vaginal dryness
I want to use something natural and organic and have used olive oil and it seems to work. Has anyone ever tried that? what else have you tried?

Hi, @creynoldsct , and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thanks for joining us.
I am sure this is a concern other members would have in common with you. I’d like to introduce you to a few other Connect members who have posted messages about vaginal dryness. Please meet @kim , @judiff, @ditim, @mgirl, @momij, @alan112, @lost and @mingnonjones. Hopefully you can all meet here on this thread and the others can provide some input for you.

Have you by any chance asked your doctor about something they’d recommend in the natural/organic category?
My doctor said to use lubricants especially for sex. Honestly the olive oil is amazing and its in my house anyway 🙂
My doctor recommended coconut oil. It's working great.
