I love KY Liquibeads. They desolve within 30 min...only a little messy...nothin a panti shield cant fix. it lasts 2-4 days average...i usually get 4 days unless I tub bath instead of shower.

My dr prescribed Premarin cream for that problem. Unfortunately I cannot use it as directed as it burns me. I do apply it elsewhere and it helps a tad. I use organically cold pressed coconut oil, a little messy sometimes but it does work for me...it was also suggested by the same doctor who is a woman roughly the same age so she has gone through what i have.

The Dr. just gave me a RX for Premarin, and told me to use it topical not internal. Someone suggested Crisco, guess thats on the same line as using coconut oil.

Crisco? Oh lordy, I could just imagine keeping a can of that by my bed. I like the cocout oil as it is solid until it hits the warm flesh then liquifies and is very fine. I also use it on my very dry skin after a shower. But if I needed to in a pinch I could use it for a stir fry.

where do you buy the coconut oil?

I am post menopausal and my gyn also gave me premarin but after reading the insert and about it online I decided not to use it. I am looking into natural ways now,,,,,just have to read about it. If I remember LOL
Thanks for the info.

I suffered from vaginal dryness for years...turns out it was my birth control pills doing it to me. To make matters worse, they kept me on them til I hit menopause. So if I'm suffering from dryness now, I wouldn't know it because I'm better now than I have been in decades. Now if I could just get my husband to have sex, I might actually be ready this time.

I buy my coconut oil in the health food section at a local grocery store. You can probably find it at any health food store. It can be pricey but a little goes a long long way. The first jar of it lasted me over a year.

thanks for the idea of using coconut oil. I love the feel of it!!!!

I got the coconut oil today and will try it - i also bought the cortisone and my dr told me about the A and-d i have estrace cream but did not
realize it caused some burning also- i think i will try your suggestions and cancell appt for a while

So glad I passed the coconut oil suggestion along. I like it too because it is so light and doesn't have that after-feel that some oils do (like baby oil). LOL You should see my bathroom cabinet, full of tubes of this and that but without it all I would be in more misery than I already am. I keep the coconut oil in my room, on my bedside table so I can use it when I am changing clothing. I also find wearing loose fitting underpanties for bed helps a lot too. I like the boxer briefs as they fit down to the top of the thigh and do not have that nasty old elastic regular panties do. I also change underwear frequently thru the day, seems to be of help too. Just my observations.

OMGosh you ladies are cracking me up!!!!!!! are you serious? coconut oil after buying all that freaking lubricant that men like to use; i just want the sex part of my marriage to be over!!!! Im serious Im tired and I dont have no interest/fyi u probably wouldnd either if you were raising a two yr old and 3 teens!but hey im going to try yalls suggestions thanx

Coconut oilhas helped so much and I uses A and D
and cortisone and prescribed estrace
the last couple of days have been worse- maybe it is stress
I have not slept well and finally used ice
Any one else have ideas?

I find that when Im under stress it gets worse, Maybe thats why I dont like the holidays.

i'm going to try coconut oil, he likes coconut anyway.
