About Vaginal Dryness in Women
As women’s sexual hormones naturally decline with age we start to see:
- A reduction in the elasticity of the vagina and thinning of the skin
- An increase in vaginal pH and decrease in healthy vaginal flora
- Diminished natural lubrication
- Things may start to just “hurt” down there!
Dryness and discomfort often become the “accepted” norm. Researchers have also found that women start to experience many emotional, mood and confidence issues as vaginal dryness symptoms take over.
If a woman has a partner she may find:
- A sex life that needs life-support (Because it hurts!)
- A reduced sense of self-confidence as a woman or partner
- A feeling of disconnectedness or loneliness

A natural lubricant can help by reducing the irritation and painful intercourse caused by vaginal dryness. Natural solutions such as organic coconut oil, aloe vera gel, and essential oils do not contain the additional chemicals that can be seen in some commercial lubricant and vaginal moisturizing solutions. DIY lubricants can be created using many ingredients found in your kitchen cabinets and can offer temporary relief.
- 2 tablespoons fractionated coconut oil
- 1-2 drops essential oils (optional)*
- Supplies:
- Glass salve jar for storage
- Place the fractioned coconut oil and essential oils in a glass salve jar.
- Replace the lid and shake to mix.
- Keep bedside and voila!
- Use as much as desired before and during intimacy.
- Enjoy!
Warning – Coconut oil as a lubricant may impact the effectiveness of condoms, so please be aware if choosing to go this route.
