I had ovarian cancer, so, total hysterectomy. I also have Sjogrens Disease, (dry eyes, dry mouth, dry skin….dry everything). I was so uncomfortable when I went to my gynecologist. I had not seen her for awhile, as, I saw my oncologist for checkups. My gynecologist diagnosed me, knew I could not take Estrace because of the cancer, so, suggested coconut oil. I have been using coconut oil for about 4 years now. It is wonderful. I purchased vaginal applicators online, and use it everyday, am & pm. No pain ever.

I use coconut oil as a lube during intercourse, but am interested in hearing how you use it with a vaginal applicator. Since coconut oil starts as a solid, but becomes a liquid when it warms up, do you have a lot of drainage after application? How much do you use? Have you found coconut oil in a tube that you can attach to the applicator to fill it? If not, how do you fill the tube?

Good evening @ladonnaa. I see this is your first post since becoming a Connect member. Thanks for contributing. By sharing your experiences, you help so many others. We have quite hundreds of folks who feel more comfortable reading than writing. And they too will increase their knowledge about the condition that brought them to Connect.
And just a minor question. I like your name. Did you perhaps graduate from high school in 1959? I had a friend named La Donna at that time.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
