Pregnancy, contraception, stress, unsuitable sexual partner. And temporarily, within the cycle, we each experience these periods. Let's dive into this wet and hot topic from A to Z so that you have all the tools to quickly and effectively prevent discomfort and have erotic experiences without any hiccups.
How do I know I'm moist enough?
Simply. You perceive everything pleasantly. When you touch intimate places towards the vagina, you feel a pleasant slipperiness, fingers, toys, your partner's penis or tampons are not a problem. The comfortable manipulation also causes a feeling of excitement and further moistening.
The vagina can secrete secretions, clear or slightly milky, at the time of ovulation there is more moisture.
Vaginal dryness hurts and makes it vulnerable
Vaginal dryness really hurts
It's nothing! A man waves his hand! Lubricant will solve it during sex. Yes, during sex, yes. But! It's not just about that moment of pleasure, you then worry because you just feel like things are rubbing off, women are no exception who feel like they're failing as women if they don't moisturize enough.They hide their feelings, the partner may not feel the same intensity of dryness as you, after all, during dryness, the partner can also rub and bruise.
Later, when the area is "dry" like this, the whole area itches, burns, and in general the stomach and back can hurt, because as you expect discomfort and it's not pleasant, the muscles contract and strain.
Microcracks form more easily on the parched mucous membrane that has been pulped in this way, which can be a breeding ground for infectious or yeast infections. But even the healing of the cracks itself is painful.
Vaginal dryness and hormones or medications
Do not be ashamed of the correction! Most often, this problem affects women before and after menopause, around forty or fifty, this is caused by a decrease in the production of female sex hormones.
The same problem is related to the hormonal level during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Dryness also occurs after medical procedures in this area. But also when using hormonal contraception or if you have a hormonal body, medicines especially for endometriosis, depression or medicines for thyroid disorders can also be to blame, all of which can cause a tendency to dryness of the vaginal mucosa. They are things that affect the overall events in the body.
Hormonal contraception and the menstrual cycle affect your ability to lubricate
Stress or anxiety also has an effect, which also affects the production of hormones. The bonus is the inability to relax or even think about sex due to tension. Well, what are we going to talk about, even stress in the relationship, a partner who doesn't excite you, it certainly won't help matters.
Natural vaginal dryness and the negative effect of tampons or detergents
It is also important to note that you are also naturally more prone to dryness in the first few days after your period, but this will improve over the next few days as ovulation begins.
Worse symptoms of dryness can also be experienced by women who excessively dry their mucous membranes in a seemingly innocent way, by using tampons at the end of menstruation, when it is only a matter of light spotting. Or by insensitive use of toys without proper moistening.
And dryness can be a temporary, but also a more persistent and bothersome consequence of long-term or protracted inflammations, when it takes longer for the mucous membrane to recover with all the healthy microorganisms on the surface, here we advise you to use healing vaginal gels with hyaluronic acid as part of prevention.
It's not just about wet sex, but dryness bothers life as well
Inserting tampons or a cup can be painful with vaginal dryness, especially at the beginning or end of menstruation. Dryness is generally not pleasant, because natural moisture protects the vaginal mucosa from adverse effects and all the useful microflora live in moisture. If there is not enough of it, you are prone to inflammation, yeast infections, but it also adversely affects inflammation of the urinary tract. Especially after heavy sex, mechanical exertion can contribute to inflammation in the urinary area as well.
Unpleasant sensations, burning and pain can occur even after a whole day in tight jeans or after riding a bike. It just hurts, it's bruised and sore.
Atrophy of the vaginal mucosa: an extreme?
If vaginal dryness is long-term, supported by internal causes (hormonal imbalance, medications, permanent irritation of the vaginal area without lubricant), the condition can worsen to so-called vaginal atrophy, which is a chronic thinning of the mucous membrane.
Symptoms include dryness, pain, burning, pain during sex, but also bleeding or spotting from the injured mucosa after sex. The treatment is the same as for vaginal dryness, only in this case the problem is already so obvious that the treatment will significantly improve the quality of life even outside of playing in bed.
Regeneration of the vaginal mucosa at the doctor
Can the condition be reversed? The fact is that the production of moisture in the vagina is more controlled by hormones, so you will have a hard time looking for herbs or food that will turn you back into the juicy flower you once were. Doctors use hormonal vaginal suppositories, or injections, but these are by prescription and after consultation with a doctor and finding out the exact cause of vaginal dryness.
Regeneration of the vaginal mucosa in the pharmacy
You can also find a lot in the pharmacy, apart from classic vaginal gels intended more for erotic experiences. It is definitely worth looking around for something, because good moisturizing is a protection against inflammation or yeast infections. These are gels that contain phytoestrogens or hyaluronic acid, but also vaginal probiotics.
Lubricating gels: Salvation and fun!
There are gels with hyaluronic acid that are a good alternative to hormonal ones, because they directly care for the vaginal mucosa and are suitable for problems associated with injuries in this area, for example after long-term irritation with inflammation. These gels are applied only to the vaginal entrance and its surroundings. Or you can use the applicator, which literally prepares you a sliding highway for instant pleasure!
