| How it works | Vaginal Lubricant Vaginal lubricants are gels or liquids applied with sexual activity to decrease discomfort caused by friction during sex. Inadequate vaginal lubrication is a common symptom of genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Unlike moisturizers, which are used two to three times a week to reduce daily symptoms, lubricants are used at the time of sex. Common types are water-based, silicone-based, and oil-based. | — |
