a TMI question about lube

[AnyDream]

TBH I would avoid using mineral oil the whole time while you are TTC. Just for the whole reducing-exposure-to-possible-toxins side of things. I know they say it's safe, but that stuff is a petrol by-product, do you really want that near your DNA when it's at it's more vulnerable state?

What's wrong with non-oil lube? There's about a billion brands on the market. Astroglide springs to mind.

They are about as bad as spermacides when TTC, sperm find it hard to swim through it, and it changes the CM make-up too much. There have been heaps of articles published on lube when TTC, even saliva and water can kill sperm.
