My fiance and I are looking for a good spermicidal lubricant we can use in addition to BCP. Any suggestions?

Hi luvbert,

I prefer Ortho Options Gynol II. It is a 2% Nonoxynol-9 spermicide that will also provide a modest amount of lubrication. I really don't care for dual use products (spermicide/lubricant). If we need more lube we use Astroglide.

Good luck

My bf and I, in addition to bcp, use VCF, or Vaginal Contraceptive Film, made by Apothecus Pharmaceutical Corp. Even though it wasn't designed as a lubricant per se, when I use it, I get so wet that spots form on the sheets. You don't need an applicator for it, and it last from fifteen minutes after insertion to three hours. The company has a website you might want to check out: www.apothecus.com

Hope I helped!

Odd, I found that VCF absorbed all of my (normally more than adequate) natural lubrication. We found that Astroglide was a necessary addition to VCF.

I used KY w/spermicide a while back...there are probably better ones out there now,but it was convenient to have a lube with protection added....

I have a box of Conceptrol gel (Ortho Options) in prefilled applicators just in case (I use Nuvaring).
