I edited my essay a bit in light of some new info - you CAN use a fingertip of Replens 1 hour before BD IF your pH is above 5, and it seems to me that RepHresh is better for cutoff, while Replens is better for o+12.

And a big HECK YEAH to Sylk. That stuff sounds great. Just use it as you would a lube for DTD.

great great info! Thanks so much atomic . And I agree, I think sylk is great. I used it as a lube when we dtd. I also think it's great to do a finger sylk just before you make your attempt if you are doing something like lime TBM. It could actually help you to get pregnant.
So atomic, what do you think of this: doing a replens finger 5 min. after attempt and every 30 min. for the next four hours is a good idea whether you are doing a cut off or O + 12 though because the first 4 hours is crucial. We don't know how long rephresh takes to lower pH and replens does it quickly. So I would think that for the first 4 hour use replens and then after that (if you are doing a cut off) try rephresh since the sperm are already in the cervical crypts. However, you said not to use rephresh and douche right? So for me many of us rephresh wouldn't be good to use 'cause if any ewcm crops up (which happens during O time) then lime douche needs to be used. This is the case for a cut off.
With O + 12, replens and lime douche would work great, I agree.
Aci jel actually raised my pH, but I have to try it out again. I've heard that this happens in some women= One little prince! (2008) and

By 4 hours around O time, the sperm is already out of your vagina and well on the way to the egg in the Fallopian tubes. I don't personally believe that what we do in the vagina hours and days later, has much effect at all on what happens in the Fallopian tube because our bodies are constantly producing more EWCM to help the sperm along. Otherwise the natural everyday pH of the vagina, which is 4.5, would affect our CM and not the other way around.
I personally feel that RepHresh is a better choice for cutoff because it lowers the pH of everything it touches to 4.5. Replens may act quickly but it contains pH buffers that raise pH to 4-5 anyway. Both products end up at a pH of 4-5 (this is straight from the company), that is what they were designed to do. The company even advises women to use RepHresh after sex to lower the pH of their husband's semen to the acidity of the healthy vagina and prevent flareups of yeast and BV. Since I don't know how long RepHresh takes to work, it may be minutes or hours and by that time sperm can be long gone if they "hear" or "smell" the egg calling to them, for people going for an O+12, Replens/Acijel seems to be better. RepHresh also shouldn't be used with lime douche because it reacts with things that are very low in pH to raise the pH.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

yeah, I get it now. Rephresh is definitely the best bet. Great research!
For me though, with doing lime TBM, whenever we decide to sway again, I'm probably better off with the replens/aci jel/ lime douche combo.
But if I decide to drop the TBM, then it's rephresh all the way!= One little prince! (2008) and
