Study on contraception and sexual lube

in TTC After a Loss
I'm sure that we all know this, but wanted to share this article I read on Medscape. Link: https://www.reuters.com. Here are some excerpts:


"The researchers examined sperm motility in test tubes in the presence of five commercial gels and four common oils. The semen samples from 22 healthy donors were examined over the course of an hour of exposure to each product.

All the commercial lubricants except Pre-Seed, a product specifically formulated for couples trying to conceive, impaired the sperm's overall movement and their ability to move forward.

In addition to Pre-Seed and the two recalled K-Y gels, the study looked at K-Y Warming Jelly and Astroglide.

The study found no negative impact on sperm from exposure to canola or baby oil. Sesame oil, however, was associated with an immediate, drastic decline in sperm movement.

And mustard oil had the opposite effect. When researchers mixed mustard oil with semen, the sperm became hyperactive and stayed that way for at least an hour.

Chohan's laboratory tested mustard oil because sex workers in Bangladesh often use it as a vaginal lubricant as well as to try to kill bacteria. The authors called the results "very interesting" and suggested mustard oil should be studied further."

...

"Behr said he was surprised a few years back when he learned Astroglide, "a lubricant marketed to fertility practices, had some spermicidal properties." Stanford fertility doctors give patients who need lubricants samples of mineral oil, which is inexpensive, nontoxic and readily available, he said."


Sorry ladies, you might have to give this up....

    Interesting stuff about mustard oil!  As a MFI couple we tried the pre-seed (man that one tube lasted for-e-v-e-r!)  But now with IUIs and IVF we don't bother.  We just use his and hers about three times a year outside of fertile window for something extra fun.  But bacon lube?  I'm a girl that could get behind that if it was tasty. LOL

    CVS seemed to be *the* place if you want to get it in person.  If you want to order it, you might find it cheaper on the web.

    Wal-mart or Target. Look for the least excitingly packaged lube.

    I've never bought it in person, only on Amazon. It does last a really, really long time though because a little goes a long way. Apparently, good ol' mineral oil is a cheap alternative that works well, too.
