Instead Soft Cup Used For Conception Posted: 04-11-07 12:09pm
Hi All,
I'm new here, but not new to the
disappointment of trying to get pregnant
and not having sucess. Anyway, My husband
and I will be trying to get pregnant using
the Instead soft cups sold at drug stores
(normally used for periods). We plan to
put his "seed" in the cup with some
preseed lubricant (to increase volume and
possible contact with my cervix). has
anyone tried this and been successful...or
unsucecessful? I know these cups are
bigger than the conceivex brand thimble
sized cups, btu these seem easter to
"install" and don't cost 300 bucks for 3
cups. Please give me any experince you
may have with using these for
conception....PLEASE!
Lori

There was another thread on here recently
about using the instead soft cups.
SOmething was said about the material they
are manufactured with can be harmful to
sperm. I would search for that thread. I
believe it was last week. I will look and
repost if I find it.
Good luck, I know how frustrating and
heartbreaking it is when you have problems
ttc. We have been trying for what seems
like forever.
It doesn't mean it won't work though. I
just thought I would give you some info to
consider.

I wonder if there is online info about the
testing they said that was done that
denied them from using them for
conception........on the website it says
"The INSTEAD® Softcup® is made entirely
of hypoallergenic, non-toxic,
non-irritating, non-absorbent materials
that have been used for more than 20 years
in the health care profession. The
INSTEAD® Softcup® reservoir is made of
Polyethylene. It is non-irritating, non
absorbent thermoplastic material that has
been used for more than twenty years in
health care items such as catheters and
baby bottle nipples."
I understand that there are chemicals in
everything...I mean laytex can hurt sperm
but people get pregnant all the time when
a condom breaks...I wonder at what point
something is actually "bad" for conception
and what point it's not FDA approved for
conception.
