User Comments about Vagifem

05 Oct 2009

I have been using this product daily for about 10 days and I have noticed a marked rise in my interest in sex. My husband is delighted. Our weekend sex date was amazing and I did not have the pain and skin tears I have been having. I have had to use lube for years and we still used it now, but there is a return of a more normal wetness to the vaginal walls. I should also add that I seem to be thinking more about sex which is a good thing. I thought I had lost all interest except for pleasing my husband. Now I am again wanting sex for myself.
