System JO Actively Trying Lubricant

System JO Actively Trying lubricant is a specialized, fertility-friendly personal lubricant designed specifically for couples who are actively trying to conceive. Unlike conventional water-based lubes that can alter vaginal pH and hinder sperm motility, this formula creates a sperm-compatible environment to support natural conception efforts while providing comfortable moisture.

Optimized pH Balance for Sperm Health

The most critical feature of System JO Actively Trying is its scientifically optimized pH level, which is formulated to mimic the natural alkaline balance of semen and fertile cervical mucus. Standard personal lubricants often have an acidic pH that can create a hostile environment for sperm, causing them to lose motility or die prematurely upon entry. By replicating the body's natural chemistry during the fertile window, Actively Trying ensures that sperm can swim freely through the reproductive tract without facing unnecessary chemical barriers, thereby increasing the chances of successful fertilization.

Water-Based Formula with Natural Sensation

Despite its specialized function, this product retains the benefits of a high-quality water-based lubricant. The formula is silky smooth and lightweight, allowing it to mix seamlessly with natural body fluids without creating a thick, slippery barrier that feels artificial. This natural-feeling texture enhances intimacy by reducing friction and relieving vaginal dryness, allowing partners to focus on connection and pleasure without the discomfort associated with dryness. Because it is water-based, it is generally easy to clean up and is safe for use with most sex toys, though users should always check toy material compatibility.

Key Ingredients and Safety Profile

The product contains a blend of ingredients including water, propylene glycol, hydroxyethylcellulose, and fructose to ensure stability and slip. It also includes arabinogalactan, a natural polysaccharide derived from the gums of the galactose-producing tree, which contributes to the lubricant's viscosity and soothing properties. While the formula is designed to be gentle, it does contain methylparaben and propylparabens as preservatives. These are generally considered safe for topical use and help prevent bacterial growth in the product, but individuals with specific sensitivities to parabens should review the ingredient list carefully before use.

Usage and Compatibility Considerations

System JO Actively Trying is intended for internal use during intercourse or solo play when conception is the goal. It is crucial to note that this lubricant is NOT compatible with latex condoms. The specific chemical composition required to maintain sperm viability can degrade latex, leading to potential breakage or leakage. Users planning to use barrier protection for STI prevention or pregnancy prevention should opt for a standard, spermicidal, or condom-safe lubricant instead. Additionally, because the formula is designed to mimic semen, it may stain sheets or clothing, though typically less than oil-based lubes.

Application and Experience

For optimal results, apply a small amount of Actively Trying directly to the vulva and vaginal opening prior to intercourse. The water-based consistency means it may absorb quickly, so having a bit extra on hand is recommended for longer sessions. The unscented, unflavored nature of the product ensures it does not interfere with natural body scents or introduce foreign flavors that might be unpleasant during intimacy. Couples can use it exactly as they would a regular lube, without needing to alter their technique or positioning, making it a seamless addition to their intimate life during the trying-to-conceive journey.
