Search in your own words. Describe what you need or ask a wedding planning question.

oh no...no need to buy ultrasound gel...any water based lubricant (like K-Y jelly) will work just fine and will not damage the machine....I don't know many things for sure, but this I know!
any lotion is fine
now reg. body lotion wouldnt be ok...would it?
yes
it will work, but not as well as K-Y jelly (this conducts the sound waves better) - also the additives in the lotion can damage the head on the doppler.
Ive used both - regular lotion and doppler gel. Both worked fine. Also in the instructions you receive when I got my Babybeat it said that if you ran out of gel that regular lotion will work just as well as the sono gel.
