Vaginal moisturizers are specially-designed to assist women experiencing dryness in the vagina, including creams and gels as well as suppositories made with natural ingredients.
K-Y lubricants are one of the most popular lubricants, though they can be messy and require frequent applications (every 2-3 days). Some contain naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid which has many applications throughout your body.
Replens(tm) Long-Lasting Vaginal Moisturizer

Women may experience vaginal dryness due to age or menopause, medications taken for diabetes or cancer treatment and certain health issues (like breastfeeding or tampon use). Moisturizing gels do not contain spermicide and should therefore not be used as birth control measures.
The patented moisturizing formula delivers instant relief and soothes irritated skin, helping women feel like themselves again. Furthermore, this moisturizer also replenishes natural body lubrication levels to make intimacy more pleasurable for both partners. Furthermore, unlike lubricants that must be applied just prior to sexual activity only – moisturizing gel can be applied day or night for daily use!

To ensure proper application, users should tear open its sealed wrapper by tearing along its easy-open notch before grasping its thick end firmly while either squatting or on one’s back with knees bent, pressing well into their vagina with press of applicator into thick end before discarding any excess moisturizer from thick end of applicator.

If moisturizers and lubricants don’t alleviate symptoms of dryness or pain in your vaginal region, speak to your physician about hormone therapy. Not only can vaginal estrogen balance your uterus’s pH balance, it may also provide relief from itching, pain and sexual dysfunction by acting directly on vaginal nerve endings. Available as pessaries, creams or applicators it may even be prescribed in tablet form or via vulva ring insertion.
Moisturizing lubricants must have an osmolality between hypo and iso-osmotic levels, meaning their release of water should match that of your tissues – this mimics your body’s natural vaginal secretions, according to Jacobson.
Osmolality levels that exceed those found within your body could deplete tissues of water, leading to tissue damage, while matching those within will hydrate and soothe them during intimate activity.
This long-lasting gel remains in contact with sensitive tissues for up to three days, gradually releasing water to restore them with an antimicrobial action. Fragrance-free and free from hormones or known skin irritants, it can be used daily or as needed depending on severity of dryness. Packaged in an easy application bottle which you can apply directly using fingers or prefilled tubes directly into vagina, this product also serves as a vulvar moisturizer with its lower price point than similar offerings available today.
