Couples who want to get pregnant naturally may choose Conceive Plus, a sperm-friendly lubricant containing magnesium and calcium ions. Conceive Plus was one of the first fertility lubricants on the market and remains a popular choice for couples trying to conceive.

Zoom Baby stocks Conceive Plus alongside other fertility-friendly lubricants, including Pre-Seed fertility lubricant.

How To Start Using Conceive Plus

The lubricant comes with pre-filled applicators and a multi-use tube, which should be used simultaneously for maximum effect. One applicator should be used up to 15 minutes before sexual intercourse with the other being used during intercourse (as a lubricant).

Using The Multi-Use Tube

Conceive Plus tubes come in two sizes. The smaller Conceive Plus 30ml tube is a popular choice for couples who are using the lubricant for the first time. The bigger size is the Conceive Plus 75ml tube, which offers better value for money if you plan on using the lubricant regularly.

Make sure to remove the safety seal under the cap before you first use it. Put a small amount of the lubricant either on the penis or in the vagina, reapplying if necessary to maintain lubrication.

Using The Pre-Filled Applicators

Just like the tubes of Conceive Plus, the pre-filled applicators also come in two pack sizes. The smaller pack size contains 3 x 4g applicators. The larger Conceive Plus 8 Applicator Pack provides additional applicators for couples planning to use the product over several occasions.

Take the applicator out of the box. The applicator should be held at the narrow end, pointing upwards. Twist the tab off and throw it away. Carefully put the narrow end inside the vagina fairly deep and without hurting yourself. Squeeze the bulb two to three times to deposit the Conceive Plus lubricant into the vaginal cavity. While still squeezing the bulb, carefully remove the applicator from the vagina and throw it away.

It can be applied around 10 to 15 minutes before sexual intercourse to allow the lubricant to disperse throughout the vagina. You can use another applicator if additional moisture is required.

Use only one applicator per use – do not store after opening or reuse it. If the tamper-evident seal has been removed or damaged, do not use the applicator. Instead, throw it away.

Featured Product: Conceive Plus 8 Applicator Pack

If you prefer a pre-filled format, the Conceive Plus 8 Applicator Pack contains individually packaged 4g applicators designed to make vaginal application straightforward before intercourse.

Using Conceive Plus For Clinical Means

The Conceive Plus fertility lubricant helps to lubricate the tissues in the vagina so therapeutic or diagnostic devices can be easily guided into the vagina. If a sterile product must be used, the provided applicators should not be used because they are not sterile. Be sure to follow the directions on the Conceive Plus box to place the lubricant in the vagina, using a preferred amount before inserting devices.

How To Use Conceive Plus With Condoms

Although Conceive Plus is designed for couples trying to conceive, it can also be used by couples using condoms. Conceive Plus can be used with both polyurethane and natural rubber latex condoms. It should not be used with condoms made of synthetic polyisoprene. Never apply the product directly to the condom using the pre-filled applicator. Instead, with clean fingertips, spread the gel around its surface.

What You Need To Be Mindful Of

  • Conceive Plus is not a contraceptive and does not kill sperm or interfere with sperm function.
  • Do not continue using it if you experience irritation. Talk to your doctor if the irritation continues.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Store the product between 2°C and 30°C.
  • Applicators are for single use only.
  • Avoid using an applicator if the tamper-evident tab is missing or broken.
  • Do not use the product after its expiry date.
  • Do not use with synthetic polyisoprene condoms.
  • Clean spills up straight away, as the gel is very slippery.

Do Not Use For Home Insemination

Conceive Plus is not designed for home insemination procedures. Use the lubricant only as directed, using the multi-use tube or the supplied pre-filled applicators.
