I am tying to conceive and have been reading about a sperm friendly lubricant named Pre-Seed. Has anyone seen this for sale in Thailand...specifically Chiang Mai?

Or any other suggestions?

I really doubt that you will find it here as it's too much a "niche" market (pun unintended) for the pharmacy stores or their importers. I doubt that there would be any issue having it sent to you via mail, though duty and vat could increase it's cost quite a lot.

It's an interesting product. The article quoted can only be accessed by paying about US$32 but the product makes sense to me. Lubricant manufacturers are most likely not interested in "promoting fertility" and a sperm friendly product makes sense.

It is notable that the product does add how "antioxidants" in the product are helpful, though while researching the article, I noticed another article in the same journal thatessentially states that antioxidants have no effect on sperm integrity or motility. So there is a certain degree of marketing hype devoid of scientific proof. The article appears to be initiated by or under the auspices of the manufacturer, and unless another research project is done with the same outcome, I have to question its outcome to a certain degree.

This being said, it's not that expensive, even with duty and tax so why not? Another possibility is to use Craig's List, or Chiang Mai's expat club's classified and try to find someone coming to Chiang Mai and have them bring as many tubes as you wish. Of course being a gel, they must travel in checked baggage.

Thanks for your response, I think the chances of me finding it here are slim, as I think it is a relatively new product(which probably explains the hype over it). As this is my first time trying for a baby, I have as you can imagine, been doing a lot of reading on the net and this product seems to be being plugged every-where, so was a little curious to try it - especially given that I had no idea that a lot of the normal lubricants can interfere with sperm mobility. I have also seen a product named pre-conceive which is similar I think.

I'm not in dire need of these products just my curiosity got the better of me and to be honest I just think we will let nature do its own thing :)
