Preseed?  

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
I've heard of Preseed before but was wondering if anyone could tell me more about it and where to buy it.

We used it inconsistently when we were TTC our daughter, and liked it. I liked it enough that were it not for the cost, it would be the lube I kept around for everyday use.

I ordered from Blowfish.com (they're a sex toy store, so it's not the most work-safe website, and if dildos and stuff offend you, it's not the place for you to shop. The Blowfish founders are friends of a friend of mine, which was how I found out they sold it.) Amazon.com also has it, but Blowfish could get it to me faster, thus the choice to order from them.

We started using it also recently, and really like it. I got some at the drug dipensary at the fertility clinic I go too...I`m not sure if you can get it at a regular pharmacy. I've never seen it, but I`ve never looked for it either!
I actually got a prescription from the fertility doctor, so my insurance covers it. I never imagine I`d get a script for lubricant !!


My only problem with it, is that it comes in individual packages (they look like those towelettes packages you get at the restaurant!) and a package is quite alot of the stuff. You can`t save the opened package for later, and we have never used more than half a package, so there is alot of waste. When I`m not ovulating, my thrifty husband prefers us to use the regular stuff! (He says he wants to save the "good-expensive-stuff" for ovulation time only!!)

I personnally prefer it to the regular stuff, which I find sticky and smells like chemicals (He claims it`s all in my head! It`s not!).

Oh, yea...one more thing...

If I remember correctly, "Preseed" is the male use version. They also make a female use, but I forget how it`s called. The pharmacist said they are equivalent, it`s just a matter of personnal preference (use it on him or yourself)

Hmm, I don't know where you are but the Preseed that I buy here in the US is for female use and comes in a little tube. It's probably the same thing just packaged differently. I usually only use half of a tube and save the other half for the following night in a ziplock baggie. I bought mine at early-pregnancy-tests.com. Preseed is a sperm friendly lubricant (regular lubricants tend to kill sperm.)

I use preseed and love it! I believe it used to only be sold in single use applicators and packets, but the last time i ordered it was now offered in a tube with a flip top as well which i prefer. I found there was too much in the single use applicator (although, i second the tip on storing the extra in a ziplock bag!) and i did not want to waste it due to the cost like others said.

I have bought it directly from the company http://www.preseed.com/proddetail.php?prod=6001
but looks like they are currently out of stock of the 3.5 oz tube. They always shipped fast and reliably.

Good luck!

I bought some preseed and we liked it fine. However, I misunderstood its purpose. I thought it helped the sperm along and it doesn't claim to actually do that (I saw when I actually read the package!)

Regular lube is BAD and slows down the sperm and preseed doesn't. So it isn't any better to use preseed than to use no lube at all.

regular lube = bad
no lube or preseed = neutral
having an orgasm = good (that DOES suck the sperm up where they need to go)

good luck!!

It's often misunderstood that PreSeed is a replacement for EWCM. A lot of TTCers use it for that but really, it's just sperm friendly lube.

That's what I meant and that is how I misunderstood it.

WHen I bought it I got the tube with the flip top - much less waste!

I love preseed! It increased sensations for dh and I by a lot. I would use it every single time if it weren't for the cost. For those who find it too expensive Slippery Stuff also claims to be safe.

Ok, so I finally got around to reading the label of the little package we use. It made by Pre-seed, but it's called his-seed (am I the only one that finds this name extremely cheezy!!). The pharmacist filling my prescription just asked which one we'd prefer.
The fertility dr. recommended for sperm mobility, but also he said it was a better quality lube that would cause less irritation. Because I haven't been ovulating in almost a year, my estrogen is low and vaginal lining is thin and sensitive.

Then the Pre-Seed should help a lot!

Hi

I m also TTC using preseed but i have so many stories over the internet abt miscarriages if conceived through preseed. Could you let me know whether its safe to use preseed.Tks
post #16 of 17
I don't think I've ever read a story about that. I googled it and didn't see anything. Where have you read this? Miscarriages are so common it would be easy to find lots of people who m/c after using any type of lube.
