Many lubricants which claim to be sperm-safe could actually be harmful. A study found three lubes marketed as “sperm-friendly” can reduce motility, or their ability to swim in the right direction. Some products were found to reduce sperm motility, while others stopped sperm from being able to move altogether.
Traditional lubes have been shown to damage sperm motility because they are too acidic, which has led to an increase in demand for so-called “fertility-friendly” lubricants. These products cost up to four times more than traditional lube. Lead author of the study said: “This study is important because it highlights that these so-called sperm-friendly lubricants may actually hinder normal conception.”
