@leesal123 I’ve had vaginal dryness for so long and it is painful. I have reaction to many OTC products because they all have propylene glycol in them. I’m allergic, which I learned from all the burning sensation. I bought so many and finally researched enough to find out this was in all of them. The Only one I’ve found that Does Not have propylene glycol in it is AstroGlide Gel. The liquid has it in it and all those ‘warming’ liquids are Bad for me.
I will not take any estrogen cream no matter how small a percentage. Thank you for your post. Blessings

@sequoia I am so sorry! So frustrating. Atrophy was a new one for me. Basically it's when there is
thinning, drying and inflammation of the vagina from low estrogen. I have been given suggestions by different doctors for moisturizers such as Good Clean Love which looks so far to have pretty clean ingredients, organic virgin coconut oil as a topical, revaree which is a vaginal suppository, and then replens- which seems to have ingredients I need to investigate more. Then you have the whole lubricant side to think about.
Some work best as a moisturizer and some only as a short term lubricant. I wish there was more research to support women in this area so it wasn't such a trial and error process. The more I talk with friends about this the more I have found they are suffering in silence. Positive thoughts your way!
