The only guide you will need to choose the perfect vaginal moisturizer.
Renata's Ultimate Guide to Vaginal Moisturizers.
We tested 30+ vaginal moisturizers on the US market. We used them for 4 to 8 weeks to appreciate immediate and long-term satisfaction. We evaluated seven different categories:
a/ effectiveness
b/ price
c/ ease of use
d/ feel
e/ ease of purchase
f/ side effects, and
g/ we also asked our sexual partners about their feedback.
We rated each category from 1 to 5 stars, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best, with the best possible total score being 35.
