Products for Vaginal Dryness: Moisturising Gels and Women’s Supplements

Vaginal dryness is common around menopause, after childbirth, during breastfeeding and with some medicines. Moisturising gels applied externally are the most direct comfort option, and some women also try phytoestrogens, evening primrose oil or herbal supplements. Our top picks include two intimate care gels and three supplements. See a doctor if dryness comes with pain, bleeding or discharge.

Why Are These Products Included?

How to Choose

For immediate comfort, start with a gel, and use a water-based lubricant during sex. Supplements take weeks and results vary. Avoid perfumed soaps, douches and tight synthetic underwear. Quitting smoking and staying sexually active can also help.

What Causes Vaginal Dryness?

Vaginal tissue depends on oestrogen to stay thick and moist. When oestrogen falls, during menopause, breastfeeding, after removal of the ovaries, or with certain treatments, dryness, itching, burning and pain during sex can follow. Other causes include some allergy and cold medicines, antidepressants, douching and stress.

When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if dryness is persistent, painful, or comes with bleeding, unusual discharge, soreness or urinary symptoms. Effective medical treatments exist, including low-dose vaginal oestrogen, and are often the best choice for menopausal dryness.

What Supplements Can and Cannot Do

Moisturising gels can ease day-to-day discomfort. Phytoestrogens and herbal oils have limited evidence for dryness specifically. Supplements do not replace medical treatment for menopause-related changes.

Precautions and Interactions

Gels are for external use only; stop use if irritation occurs.
Soy or red clover phytoestrogens: avoid if you have had breast or other hormone-sensitive cancer unless your doctor agrees.
Evening primrose oil: check with a doctor if you take blood thinners or have epilepsy.
Not for use in pregnancy without medical advice.
