The most popular lubricants such as KY Jelly, Astroglide and Wet are water-based lubricants but they are not the best thing to use if you are trying to get pregnant. They have been shown to contain ingredients that are damaging to sperm and can make it harder for them to move.
A side note: The ingredients are not spermicides (kill sperm) just in case there is any one reading this thinking to use these lubricants as contraceptives.
Couples use lubricants if they experience vaginal dryness during intercourse and It has been shown that couples, who are trying to conceive, will experience this more often. Makes sense to me. There are definitely days when you have to have sex because the timing is right according to your fertility chart but you don’t really feel like it.
This is where lube can be a big help but just make sure to find a fertility-friendly one.
BabyDance Fertility Lube has been proven in studies to be fertility-friendly because not only is it safe for sperm, it actually helps them along their way through your cervix. This is why it uses an applicator so you get the lubricant up closer to the cervix. (like a tampon applicator)
Because it mimics the body’s own cervical fluid, it is also a great product to use if you find that you are not producing enough of this fluid around ovulation time, because it can help the sperm to swim through your cervix to meet the egg for conception.
