The pregnancy preparation stage is the preparation stage for couples to welcome the arrival of new life. Lubricant plays an important role in pregnancy preparation. This article will focus on the importance of lubricants in preparing for pregnancy and how to choose the right lubricant.
1. The importance of lubricants:
During sex, proper lubrication can reduce discomfort and improve the sexual experience. For pregnancy preparation, the importance of lubricants is even more prominent. During ovulation, the secretions in a woman’s body become thinner, and proper lubricants can help sperm pass through the vagina better and increase the pregnancy rate. In addition, lubricants can also relieve dryness, irritation and pain during sex, increase the comfort of sex, and increase the frequency of sex between couples.
2. How to choose lubricant:
(1) Safety of ingredients: When choosing a lubricant, you should pay attention to whether its ingredients are safe and harmless. It is recommended to choose water-soluble lubricants and avoid products containing irritating ingredients such as preservatives, fragrances, and alcohol to avoid adverse effects on the reproductive system.
(2) pH balance: The pH value of female vagina is generally acidic, while male semen is alkaline. Therefore, choosing a lubricant with a balanced pH value can be better compatible with sperm and increase the chance of pregnancy.
(3) Mildness: Lubricant should be mild to avoid irritation to the vaginal mucosa, otherwise it may affect pregnancy.
(4) Durability: Choosing a lubricant with longer durability can ensure the comfort of the entire sex process and avoid dryness and pain caused by insufficient lubrication.
(5) No sperm toxicity: Some lubricants may contain bactericides or other ingredients that have a toxic effect on sperm, so choose products without sperm toxicity.
3. Precautions for the use of lubricants:
(1) Avoid excessive use: Excessive use of lubricant may affect the mobility and penetration of sperm. It is recommended to use an appropriate amount of lubricant according to personal needs.
(2) Avoid using lubricants containing sperm-killing ingredients: Some lubricants may contain sperm-killing ingredients. Please read the product instructions when using them to avoid adverse effects on sperm.
(3) Avoid using oil-based lubricants: Oil-based lubricants may cause damage to condoms and are not easy to clean. It is recommended to chooseChoose water-soluble lubricant.
(4) Avoid excessive cleaning: Excessive cleaning of the vagina will destroy the normal acid-base balance and affect the ability to conceive. Therefore, do not over-cleanse your vagina after using lubricant.
To sum up, lubricants play an important role in preparing for pregnancy, which can improve the sexual experience and promote pregnancy. When choosing a lubricant, you should pay attention to the safety of its ingredients, pH balance, mildness, durability and whether it has sperm toxicity. When using lubricants, follow the principles of using them in moderation, avoiding sperm-killing ingredients and oily lubricants, and avoiding excessive cleaning.
