For Vaginal Dryness "OMG! Why did I not read these reviews first? Used this product to moisturize the Va-jay-jay and after intercourse, the chalky, yeasty-looking, rubbery substance is BEYOND embarrassing. I mistook it for a yeast infection and even took Diflucan and Monistat. I was so fed up, I went to the gynecologist who immediately knew exactly what it was. They need to pull it off the shelves."

For Vaginal Dryness "After using Replens, I have had white clumps the next day, as well as reddish, sometimes brownish, and this only happened the next day after use. Not to mention, a couple of minutes after use, I had burning. Once, I had a yeast infection from it within a week, and I've not had a yeast infection in 25 years. Yes, it does moisturize and last, and I love that, but the side effects are not normal."

For Vaginal Dryness "According to the instructions, 'a few days after first using Replens, you may notice an off-white residue (which may be dry and bitty). This is natural and is the result of Replens cleansing the vaginal passage. The vagina is normally self-cleansing, but when you have been dry for some time, discarded cells tend to accumulate. Replens simply clings to these cells and flushes them away.' My experience did differ a bit from this description. I am not menopausal, and as far as I know, I have a normal amount of discharge, so I believed my vagina was self-cleansing just fine. I have mild PCOS without diabetes, and I am using Nuvaring, which I did not remove when I used Replens right before bed a few days ago. The next morning, I had this huge amount of white stuff and worried I may have developed a yeast infection. The next 2 days, I had a few more small chunks and a LOT of clear watery fluid. I will use it once a week and see if it gets 'less and less' as it says in the instructions."

For Vaginal Dryness "I used 1/2 a dose the first time. Ended up at MD with a yeast infection and BV. Stay away. It has mineral oil and glycerin. Lesson learned. I should give my medical bill to the company. I am going to return if I can for sure."

For Vaginal Dryness "I used this moisturizer because at times intercourse can be painful. It did help, however, I also experienced the white chunks and had to actually use a douche to flush it all out. The vagina was moisturized, but after intercourse with my partner, it looked like a yeast infection gone haywire. Would not recommend, Replens need to review their ingredients and the consistency."

For Vaginal Dryness "I thought I had a yeast infection, but my doctor says it is from the Replens. It looks awful. I will stop using this immediately and switch to another product."
