“As a new mum, I experienced intimate dryness for the first time and I felt completely alone in my problem. No one else talked about it. Doctors pointed me towards dusty old ointments that looked like they’d been sat on pharmacy shelves since the 80s. That was the extent of the education and support.
Now I’m entering the perimenopause years, it’s an issue again, but this time I’m well equipped. I know how common this issue is, I’m armed with information, and I know I’m not alone. There’s nothing to feel embarrassed about. (Says me, in the giant vulva costume)”

“I've had quite a few issues with the old "lady garden" since going through the menopause: dryness, irritation, water infections and horrible, repeated cysts/lumps.”
“To stand in a room full of people with your down belows absolutely crawling with itch was torturous. Keeping a straight face and pretending everything was normal was so exhausting.”
“I am not only going through the menopause but am also on drugs for breast cancer which has the side effect of drying you out “down there””.
