Review: KY Liquibeads Vaginal Moisturizer

If you have experienced vaginal dryness, you know how unpleasant and painful sexual intercourse can be due to the dryness. I started having dryness problems when I approached the ripe old age of 40, and the problem got extremely worse after I had chemo. It’s become quite a challenge for me and my husband to find something that works for both of us.

Most of the lubricants I’ve seen on the market, and tried personally, are gel types and they can be quite messy. A lot of them have a fruity or candy smell which does not appeal to either of us, and most leave behind a sticky gooey mess. The gels often have to be reapplied if there is any “air” flow like a ceiling fan or such because they dry out and get tacky. I also have sensitive skin and found that most things I’ve used in the past cause a slight burning sensation.

KY Liquibeads Vaginal Moisturizer seems to be the answer for both myself and my husband.

The product comes in a box containing 6 inserts and 6 disposable applicators. The applicators are similar to those used to insert a tampon. The inserts, called “ovules”, remind me of large vitamin E capsules. The ovules have moisturizing and lubricating ingredients that help to restore vaginal moisture in a convenient natural manner.

The KY Liquibeads Vaginal Moisturizer eliminates the mess, there is no smell, and I didn’t experience any burning or stinging. With this product, you don’t have to be interrupted because the ovules can be inserted before you have sexual intercourse, so there’s not need to stop your activities in order to apply a gel based product for lubrication. Once the ovule is inserted, it starts to dissolve within just a few minutes, which is another great feature. I also like the fact that this product is free from estrogen, fragrance, and hormones. Oh, and there is no taste left behind, which can be a problem with other gel based lubricants.

I used one ovule every 4 days, so the 6 inserts lasted me 24 days. I didn’t think that was bad for the $12.00 price tag.

If you have a problem with vaginal dryness, I recommend you try this product. You’ll be glad you did, and so will your mate. When you’re in the mood, your body will be ready … just like in the good old days!
