A member asked:
Can a comb that was wiped on a family bathroom towel in the shower and inserted into the vagina cause a pregnacy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly unlikely: In order for this pregnancy to occur, sperm would have to be deposited on the towel recently enough that the semen had not yet dried (as the sperm will die by the time that happens). Those sperm would then have to be transmitted to the comb, then to the vagina, and still have enough left in them to travel and fertilize the egg.
