Aloe based lube for TTC pink, Jo brand

[maidentomother]

So late last night my ears (I have a mysterious congested ear problem) were hurting so I took pseudoephedrine + some other antihistamines, purely out of necessity. Then very early this morning it was BD time but after a shower (also to help ears) I was really dry. I felt EWCM up at my cervix but that's it. The best thing I had on hand was an organic lube I randomly bought last week at a lingerie/fetish store, called Jo -

which contains: Water (Aqua), Locust Bean Gum*, Aloe Barbendensis Leaf Juice*, Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Pulp Powder*, Xanthan Gum, Citrus Extract* (* = Certified Organic Ingredients)

- and I figured it was definitely better than coconut oil which is what I would otherwise have used. No idea on pH but I can test it. It felt pretty natural and didn't irritate me like most lubes.

Anyone know anything about sperm + aloe? I'm hoping it basically was the equivalent of using something like Sylk or acigel, pink friendly and not ideal for conception but not completely contraceptive, either. YesBaby is sperm friendly and aloe based BUT it's pH balanced for sperm. Still the ingredients are otherwise very similar, so maybe Jo is in between sperm friendly and sperm unfriendly? Sperm neutral?

Unless they are sold as "sperm safe" or "conception friendly" then all lubes are sperm unfriendly and on paper should sway pink. I'm sure htere is a continuum where some are worse than others but ingredients alone (or even pH) don't tell me that - there are studies done that test a variety of different effects on sperm.

Ah well, time to get some YesBaby then. Thanks atomic!
