    As a general lubricant 'yes' water based is good for comfort, oil based for 'activities'. For soreness I find alphaderm best and I've tried lots of different things.

    Most important of all is Vagifem - an oestradiol pessary, and oestriol cream to smear on outside.  This softens, repairs, strengthens by rebuilding collagen.

    Also useful is coconut oil (anti fungal, anti biotic etc) after bathing, and bio oil when really dry.
