vaginal dryness

Is your vagina as dry as a desert?  Do you wish that you could get your sexy back? Vaginal dryness is not just for the menopausal generation.  It may surprise you to know that a 20-year-old on birth control pills can also have a dry vagina as can a 40-year-old on chemotherapy. Yes, vaginal dryness can occur at any age depending upon the hormonal changes occurring at the time.

Folds in the vagina called rugae help to increase friction during sexual intercourse making it more pleasurable.

With age, the vaginal tissue thins, and the vagina shortens making it more susceptible to bacterial invasion and itchiness.

The external genitalia becomes misshapen. Women are apt to bleed more now with sexual intercourse.

What is the difference between a vaginal moisturizer and a vaginal lubricant?

A vaginal moisturizer can be used twice per week to normalize the vaginal pH and add moisture. It can be used in

the sexually active or non-sexually active woman since a healthy vagina is not just for the sexually active woman.

Vaginal dryness can plague the 20-year-old on birth control pills, the 40-year-old postpartum woman, or the 70-year-old in a new sexual relationship. I recommend any and all women begin with a vaginal moisturizer.

The vaginal lubricant is used with sexual intercourse to ease discomfort and enhance pleasure.

It is time to get your sexy back!!
