Pre-Seed is the only lubricant formulated by a woman Sperm Physiologist.
Meet Dr. E and learn more about her research.
I have been using your product…for 3 months now, and I think your phrase of “seriously fun baby making” is true! My husband and I really enjoy the product. Thanks!
Our patients love your products! Your products are the only lubricants we recommend. Thanks for making such great products!
I am so glad I can confidently recommend a lubricant to my subfertile patients that won't work against them.
Pre-Seed is the first lubricant with independent studies confirming that it does not harm human sperm (Agarwal et al., 2008; Vargas et al., 2011). According to Vargas et al, “Among the gels evaluated, only Pre-Seed did not show any sperm toxicity, making it the most appropriate lubricant choice for women who are trying to conceive.” Pre-Seed is also recommended in several clinical textbooks, as well as in the ASRM Practice Guideline “Optimizing Natural Fertility” and in the US Library of Medicine/NIH Guidelines for helping women identify their fertile days.

See you there!
Published studies over the past three decades have shown that most "everyday" lubricants and even olive oil, glycerin, saliva and water can kill sperm. In fact, sperm damage with leading lubricants has been cited as similar to that seen with contraceptive gels (Tulandi et al, 1982; Frishman et al, 1992; Miller et al, 1994; Kutteh et al, 1996; Anderson et al, 1998; Agarwal et al, 2008; Vargas et al, 2011).
Besides being “fertility-friendly,” Pre-Seed lubricant has been reported in independent studies to be as slippery and smooth as, if not better than, leading lubricants (Mahan et al, 2011). Pre-Seed’s isotonic formula has also been reported to be safer and less irritating to mucous membranes than leading lubricants, which because of their hypertonic formulas, can cause severe irritation and even tissue damage. (Adriaens & Remon, 2008; Russo et al., 2010).
