Comfort

Intimate health

Vaginal dryness affects a great many women through menopause and after, and almost nobody talks about it. It's one of the most treatable things on this site and one of the least discussed.

CanesMeno Hydration & Comfort Gel, from Bayer, gives fast and long-lasting relief from dryness, burning and itching — up to five days from one application. It's hormone-free, contains no fragrance or alcohol, maintains vaginal pH, and is compatible with HRT and with latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms.

Because it's a registered medical device rather than a supplement, it's permitted to describe what it does. Most things in this shop aren't, which is why the wording elsewhere is more careful.

If symptoms persist or you're unsure what's causing them, speak to your GP or pharmacist — this is one worth asking about.
