Brief Answer:
Not possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Pre-ejaculate, when deposited on the vulva or vagina can cause pregnancy if it happens to be the fertile period or the ovulation period. This is because it contains sperms enough to cause fertilization.

When pre-ejaculate is deposited on the garments mentioned, it is not possible for the small amount of sperms contained in the pre-ejaculate to ascend through so many barriers. Hence there is no chance of pregnancy even if this incident has happened during fertile period.

Hope your query is clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

But the sperm can pass through the pores in the fabric rite?
also when the pre ejaculate is absorbed by the fabric, the sperm would be still alive?

Brief Answer:
Highly unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

It is highly unlikely that whatever little sperm is seen in the pre-ejaculate can pass through pores in the fabric. This is because the motility of the sperms is hindered badly by the thickness of the fabric, the chemicals contained in the fabric, the time elapsed after secretion, the distance to be traveled (namely, from the fabric onto the vulva and then into the vagina, cervix, uterus and the tubes and if by chance, an egg is already there, fertilize it). The very fact that absorption may kill the sperm tells it all.

Hope I have answered your query. Please get back if you need any more information. I will be ready to help.

Brief Answer:
Mostly, yes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing again.

There is no chance of survival of sperm mostly once it is absorbed by the fabric. So, please stop worrying. The chances are very very low and almost nil.

Hope all your queries have been answered.

Wish you good health.
