Bloom Krans Vulva Balm Cream Vaginal Moisturizer Organic & Natural Intimate Skin Cream - Estrogen Free Treatment Helps Reduce Vaginal Dryness & Itching - Vulva Harmony

After trying various products, found something that suits me. No burning or irritation. Small jar but a little goes a long way.

like it - does what it says

We are taught to take care of our skin, how important it is. We spend hundreds of dollars on hand cream, body lotion, and face cream. But no one ever told me to give equal attention to my vulva skin. Why? Because we are embarrassed to have it, or that it might need TLC? Why didn't I just think of it on my own? Why did it take being 49 years old and going through crazy body changes for me to realize my skin needed attention? Well, I know now and am willing to tell anyone who will listen! Take care of your skin...ALL of your skin.For me it is because of pre menopausal symptoms but I am sure women of all ages and situations should be treating their vulva skin better. I without warning and without being armed with any real knowledge started to experience symptoms. First there was itching, then some burning, some pain, some odor, and eventually painful sex. Eventually in one particularly bad flair up even the slightest touch of toilet tissue was like razor blades and the gentlest of self examination felt as if I was tearing my skin apart.Over the course of a year or more I was sure I had some disease or another. And everything I was doing to try and help just made things worse! Eventually through tons of research I understood my skin was dry and frail from pre menopause but even then there was no real information that was super clear other than talk to your doctor. I finally happened upon an article that made one huge point that changed everything for me. We care for the delicate skin of our face, lips and hands...why not our vulva! Ding, light bulb moment.From that moment forward it all made sense. Gently wash with appropriate cleanser and moisturize. Seems so simple. Now mind you this is not a cure all just common sense care. And, since each of us is different we each will need different products that work well with our bodies. I us a Ph balancing feminine wash, a natural female supplement, an aloe lubricant for internal needs and vulva balm cream for the entire vulva area.As far as this specific product, vulva balm cream, it has been like a miracle for me. Within one day there was relief from the razor blade pain, within days there was relief from the skin tearing feeling when parting skin, and in a week or less healthy younger feeling vulva skin! Apparently slowly over the years I had even forgotten what that should feel like. What ever texture or fragrance issue any one talks about be damned! If you are suffering and something works it's brilliant. As far as texture it is like very soft slightly melted butter that melts even more to the touch but it glides on silky smooth and seems far less oily than you would expect. The smell is a bit medicinal, like very faint menthol vapor rub...very faint.Apply as much or as little as you need or like. At first I was using it gingerly but very many times a day, after every bathroom visit essentially. Now I liberally apply it all over the area after bath or shower time and again if I feel I need to depending on daily situations like the fact that I had actually gotten my period during my first week or so of use as well. Each of us is different I know! I am very sensitive to everything, both externally on my skin and internally as far as supplements and medications...I am a walking allergy and sensitivity poster girl! But this works for me with NO issue. No burning, no stinging, no rash, no itch, no pain. I can't believe it but it's true. I use this on the all areas of my vulva skin, just not internally. So for something like inserting a tampon or sex I use aloe but as a moisturizer for all around vulva balm creamSo now I am telling anyone who wants to know. I have shared it with my daughters who are far from their change of life! Take care of your vulva skin. Don't be afraid to ask question and talk about it. It's so important, because when and if something happens it ruins every part of your life. The pain and discomfort of even simple every day things much less the intimate things can be near unbearable. You don't want the skin on yours face, lips and hands to become thin dry and cracked...so I'm betting you don't want your intimate and much more sensitive vulva skin too either.

I started having issues w/ vaginal dryness/itching etc when I entered peri-menopause. For me that hit around age 40. Downhill from there..After a long wretched menopause which "ended" around age 55 the OB-GYN Dr told me I had lichen sclerosis. ?? Yup -- ya get old & moss grows on ya. Kidding but not really -- it's about as much fun as it sounds. It's considered a rare condition (lucky me) & just adds to the thinning, dryness, itching, general cruddiness that is being an older female. I was prescribed a steroid ointment which did help but you con't use steroids for long periods of time & they tend to thin your skin & have other side effects. Great. I would ask every year at my exam....anything new to help with this?? Nope. They have NO idea. And this is at a very holistic,woman- centric practice.(I am now 64) I finally had enough & searched online. Found other products --they are OK but not great. Then I saw this. I was ready for disappointment but I have to say -- this lotion works. Not 100% but that is asking too much. It makes wiping less destructive --it puts up a protective barrier against toilet paper & it softens the skin to help it stay flexible. You can use it as often as you like & as much as you want but a little goes a long way. It is easy to apply, & not too messy. So far I am very pleased & relieved to find something that works without side effects --it is reasonably priced for the relief it gives me & I would recommend it to any woman trying to deal with these issues. The review I read that made the most sense to me & helped me choose this product used this logic: we spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on lotions for every other area of our skin, so why not a lotion designed for the most tender skin of all? And with the added discomfort of the lichen sclerosis, it made tons of sense & I thank her for that advice. This balm really does help.

Relief from the burning and pain I did not expect after menopause. Why do women not talk about this other than one or two "delicately" worded ads on television. I certainly wish I looked like those over 50 beauties in the commercials but I don't. This is not a delicate issue and it is happening to a majority of women post-menopause. We speak of tampons, urinary incontinence, and men's ED but can't speak in truthful, factual words on the burning, pain, itching that drives us crazy. This moisturizer works great, has no hormones and does not have to be used every day. Vulva Balm cream does not stain or make me feel gross like some of the injected vaginal creams I've tried that cost over $100 a month by prescription. If I was to say anything negative it would be the "vaseline" smell and feel but I can live with that. This part may be edited but needs saying, it brings back the ability to have spontaneous sex again, oral or vaginal, none of the hormones or white stuff or gunky feeling. it's just so different than other OTC and prescription I have tried, you will be pleased with the product.

This cream has put me back on track to being my old self! Have had dryness and irritation issues since menopause 11 years ago. Hmmm, how to say this without being vulgar or gross? This also took care of an unacceptable odor problem I was having. Cream has a nice consistency and is easy to use. All those nasty post-menopausal annoyances have completely vanished since the first night I used it. I feel normal and confident again, which is worth it's weight in gold! Good job Bloom Krans, thanks so much.

I was hesitant because someone said it didn't smell good, or had a "medicinal" smell. So glad I didn't listen to them. It is COMPLETELY odorless to me so I'm unsure where those reviews come from. This is a Godsend - I so wish I knew about this year's ago!!!! Better late than never. Love it!!!!
