Anyone find that any kind of intimate activity makes you sore? I'm three years without a period now and it all seems so much more delicate down there.  Oestrogen cream from the doc helped but gave me such stomach cramps and indigestion I've had to stop using it. Oh dear is "it" all over!?

    Hello, we use KY Jelly and it's very successfull smile We did try some proprietry brands but they were not really for us as they had too many additives. Making sure you both wash not long before and you immediately afterwards can also help. Good luck!

      Hi Laura yes sell water based and oil based lubricants which are excellent. Try also taking sea buckthorn capsules they make more mucous in your ladies bits

    Thanks Liz I've not tried sea buckthorn.  Can the oil be used directly on lady bits?
