To lube, or not to lube? That is the question.
And if it's one you've been asking yourself too, then I have the answers for you.
There’s a question that has suddenly started to pop up in my DMs and inbox. A lot of you are asking about how to safely use lubricants when trying to conceive, so I thought it was time to answer your questions.
