Vulva Harmony Vulva Balm – Vaginal Moisturizer for Women, Moisture & Relief Cream for Intimate Feminine Care | Dryness, Vaginitis, Itch, Chafing, Irritation & Menopause | No Estrogen Cream, 2.25 Oz

We are taught to take care of our skin, how important it is. We spend hundreds of dollars on hand cream, body lotion, and face cream. But no one ever told me to give equal attention to my vulva skin. Why? Because we are embarrassed to have it, or that it might need TLC? Why didn't I just think of it on my own? Why did it take being 49 years old and going through crazy body changes for me to realize my skin needed attention? Well, I know now and am willing to tell anyone who will listen! Take care of your skin...ALL of your skin.For me it is because of pre menopausal symptoms but I am sure women of all ages and situations should be treating their vulva skin better. I without warning and without being armed with any real knowledge started to experience symptoms. First there was itching, then some burning, some pain, some odor, and eventually painful sex. Eventually in one particularly bad flair up even the slightest touch of toilet tissue was like razor blades and the gentlest of self examination felt as if I was tearing my skin apart.Over the course of a year or more I was sure I had some disease or another. And everything I was doing to try and help just made things worse! Eventually through tons of research I understood my skin was dry and frail from pre menopause but even then there was no real information that was super clear other than talk to your doctor. I finally happened upon an article that made one huge point that changed everything for me. We care for the delicate skin of our face, lips and hands...why not our vulva! Ding, light bulb moment.From that moment forward it all made sense. Gently wash with appropriate cleanser and moisturize. Seems so simple. Now mind you this is not a cure all just common sense care. And, since each of us is different we each will need different products that work well with our bodies. I us a Ph balancing feminine wash, a natural female supplement, an aloe lubricant for internal needs and vulva balm cream for the entire vulva area.As far as this specific product, vulva balm cream, it has been like a miracle for me. Within one day there was relief from the razor blade pain, within days there was relief from the skin tearing feeling when parting skin, and in a week or less healthy younger feeling vulva skin! Apparently slowly over the years I had even forgotten what that should feel like. What ever texture or fragrance issue any one talks about be damned! If you are suffering and something works it's brilliant. As far as texture it is like very soft slightly melted butter that melts even more to the touch but it glides on silky smooth and seems far less oily than you would expect. The smell is a bit medicinal, like very faint menthol vapor rub...very faint.Apply as much or as little as you need or like. At first I was using it gingerly but very many times a day, after every bathroom visit essentially. Now I liberally apply it all over the area after bath or shower time and again if I feel I need to depending on daily situations like the fact that I had actually gotten my period during my first week or so of use as well. Each of us is different I know! I am very sensitive to everything, both externally on my skin and internally as far as supplements and medications...I am a walking allergy and sensitivity poster girl! But this works for me with NO issue. No burning, no stinging, no rash, no itch, no pain. I can't believe it but it's true. I use this on the all areas of my vulva skin, just not internally. So for something like inserting a tampon or sex I use aloe but as a moisturizer for all around vulva balm creamSo now I am telling anyone who wants to know. I have shared it with my daughters who are far from their change of life! Take care of your vulva skin. Don't be afraid to ask question and talk about it. It's so important, because when and if something happens it ruins every part of your life. The pain and discomfort of even simple every day things much less the intimate things can be near unbearable. You don't want the skin on yours face, lips and hands to become thin dry and cracked...so I'm betting you don't want your intimate and much more sensitive vulva skin too either.
