I use Sylk which works for me and I get on prescription.
There were problems with availability last year but that seems to have been resolved now.

Ok thanks. I'm seeing the GP on Monday so I will ask

I forgot to say the Boots stuff has an applicator to use internally.  Don't know if that is okay for you.  I suppose you could use it externally.

My mum was advised to use E45 cream.

It's something to use internally I need as I'm having to take a break from the estrogen

[VioletAquarius]

Oh I see, sorry. I'm not sure then, sorry.

Jules, for an internal moisturiser I recommend Balance Activ Moisture Plus pessaries. I seem to think Boots do an 'own brand' version of this as well (bit cheaper) but haven't needed these products for a while so you'd need to check.

Thankyou.  I will check those out

My GP wouldn't prescribe anything,  dismissed it as there's not a lot available and they advise to buy over the counter!

Hi Jules,

I was recently seen by a Gynae and she advised for very dry skin in the vulva area the best moisturiser is a simple ointment that is very thick, she suggested Epaderm or similar. I have been washing with Hydramol and moisturising on an off with it too, then using the thick stuff at bedtime.
She advised me to stop the Yes products, they are ok for use in the area if there are no challenges but once the dryness is there something less foamy is better

Thanks. It's an internal moisturiser I need. I've only tried replens but it's not that good
