If you are TTC (trying to conceive), including a lubricant in your intimate sessions can be super helpful, if not necessary, due to vaginal dryness. Fertility medications and the lack of spontaneity that comes along with having sex for the sole purpose of TTC can contribute to a much dryer sexual climate - if you know what we mean. Personal lubricants can make those baby-making sessions much more comfortable. Are water-based lubricants safe for conception, though? The answer is, it depends. There are certain ingredients to avoid when looking for a sperm-friendly water-based lubricant.
Glycerin: Because glycerin is made up of very dense molecules, it actually acts as a roadblock for sperm that is trying to make its way to an egg.
Petroleum jelly: Petroleum jelly can potentially contain toxic carcinogens that are harmful to your reproductive system.
Sperm needs lubrication that mimics that of cervical mucus in order to perform to the best of its abilities. This means skipping ingredients that may affect sperm motility and its ability to move spontaneously in an attempt to reach an egg.
Finding a water-based lubricant that is pH-balanced can help with safe conception.
Whether you are trying to conceive or not, you can trust the ingredients in Bloomi’s water-based lubricants. As always, our products are made with ultra-clean plant-based ingredients that are actually good for you.
