Let’s talk about it. Intimate dryness. It’s a thing, and it’s a pain in the arse (or vulva, actually). If you’re dealing with external vaginal or vulvar dryness and discomfort, know that you’re not alone. It’s more common than you might think, affecting millions of women, especially during menopause or after giving birth.
Hormonal changes are often the main culprit of intimate dryness. Pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and menopause can all mess with your natural lubrication. But that’s not all. Stress, certain medications, and even some skincare products can contribute to a dry vaginal area.
You know the drill—itchiness, burning, and that irritating feeling of intimate dryness and sore spots. Sex can become uncomfortable. It’s like your vagina decided to take a vacation without asking.
So, what’s a woman to do? First things first, let’s find some intimate dryness relief. Vulvar moisturisers and lubricants are your new best friends. Look for products designed specifically for external vaginal use to avoid irritation. Remember, your skin down there deserves the same care and attention as the rest of your body.
Staying hydrated is key. Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin hydrated, including the delicate area of your vagina. Eating a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can also support your body’s natural lubrication.
When choosing products to combat intimate dryness, go for those with gentle, natural ingredients. Harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances? Big nope. Look for items that promise to soothe and moisturise without causing further irritation.

Ah, menopause. The time in a woman’s life when hormonal shifts can cause all sorts of changes, including intimate dryness. As oestrogen levels drop, natural lubrication decreases, leading to that familiar uncomfortable dryness. This isn’t just annoying; it can also impact your mood and sex life.
Finding relief during menopause is crucial. Hydrating products can help alleviate dryness and make you feel more comfortable. Opt for products with natural, soothing ingredients to avoid irritation.

Postpartum intimate dryness is a real kicker. Your hormones are all over the place, and your body is still adjusting after childbirth. It’s normal to experience intimate dryness after giving birth, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Gentle, hydrating products can make a world of difference. Think of it as giving your vagina and vulva a little TLC.
Cancer and chemotherapy can wreak havoc on your body, including causing intimate dryness. The treatments can affect hormone levels and damage the delicate tissues of the vagina & vulva, leading to discomfort. It’s yet another layer of challenge on top of an already tough battle.
Gentle care is essential. Hydrating and soothing products can help manage the dryness and discomfort. Look for products free from harsh chemicals and fragrances to avoid further irritation.
For those dealing with the aftermath of cancer treatment, our Cancer Collection offers products specifically designed to be gentle and supportive.
Let’s be real—intimate dryness can mess with your confidence. It’s hard to feel sexy when you’re uncomfortable. But remember, you’re not alone, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Your body is doing its best, and so are you. Empower yourself with knowledge and the right products to take control of your comfort and confidence.
Ignoring vaginal and vulvar dryness won’t make it go away. In fact, it can lead to more discomfort and even infections. Pay attention to your body’s signals and treat it with the respect it deserves. Your vagina is a powerhouse, and it deserves to be cared for.
Don’t hesitate to talk to a healthcare provider. Persistent vaginal and vulvar dryness can be a sign of underlying issues that might need medical attention. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Talking about intimate dryness shouldn’t be taboo. It’s a part of life for many women, and the more we talk about it, the more we can support each other. So, share your experiences, ask questions, and don’t be shy. Your tribe is here to support you.
intimate dryness is sh*t, but it doesn’t have to control your life. With the right products and a bit of self-love, you can find relief and feel comfortable in your own skin again. Remember, you’re a powerful, sexy, and incredible woman. Own it.
