The lure of Lubes!!

[zanacal]

You can only order it from online Australian or New Zealand chemists.

Z, thanks for that information! I kind of figured that after searching a little bit more.

I ordered some Sylk and tested the pH yesterday. It is almost exactly a 4.5 . I don't know how it reacts with my own body chemistry, but on litmus paper and on a pH strip, it was 4.5

Thanks for this info Atomic, this site is super and so informative!! I had no idea about some of the details info with some of the lubes and after reading this and some of the other info on thie site I am now planning on using Rephresh as part of my sway. For some reason AciGel did little to lower my pH around O time and now I think after reading some of the info in this site that my body was trying to compensate for it somehow? Most informative!

Yes, I agree, our bodies WANT to have an alkaline condition at O and may want to wash away anything that seems the "wrong" pH. I think this is the source of pH spikes. RepHresh should be able to handle this because it will chemically react to bring down the pH of the CM as well, so even if our bodies try and produce gobs of EWCM, the RepHresh will help to bring it down.

This is very interesting and helpful. I always used KY jelly and had 4 boys......

There are no guarantees unfortunately, and if you make a lot of EWCM, it will simply wash away the effects of any of these lubes and/or makes a little path for the sperm to swim in. Also, if your husband has very high sperm numbers, you can lose a lot of swimmers in the KY and it makes no difference because there are so many to replace them.

Hi atomic just to let you know none of these links worked for me.It says the link no longer exists.Just for future reference.
DHEA- Helpful or Harmful (this one has a comment from Dr. Potter!!)

Hi atomic these links dont seem to open?Just for future reference.

[atomic sagebrush]

I'm sorry Irishmom, something happened a few months ago and they updated the system for posting links and every once in awhile I stumble across one that didn't get updates. Let me search for them when I have a bit more time tomorrow and I will hopefully be able to repair them.

Is this Forelife a boy friendly one to use. Preseed isn't readily available in Australia. This one is.

Hi AS! I see KY on the list for girl but it is not recommended for swaying. Is it b/c of the higher pH or is it just not a good lube for TTC (I read the article about it but wanted your swaying take on it). We used it when Ds1 was conceived and were using it this time too so it always makes me feel like it is more boy friendly!
