Never heard of them.  Are you able to give us the Maker's Details etc. and how they are applied?

They are called Balance Active menopause pessaries.
Boots chemist sells them.

They are applied like vagifem though without the applicator. So you just push them in,
they are shaped to make insertion easy.

I think Bio-Active is just a moisturiser that helps to keep the vaginal area more acidic and healthier.  It won't actually combat VA as such just make things a bit more comfortable.  I believe it also helps to treat Bacterial Vaginitis which is common when post meno.  I  use a similar stuff - Bio-Fem Actigel.  DG  x

It does say on the box that it helps with  meno dryness and VA.
The ones for BA are different, these are for menopausal dryness.
