Customer Reviews of Pre-Seed Personal Lubricant - Multi-use Tube
Customer Review: Don't waste your money - canola oil is better and cheaper
Summary: 2 Stars
My wife and I had been using preseed for about 1.5 years without success. We started seeing a fertility doctor. When we informed her we were using this she was already familiar with the product. She said that while it wasn't as bad for TTC as regular lubricants were, there was nothing special about preseed that was particularly helpful either. She told us it was purely marketing to sell the product. She informed us it would be best not using any lubricant if possible. However, if lubricant is necessary, we'd be much better off using canola oil, with the additional benefit that it is a LOT cheaper. We switched to canola oil and subsequently conceived 3 months later (FYI...we did not actually undergo any fertility treatments, so don't think that infertility had anything to do with our failure to conceive).
The doctor's advice and our subsequent success aside, I was not all that thrilled with the product for the 1.5 years that I was using it. I merely continued using it because I was under the impression it was beneficial. However, I found preseed to be a very unnatural and uncomfortable lube. The instructions say to use an entire applicator at a time. When doing so I found the quantity of lubricant to be so extreme that it vastly overlubricated, removing nearly all sensation. We tried cutting back to to half an applicator at a time and found it to be a very unfortunate tradeoff. Unlike normal lubes, preseed seems to start to dry out quickly, and when it does you end up with worse than no lube. Instead it leaves the skin sticky...slightly tacky. That turns out to be not so productive. So when cutting back the quantity, you end up trading over-lubrication for under-lubrication. We tried various quantities in between and could never achieve something that worked well.
On the other hand, the very first time I used the canola oil, I was instantly happy with the way it worked. We took one of our water-based lube bottles, washed it out thoroughly, and filled it with canola oil. That made a much more convenient dispenser than the bottle you get from the grocery store. About 4 drops or so of oil from the bottle turned out to be perfect. It achieved just the perfect level of lubrication and stayed that way. You can adjust the number of drops to your personal preference. The important thing is that oil doesn't really dry out, so whatever quantity works at the beginning will be fine the whole way through.
Did switching from preseed to canola oil help us conceive? I really can't say. Although we certainly had success rather quickly, that could be merely coincidence. However, what I can say is that the preseed certainly didn't help. The only thing it did was give us a less pleasant experience and take a bunch of our money. Even now that we've finally conceived, I'll still stick with canola oil rather than switching back to the water based lube we used to use.
So, I'm giving this product 2 stars instead of 1 only because I think it could have been worse (as the fertility doc said, it wasn't as bad as regular lube). However, it wasn't very enjoyable and didn't give much of the benefit that it claims, and didn't perform nearly as good as a product MUCH cheaper and available in any grocery store, so I can't give it any more than 2 stars.
Description of Pre-Seed Personal Lubricant - Multi-use Tube
Finally! Pre~Seed is now available in a 40 gm tube with 6 twist-on applicators. What does that mean for you? No more pre-defined insertions; no more wasted Pre-Seed. Now, you can choose the amount of product you want to apply intravaginally before intercourse. Best of all, the applicators can be washed and re-used, allowing you to use your entire tube the way you want to. Same sperm friendly formula as always, just a new way to use it! Unlike other lubricants, Pre-Seed is inserted into the vaginal canal where it mimics your bodys natural secretions. Applying in this fashion allows Pre-Seeds patented moisturizing formula to coat the vaginal canal and cervical opening. The result? Your partners sperm enter into an optimal environment in which they can begin their journey to the egg. Although designed specifically for trying-to-conceive couples, Pre-Seed also has a loyal following with women in a variety of different life stages. Because its less irritating than other off-the-shelf lubricants, its often used by women with pelvic pain issues and women undergoing hormonal changes and/or dryness. Note that the preservative in this multi-use tube format employs a slightly stronger preservative than is used in the traditional Pre-Seed w/single use applicator. As a result, it may cause some sensitive women more discomfort than the single-use applicators. Something to keep in mind when selecting the right product for you!Health Care
