Why Does Vaginal Dryness Happen During Menopause?
During menopause, your estrogen levels drop. That can cause the vaginal walls to thin and dry out, leading to discomfort, itching, or pain during intimacy.
This is a natural part of aging, but it can affect your confidence, relationships, and quality of life. There is now good news! Moisture support is available without needing hormone treatments.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Burning, itching, or irritation
- Discomfort during sex
- Increased urinary urgency or frequency
Types of Lubricants and Moisturizers: What Works Best?
There are three main types of lubricants women turn to:
1. Water-Based Lubricants
- Easy to wash off
- Many are compatible with sex toys and condoms
- Often needs frequent reapplication
2. Silicone-Based Lubricants
- Longer-lasting than water-based products
- Not ideal for all toys or silicone materials
- May leave residue
3. Oil-Based Lubricants
- Natural options like coconut oil
- Not condom-safe
- Can upset vaginal pH for some users
4. Intravaginal Moisturizers
- Help maintain hydration over time
- Some require daily use, most don’t last longer than a few days
- LivRing offers up to 7 days of continuous hydration with a soft, flexible ring—no hormones, no mess, just one quick insert for the whole week, then simply replace with a new ring
