Title: Vagifem and erm.....smell
Post by: lesley998 on April 24, 2013, 07:54:15 PM

Hello ladies

Sorry to be blunt or tmi

Have been using vagifem 10 for about two months, and am quite happy with the results as it has made me feel plumped up again down there,  instead of like a dry, cardboard tunnel.  I expected a bit of discharge, as everything gets back to normal.  But.  :o. I have also noticed a quite pungent smell, which I have never had before.  It's not an infection sort of smell, just a much stronger musky, smell.  OH has not mentioned it! 

Is this a known side effect...?

Thanks  :-\

OH yes I had it for nearly a year on and off
Funny smell cant explain it I said chemicaly smell but then I dont know what they smell like either hehehe
Now it hardly ever smells I just put it down to hormones going back in there and the stuff around the Vagifem Pressarie
I dont know if I asked on here sorry but I didnt worry about it
DONT though wash yourself down there bit of non soap around the bottom area and the Fanny just plain water
Dont worry xxxxxxxxxx

Hi sweat pea, I tried vagifem and noticed a terrible smell each time I used it. Also had stomach pains and nausea.   Gave up using it because of the smell. Smell went straight away.
