Thank you Atomic!!! Your Rephresh post, has worked for me and several others!!!

NO, apparently I was given a bit of misinformation on another site...obviously I should have double checked but I'm just one person and I can't run down every detail to doublecheck unfortunately. Thank you for letting me know, I edited my essay.

I STILL 100% believe RepHresh is best at keeping pH low for cutoff timing and I have never ever thought that there is anything "magic" about acetic acid. I hope this doesn't put people off of using RepHresh because acetic acid or no, it IS designed specifically to lower the pH of everything it reacts with to 4-5.

perfect, thanks atomic for explaining!

Agree

Oh, and I did also want to point out one more thing I was thinking about last night - ALL lubes sway pink except for Pre-Seed, because they are hostile to sperm. Even human saliva kills sperm! Any lube you pick will help with your pink sway, even KY jelly. So if you don't like or trust RepHresh, if you think in your gut it won't work for you, that's ok. You can use Astroglide, Sylk, Acijel...whatever feels right to you and puts your mind at ease, because I really do believe that stressing over swaying sways blue a hell of a lot more than the difference between Replens and Acijel ever could. ;)

I just started using rephresh this cycle. I usually get a + opk on cd 17. Im due a fresh tube of rephresh on cd 15. Cani use Sylk as a lube and then rephresh on cd 18?

Hi I tried refresh!

Im not at my attempt yet but nearly as my cue 11 showeda high so should be ov in about six days.
Anyway I used a full applicator in the morning and bd that night. 20 mins after bd my ph was 4.8! I didn't check until the morning but then it 4.8 again! Also I used a lube (which doesn't sway it is a lotion which has a ph of 6 from my gynae-I was away so had no choice!

I used the rephresh as I was on hols and swimming and didn't want to be bothered with using aci jel all the time.

Im now going to stick to the aci-jel and sylke as Im not sure whether to use refresh. Can you use both? It seemed ok with the other lube I used and I want to use aci jel and sylke.

Thanks x

2SL, thanks for sharing your experience! That is really good info!

Acijel and Sylk are fine together. RepHresh is ~probably~ ok with them, but since their pH is on the low side I worry the RepHresh pH may rise as a result. I just want to really test them all out to make sure before I give anyone the ok to use them together, they are just so darn expensive I have to sneak them in here and there without DH asking me why I spent $300 on sex jelly when we hardly ever DTD! o.O

The RepHresh will react with the higher pH of the lube and lower it anyway - it's just things with low pH that make me nervous.

Yes, I think that should be fine. Do double check just to make sure pH is ok.

There was also one of the UK ladies who used acijel and had a boy
