pregnancy I've read, written I think by a doctor. I am not home and can't think of the book title but yes this is a thing. Not that I partook in coochie scrambled eggs.

Now there's a mental image.

Ok, admit it. Atleast one of you is making scrambled eggs during sex.

Someone here has to have tried it, at least once! I want to know!

The women on BC love putting foodstuffs into their hoohas. They have an entire thread/board dedicated to using baking soda in your vag. Something about it balancing your pH or sumshit, making it easier for sperm. Egg whites, for sure. I have seen that talked about over there on numerous occasions.

No way in hell I am putting anything in my vag except dick, dildos and menstrual cups.

And fingers...  That's why vikingmidwife said we can't get pregnant. Or something. #neverforget

I have sensitive lady parts. We don't even use lube because i'm allergic to most of them.

How do people put all these different kinds of food products in their vags and not spend half of their life in the doctor's office? I just don't understand.

IKR. How do they not have permanent yeast infections?

[lennonkdc]

Oh god no, I'd never try the egg whites thing. I just mentioned it in passing I guess, bc it was in TCOYF and I've seen it suggested on some natural remedy type Web sites.
Right now I think I'm between order the Yes Baby kit www.yesyesyes.org/yesbaby.htm
or the astroglide ttc. I like that the Yes Baby is organic, but I wonder if that really matters....

Actually my first thought is what kinds of nasty stains they have on their sheets

My first thought is if I'm supposed to whip it into meringue first.

[kawaiikitsune]

Honestly, any of those sperm-friendly lubes will do but just keep in mind that they won't necessarily help you get pregnant, it isn't a TTC aid. The only benefit really is that it mimics fertile CM for women who don't produce a subsequent amount on their own. So if you're just looking for a good lube that won't hinder the sperm, any will do. Organic or not is really a matter of preference.

[PepperPottsJ]

lennonkdc I had to idea about the astroglide or yes one!!! Will have to research!!

 I know that it won't 'help' me get KU, but I do seem to need some help in the CM department. I've tried a few things to boost my body's production, drinking more water, cutting out antihistamines, etc. I started looking into sperm friendly lubes, as I had only heard preseed mentioned on TCF and TD. I was pleasantly surprised to see there were a few options and thought I'd see if any one had tried them. (except for the egg whites, that seems ridiculous and no one should try that....)

From the reviews read online (and the endorsements from a few ladies here), Astroglide TTC seems a really good Preseed alternative.

TTC-friendly lube doesn't help with CM, though. It replaces arousal fluid to make sex more lubricated. Just FYI!

It was TD. It was a long time ago. The ladies said pretty much the same things about it as they did here.

Eta I'm pretty sure it had a couple more pages though. I could be wrong.
