I think Sylk would probably be a good option, as this was recommended to me (prior to falling pregnant, though) because I was so sensitive to everything and always had thrush-like rashes, etc.
What about sweet almond oil from the health food shop? It is a common ingredient in good massage oils (often with essential oils added) and can be used incooking too! But it is a nice fine oil that is rather lubricative! I use it on bubs' bottom at change time. I get a big bottle of Melrose brand and dispense it into smaller cosmetic plastic bottle for diff uses!
I've just been looking into Sylk and here's what their website says
"Although Sylk is not intended as a spermicide, Sylk's pH balance can affect motility, the movement of sperm and should therefore not be used if pregnancy is desired. (Also true of most other personal lubricants!)
When ovulation occurs, the pH balance changes to around 7 which is a neutral pH state. Sylk has a pH balance of 4.5 - 4.7, similar to the normal vaginal environment, i.e. slightly acidic. This is deliberate to keep the vagina healthy and not alter the balance.
If you're trying for a baby, we suggest Pre-seed - click on this name or see our Links & Resources Page. Avoid petroleum jelly, massage oils, aromatic oils, baby or other oils made from minerals and containing paraffin and fragrances, at all times.
However, once you're confirmed pregnant, you can safely return to using Sylk because it is gentle, healthy and 100% free from petrochemicals like paraben perservative and propylene glycol."
added that last paragraph...sorry I misread the post...thought it was what lube to use when TTC
