Q. I want to share a remedy for mid-life vaginal dryness. Suddenly last year at 54, I realized that regular lubricants such as KY Jelly were no longer working for me.
Then I found Replens at the drugstore. This is an oil-based moisturizer to be applied every few days. It took a week or so of daily application to build up enough. Later I switched to KY Liquibeads, which is less messy. Our sex life is now back to normal and both of us are pleased.
A. Replens bills itself as a vaginal moisturizer rather than a lubricant. A key ingredient in Replens is polycarbophil, a polymer that attracts water to the cellular lining.
Readers tell us that they also have had success with applications of olive or coconut oil, vitamin E, Sylk (made from kiwi vine extract) or Corn Huskers Lotion.

Please can you tell me why REPLENS has been taken off the self at Walgreens and Walmart Pharmacy also has trouble with suppliers?
This is troubling me. MANY THANKS
Check with the FDA to see if the FDA has taken Replens off the market.
My gynecologist told me olive oil and coconut oil are useless as a vaginal lubricant or mositurizer. I tried them and he is right. Only estrogen can plump the cells and restore vaginal cell health he said. He prescribed Vagifem. I am afraid to take it.
