Vaginal dryness

OMG just what you need, your name and complaint in a national daily

I'd draw the line at that, but have always said that I could have an internal at 'The Clock Tower' (well known Leicester landmark) having been pregnant 6 times in an era when that seemed to be the standard examination method!

The more I think about this the more annoyed/ angry I'm getting.
If these people, and I'm assuming it's women, had ever suffered as some of us had, and give us a glimmer of hope and then have the bloody Gawl to think that we want this plastered in print.
Why are they doing it: money. They are selling our misery. I hope, when some of them get to 'a certain age' they will have an insite to it and think back to this.
In fact, I think I'm going to contact them again ( I was very polite last time) and tell them in no uncertain terms what I think of them.

Yikes petra. Did you only find out about it after you gave all the 'case study' details, or was it perhaps in the small print? No matter that we discuss it here on the forums, it is a very personal, delicate and distressing matter and I can't think of anything worse than it ending up in a tabloid article.

Hi Grannyknot. Fortunately you are informed of this before you fill in detail.
I have emailed them with my feelings. I asked for an answer as to why they had to sell my misery to tabloids.

A sad fact of ageing for ladies as is 'Mr Droopy' disease for men.
Happily a sensitive GP or Practice Nurse can provide solutions.

Regarding the survey thing - I refuse to complete surveys even to 'Amazon' these days.
I used to, thinking naively that services may improve in some way. All that happened of course was a massive increase in spam Email as the surveyors promptly sell on your details to anyone who wants them.
As I have 'matured' I have become more and more aware and protective of my privacy.

Biker, all the lotions and potions disagree with me. The only thing that worked was the Tetosterone implant; which the Hospital have stopped.
I was hoping against hope that this product would work.
I might just buy it anyway and add it to all the rest.

That is a great shame Petra. Can you buy it or manage private care?

It is also the case that GN own the joint copyright on things posted on threads (look at the Ts and Cs) - and Geraldine has (sensitively) used some things posted on GN forum in articles she has written about GN and GN relevant issues. But unlike the DM I think Geraldine is on our side

Hoped to find some recommendations on products here, having read comments on Amazon about Replens that would prevent me from buying it. I don't know the names of any others, so would welcome advice please. Yes, I am too embarrassed to go to the doctors - yet.

There was a whole thread on this subject a while ago, at www.gransnet.com/forums/health/a1195635-Vaginal-atrophy

Try just using WET loo paper - and not drying. Just water - I find there is usually a tap within reach....except in supermarkets. Works for me!

How do you get the paper into your vagina ?

This thread is 8 years old btw.

Yikes, another of those. I wish I had realized

I wonder if the poster that brought the thread up again is advertising, and should be reported.

Yes I think so, because they're talking about a serum that tightens up the old nether regions and gives her and her husband a thrilling love life.
