Do you need to use Prefert daily?
No, you don’t have to use Prefert every day, just like you don’t have to have sex every day of the month to get pregnant. Normally you use it only around the days you ovulate.
The package insert for Sensilube states that the drug is not spermicidal. Can I then safely use it if I want to become pregnant?
No. The comment refers to the fact that this lubricant does not contain spermicides, so you will not get pregnant. There used to be lubricants and pastes that you could use as contraception. However, the acidity (pH) of the product is too high if you want to get pregnant. Too high an acidity and osmolarity of the product adversely affects sperm motility and viability.
Can you also use Prefert during non-fertile days, when the vagina does have a low PH, or will this cause the balance of the vagina to be disturbed and a fungal infection result?
You can also use Prefert during infertile days as long as it is not daily. Finally, men’s semen is also almost alkaline and does not always cause an infection. If you start using it really intensively, you run the risk of disturbing your vaginal flora, which can lead to bacterial vaginosis rather than a fungal infection.
