Nope or you won't know what is working.
If you are very dry down there, then using
KY Jelly several times a day will help. Gently on the outer lips and as far in as possible until the skin feels supple.
As oestrogen levels drop the body dries up: skin, eyes, deep in the ears, nostrils, vagina …….. and if the skin in the vagina dries it becomes itchy and can invite infection.
If you have difficulty inserting
Vagifem: which needs application
every night for 2 weeks then every 3rd and 5/6th night thereafter: for ever; then lay quietly on the bed after a *bath* and insert KY as far up as possible. That will ease the vaginal lips open and eventually you can insert the
Vagifem.
Although ladies find showering keeps symptoms at bay, I bath every night ……. I have never had problems with oils or soaps other than those 'cubes' that fizz. They had me leaping out of the water
even B4 I had sat down ……. 'simple' products can be useful all over the body. The vagina needs cleansing the same as the rest of the body.
I also drink
Actimel to try and keep my innards healthy. I also swear by 'live' yoghurt applied down below ;-)
