Vaginal moisturizer: products to treat dryness in the intimate region

Vaginal moisturizer is a great option for women who suffer from dryness in the intimate region, as there are products on the market that alleviate symptoms and treat the problem. To learn more about the subject, we talked to gynecologist Karina Tafner (CRM 118066 – SP), who answered questions and clarified in which situations its use is indicated. Check out:

What is a vaginal moisturizer and what is it used for?

Vaginal moisturizers are indicated for women who suffer from chronic vaginal dryness, with daily vulvar pain and discomfort, such as itching, burning and frequent infections. According to the gynecologist, “the female hormone (estrogen) is responsible for maintaining the vaginal lining. Dryness occurs by the reduction of this hormone and can happen in women of any age.” Treatment can be with topical vaginal estrogen or non-hormonal intimate moisturizers.

Lubricant X Vaginal Moisturizer

According to Karina, the vaginal lubricant is a product applied before sexual intercourse. It facilitates penetration and relieves the sensation of pain and discomfort caused by dryness in the intimate region, keeping the vaginal walls lubricated during the act. Therefore, the lubricant has an immediate effect and needs to be reapplied after each intercourse, while the vaginal moisturizers have a prolonged effect (lasting up to 3 days in a single application).
