Vaginal dryness: What it is, causes and solutions

One of the most common discomforts we can experience is vaginal dryness. This occurs because, throughout our lives, our bodies undergo physical and hormonal changes that can cause discomfort. We know exactly how you feel!

In fact, we’re sure that, on more than one occasion, you’ve experienced this discomfort, but perhaps you’ve found it hard to talk about it with your friends or family. A taboo subject! Well, let’s break these taboos that don’t help us at all and start finding out and talking about what can cause vaginal dryness and what solutions we have to tackle it.

Causes of vaginal and vulvar dryness

Intimate dryness, whether vaginal or vulvar, can be due to biological causes, specifically age or the stage of life we’re at. During the menopause, for example, there is a reduction in oestrogen levels which can lead to increased intimate dryness. The same can happen as a result of hormonal fluctuations.

However, there are also lifestyle-related causes that can lead to vaginal and vulvar dryness: periods of heightened stress, taking certain medicines or undergoing pharmacological treatments, using certain intimate hygiene products with a pH that is too acidic… The fact is, there are times when we think we’re looking after our intimate area, but in reality, we’re damaging it by using certain gels and soaps.

Solutions for intimate dryness

If you suffer from vulvovaginal dryness, here at Cumlaude Lab we recommend using Lubripiù Intimate Hygiene, as it will help alleviate dryness and promote natural hydration thanks to its oil-in-milk texture, which is highly emollient and provides hydration and comfort from the very first use.

Furthermore, its formulation is SOAP-FREE and enriched with a 12% naturally derived emollient complex, high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid to attract and retain water, and lactic acid to provide hydration, softness, balance and protection to the entire vulvar vestibule.

As a second step, use Lubripiù Intimate Cream. Its lubricating, protective, moisturising and soothing action will help restore comfort and softness to the vulvar area.

And as a third step, apply a Lubripiù ovule at night before going to bed. It will improve vaginal dryness from within. With a lubricating, moisturising and soothing effect. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and emollient oils, it forms a lubricating and protective film that shields the vaginal mucosa and helps maintain its natural moisture balance.