CalExotics Lube Tube 2pcs (Transparent), syringe lube applicator
Lube Tube: No dirty toys or hands from lube gel. You suck in the gel, like a syringe, you insert it into the toy and apply the gel. 2 applicators included.
Water-based gels are ideal. They are the least irritating, but expect that they may need to be added a little during the event. This Lona Natural is transparently gentle, unscented or proven Lelo gels that are specially designed for sensitive skin. Both when playing with toys and when fooling around with a partner.

Silicone gels last much longer but can irritate, but in case the dryness is caused by impatience or the first days of the cycle, feel free to go for it too. For long-term problems, soreness or a tendency to inflammation, choose water-based velvet gels.
Homemade lubricants?
Nothing at hand? Is it a one-time discomfort, for example at the beginning of a new cycle?During sex, saliva often plays this role, but you can also use coconut oil, aloe vera gel or olive oil. But irritation cannot be ruled out, so it can be a bit of trial and error.
Natural dietary supplements for vaginal health
It is quite a feat to improve the hormonal balance with natural products, and it certainly belongs in the hands of a doctor. In general, however, red clover, soy or linseed are praised, which can stop the decline of female hormones and protect against the adverse effects of menopause and thus also vaginal dryness, but it is a problem so complex that without a specific examination of hormone levels, the solution can only be anticipated.
What to do for yourself to be well again?
A balanced vagina is the way to a nicer life
And we're at the end... you know what it's all about and don't be shy and help yourself. You already know the cause and you won't torture yourself unnecessarily with dry sex and use lubricant? Great, that's the first best step to better condition of your private parts. And since the psyche and condition also affect a lot, let's summarize what else could have a really good effect on stirring up life in your womb.
- Intimate gels and short but careful hygiene: It doesn't seem like it, but sometimes a long stay in a bath, sauna, or shower can dry out the delicate parts even more and contribute to worsening the problem. A suitable intimate wash gel, ideally with probiotics, will also help.
Reducing stress affects overall health
-
Reduce stress in the body: This will improve hormone levels and the body will relax. The hormone cortisol, the stress hormone, also affects female sex hormones, of course negatively. Relaxed, the body... calms down, returns to nature and becomes moist. So, regular movement and a routine that takes your muscles and your breath will not only ignite the flame of desire in you, because you will feel better, and in time you will also look better, but surprisingly, your intimate health can also noticeably improve. Better blood circulation to the muscles and the whole body will also be reflected in healthier mucous membranes.
-
Regular sexual activity: You can best achieve blood flow in the pelvic area, even with excitement, through regular intercourse and masturbation. Go ahead, it's time to really revive this part of the body.
-
Soft toys of friendly sizes will also help perfectly, plenty of lubricant, and if you feel that you need to go very slowly, then there are also vaginal dilators available, which are directly created for gentle training and overcoming discomfort, whether caused by a health problem, muscle imbalance in the pelvis or just a long absence of sex.

FAQ: More about vaginal dryness!
-
Can hormone yoga help with vaginal dryness?
We don't guarantee the result, but since some women praise the amazing effect of calming the hormonal system with compositions designed to harmonize the endocrine or female hormonal system, the effect can be seen here as well. You will reduce stress, increase blood flow to your intimate parts, and your sleep will improve after exercise. This alone can help significantly. -
Which intimate washing gels are the most suitable?
It is good if they have a neutral or slightly acidic pH, in the case of vaginal dryness, do not irritate the areas with prolonged washing, perfume, and look for ones that, for example, contain aloe vera or hyaluronic acid, which helps the regeneration of damaged skin. Chamomile can also be good if you are not allergic to it. -
Does vaginal dryness affect the taste and smell of the vagina?
Yes, because the secretion is reduced, the taste and smell may change for your partner. Either to more neutral ones, because moisture is missing, or to more intense ones, if inflammatory changes are happening on your mucous membrane. If you use gels or suppositories, then of course the taste and smell change according to the means used. -
Should I also change the material of my underwear in case of vaginal dryness?
Cotton and breathable pieces of underwear are definitely better, this will reduce the risk of irritation not only of the entire sensitive area, but also the risk of urinary tract infection. Synthetic materials can cause heat, sweat and moisture to be trapped, leading to irritation and again worsening the symptoms of dryness. -
Can a partner's sperm make the situation worse?
Yes, when the mucous membrane is irritated, sperm can burn and sting, or cause an inflammatory reaction in the following hours or days. Therefore, it is not a good idea to rely on semen as a replacement moisturizer, but to use a lubricant that, just as a healthy vagina does, will take care of expelling the remains of sperm from the vagina and cleaning it naturally. -
Can a condom cause vaginal dryness?
If you have an allergy to classic condoms or are irritated by silicone oil or perfumes, this can greatly contribute to discomfort, a tendency to inflammation and temporary vaginal dryness.
