Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants are used by women to help overcome vaginal dryness and solve intercourse difficulties. Vaginal dryness is a common condition faced by women of all ages; however, it is particularly common during and after the menopause transition. It is the result of decreased levels of estrogen, a hormone that keeps the lining of the vagina thick, moisturized, and lubricated. Estrogen levels begin to decrease as menopause approaches. Lack of vaginal moisture has a large impact on women’s sex life, causing pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse. Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants are widely used by women to overcome vaginal dryness. Moisturizers can be used on an everyday or regular basis to help maintain the vagina’s natural moisture. Moreover, lubricants are used at the time of sexual activity to increase moisture, reducing the painful friction and discomfort. Water-based lubricants are preferred over oil-based, as the oil-based ones lead to irritation and condom breakage. One of the key driving factors of the global vaginal moisturizers and lubricants market is the high occurrence of atrophic vaginitis, commonly known as vaginal dryness, affecting significant number of women. The problem is common among pre-menopausal women such as breastfeeding mothers, who have received chemotherapy, and those who have undergone a hysterectomy. In recent years, there has been a number of safe and effective treatments that have been introduced in the market (both prescribed and over-the-counter) for vaginal dryness and painful intercourse.
