While typical vaginal pH levels falls between 3.8 and 4.5 (i.e. slightly acidic), optimal pH levels for sperm viability fall between 7 and 8.5 (i.e. an alkaline environment). During ovulation, vaginal pH levels move into the 7+ range (aka become more alkaline) to create a favorable environment for sperm movement and, of course, pregnancy. Conceptria falls around pH 7.25-7.8 to help set the stage in the right way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"accordion__title inline-richtext h4\"\u003eWhy try a fertility friendly lubricant when trying to conceive?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if your daily go-to lubricants don’t contain spermicide, they can affect sperm movement. Conceptria sets the stage with a formula that not only helps create the perfect environment for the little guys but also helps keep your intimacy efforts comfortable and fun. Conceptria accomplishes this with a combination of elements – pH-balance, low osmolality, and biocompatibility testing – that mimic a fertile vaginal environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo matter how you go about your conception journey, remember to steer clear of ingredients that aren’t fertility friendly (i.e. parabens!) and grab a lubricant that’s made to help, not harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"accordion__title inline-richtext h4\"\u003eWhat is osmolality and why does it matter in lubricant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOsmolality is a number or range that show how dense or “full” of molecules something is. When you know a lubricant’s osmolality, you’ll know how well it will or won’t play with your body – in this case, vaginal fluids and surrounding tissue. Your body naturally works hard to keep molecules balanced –especially when something new like a lubricant is added to the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut simply, the closer a lubricant is to your intimate area’s natural osmolality levels, the more it plays well with your body!
