Pre-seed lube dark blue or pink packaging?
Pre-Seed fertility friendly lubricant was acquired by First Response in the UK and the packaging has changed from pink as shown above to dark blue. When we first stocked Pre-Seed over 15 years ago the packages where initially pale blue, then went to pink and are now dark blue.
The blue First Response Pre-Seed packaging has now replaced the pale pink Babystart packaging (shown above) in the UK, so any that is still in the pale pink package was manufactured prior to First Response taking over thepackaging. The product inside the packaging is the same Pre-Seed you have come to know and trust, but it may now be out of date, so check the expiry date on any Pre-Seed you have in the old packaging before using it.

Will Pre-Seed work if I'm menopausal and not had a period for over a year?
I'm a 50 year old female who still ovulating but has not had a menstrual in over a year. Would Preseed lubricant work for me? Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated thanks.
We were asked this question recently regarding Pre-Seed fertility lubricant , here is our answer.
If you are not having periods, it suggests that you are not ovulating regularly and if you have not had a period for over a year you may have in fact gone through menopause. It is unlikely that Preseed would make any difference if this is the case. If you wish to conceive at age 50, you would need to see your doctor, as from what you have told us, it seems unlikely that you would conceive naturally.
