Yes, Reality can be used by a pregnant woman. If you have an infection, you should discuss using Reality or any device with your physician before using it during sex. Preliminary studies show that Reality does not increase the incidence of urinary tract infections, and that it is not damaged by oil-based medications. If inserted properly, Reality covers part of the labia. Therefore, during intercourse, the scrotum does not touch the labia, so protection is provided.
Reality is prelubricated with silicone, the same lubricant as used with male latex condoms.
The lubrication enables a smooth entrance for the penis into the vagina. The instructions give details on how and when to use extra lubricant. The extra lubricant is water based and does not contain spermicide. Because Reality is made from polyurethane, oil-based lubricants will not cause the sheath to disintegrate. We do not put spermicide in Reality ' s lubricant because some women are sensitive to nonoxynol-9, and become irritated using it, causing them to be more vulnerable to STDs.
