Excuse me for getting personal, but what's in your lubricant?

Submitted by Angie Tue 12/14/2010

If you're having baby-making sex, what you don't know can hurt you, or at least make it a little more difficult to get pregnant. You may not realize that the type of spermicide you use can affect your chances of conception.

In fact, recently Swiss researchers tested four common vaginal lubricants, Felis Lubricant, Replens Vaginal Moisturizer, Aquasonic Ultrasound Gel, and Pre-Seed.

All four lubricants are labeled as "not spermicidal", but the researchers found that only Pre-Seed was non-toxic to sperm. The other three lubricants reduced sperm movement by up to 88 percent. The study was funded by Hygis, a Swiss company that resells pharmaceutical compounds but does not produce Pre-Seed.

Pre-Seed can be found in some retail stores, but is also available online. Remember, there are other lubricants on the market that may test as well as Pre-seed, but were not included in the research report. Do your homework to find the best product for you.
