For Vaginal Dryness "I have used the replens disposable applicator version and had no problem. Recently bought what I thought was the same product but it turned out to be a tube of moisturizer with a separate applicator. Second use and I find brown clumps and a little pink in the discharge and I'm sore inside. Going back to using Bezwecken ovals. They aren't perfect but they don't cause bleeding and soreness."

For Vaginal Dryness "About 10 min after using Replens, I felt the leaking and started getting a burning feeling so I googled it and found this site. Like everyone else, I wish I saw this first. The burning started to get more intense. Luckily I have a shower that also has a hand held sprayer. I went in and spread my vag and sprayed cool water inside for awhile to try to flush it out. Not sure how far up it went but the burning stopped and it felt better. Tossed the rest of the box. Will now try to figure out some other way to get rid of dryness to alleviate painful sex."

For Vaginal Dryness "I bought this product and the lubricant gel . Well even using both together in the same day for sex I experienced pain and bleeding. I paid a lot of money with the hopes of not having painful intercourse. After several attempts in the past year, I am at a loss as to what will work."

For Vaginal Dryness "I just began using Replens, with first and second days use I did not feel cramping, bloody/brown show etc. Several weeks later with third use bingo, I experienced: bloating, cramping, blood/brown show. Today after yesterdays application, I am still bloated and have cramping. I am seventy one and not on any kind of medicine, so nothing has interfering with the product. I hope all who experienced side effects called the company, they need to know your experience. What's happening isn't right and they need to know."

For Vaginal Dryness "You can easily get compounded hyluronic acid (in a decent size tube) for this- what I do. I use the applicator and some nights I also add in a bit of Ovestin which is estriol and safe to use there. You don't need a script. No issues. I have tried everything else. The Ovestin is prescription and I like that applicator."

For Vaginal Dryness "Used Replens 6 hours ago and I'm typing this laying in bed in the fetal position in tears with the worst cramps I've ever had in my life. It feels like period cramps but so much worse. The drama of menopause is bad but I'd much rather deal with that than this and I wish I had found this forum prior to spending a decent amount of money on this junk."

For Vaginal Dryness "Thought I would try because of vag dryness. On second round notices thick white/grayish discharge on first use and second it has increased it's quite unsettling, but if it's dead cells omg how much more. Now feel slight cramping unsure if it's the product or my cycle. Nothing has changed with the dryness debating if I should continue use."

For Vaginal Dryness "Avoid this stuff at all costs!! I was looking for something to help with dryness and burning caused by perimenopause, I used this twice and had a lot of watery discharge at first. I had sex the following day and afterwards I had brown discharge, I had to insert and remove 3 tampons in a row to pull this stuff out, adding to the discomfort, I then started to get greyish discharge with black specks, burning and cystitis feelings, I feel right back to square 1 with my symptoms which were improving with vagifem, I’m terrified about what I’ve done to my insides!!!"

For Vaginal Dryness "I’m in my late 20’s decided to use this product for more comfort during sex. I only used the product twice. It was the worst decision I could have made. Ever since I’ve dealt with cramping, thick white discharge, vaginal irritation, and my period has not been the same. Complex cyst first on the left ovary and on my f/u visit now on the right ovary. This product definitely seems to effect hormones as I had no issues before using it. I’m scared and praying that my body will go back to normal. I would not recommend this product."

For Vaginal Dryness "Same experience as the other reviewers. I almost had a heart attack after I wiped and saw lots of thick rubbery white clumps with what looked liked brown dried blood mixed in. I also got slight cramping after applying each time. I only used this about once a week for two months and the discharge happened after the second month - or maybe it got cleaned out when I had my period and I never noticed it. I'm going to be looking for another product as this is not an acceptable option for me anymore!"

For Vaginal Dryness "Post menopausal, 4 years since last period. Used a box of pre-filled Replens for less than a month. Had the whitish/yellow discharge others describe. Then, tried the Replens that you fill the provided syringe with. Noticed little specks of brown that I thought was blood. Scared the "blank" out of me. Caused me to panic and search the web, only to find other woman experienced the same post-menopausal. The brown specks/blood discharge should be listed on the label, so that a person doesn't panic. The menopausal anxiety and stress I already have sky-rocketed when I saw blood-like specks. Will stop using product as a result."

For Vaginal Dryness "I have just come back from a smear test and the nurse pulled out a lump of white discharge which now may have interfered with getting a result. After reading all these other reviews I think it is attributable to Replens which I have been using for a few months. I will not be using it again that’s for sure, but I’m glad I read these reviews so I know the discharge is most probably due to this product, like others though I wish I had read these before using it."

For Vaginal Dryness "I used this as a way to get rid of the iron smell after my period ended this latest cycle. I read it’s good for clearing odors away. So I used this stuff this morning and what do I have 12 hours later…a ton of white-grey-brown chunky discharge. There’s no way I’m having sex tonight if this is what’s going on down there. This is gross, what did I do to myself?"

For Vaginal Dryness "I get intense burning from usage of Replens and bad cramps. My cramps aren't uterine, because I had a hysterectomy years ago, so I know these cramps are actually from the burning inside my vagina which mimics period cramps. These symptoms aren't something someone would expect from a product that is suppose to be helpful. It doesn't work well for my vaginal dryness either. I'm throwing the rest of the box out, which makes me mad because it's way overpriced. I don't trust this product."

For Vaginal Dryness "I used this moisturiser 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 moisturised 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’ve used Replens for several years and have had no problems EXCEPT when the company started using the newer style applicator. It does not have a rounded end and was painful to use and caused bleeding. Fortunately I had saved some of the old, round-end reusable applicators. I am having trouble finding the tube of Replens rather than the pre-filled applicators. I use about half of the recommended amount once or twice a week. Am 24 years past menopause."

For Vaginal Dryness "In my late 20s- Bought this thinking it would be a better alternative to Estrogen cream, plus the convenience of dosed applications. Used it once, at night. The next day my vagina was drier than a desert and I had to use soap to lubricate my vagina to try to pull out the white chunks everyone else is talking about. Also noticed I had blood tinge discharge but at the time didn't think too much of it-now I see it's clearly common among users after reading these experiences on here! Won't ever use this again!"

For Vaginal Dryness "I’ve tired before didn’t connect the burning with the product until this time. After the third application I felt a burn coming on and over a hour or so got so intense I felt like I had to give birth to a ball of acid. It hurt to urinate like a severe UTI. I have chills and feel like my bladder is spasming. I know it’s not a UTI because I checked my urine. This stuff also, I think, mixes with the normal vaginal secretions and is causing the white clumps that feel like grit almost. I’m not sure if this is a allergic reaction or what but I wouldn’t wish this burning UTI pain on my worse enemy. I’m not sure that using any vaginal gel, cream, etc is healthy as I can see how it would cause a UTI or worse. What’s even worse a NP told me to use it."
