Who is it for?

For any woman experiencing genitourinary symptoms, including vaginal dryness, itching, burning, incontinence, painful sex, and frequent UTIs. The vaginal cream contains a small amount of estradiol (0.01%), one of three kinds of estrogen your body makes naturally. The dose is low enough that it is only absorbed in the tissue it is applied to, and does not raise blood levels of estrogen. This means it's safe for everyone, including breast cancer survivors.

What is it?

A 3-month supply of non-systemic estradiol vaginal cream (0.01%) along with an applicator. Note: The whole 3-month supply comes in one tube!

When used consistently, estradiol vaginal cream can reverse tissue changes such as thinning and altered pH due to the genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Unlike a topical lubricant, estradiol cream addresses the root cause of these issues. Because you are actually restoring the vaginal, vulvar and urethral tissues, you will start feeling better gradually. The timeline for maximum results is 4-12 weeks.

How to use it

The official recommended dosage is 1 gram every other day. That's approximately 15 grams in a month, and the tube contains 42.5 grams, so a tube should last you the whole 3 months! A gram is equivalent to a pea-sized amount.

If you are using the cream internally, it is best applied with the applicator, which helps you measure out the correct dosage and get the cream far up the vaginal canal to reach the bladder and urethra. If you'd rather not use the applicator, your index finger can work too.

The cream can also be used externally. Use it on the vulva or anywhere you feel discomfort. Just use your fingers and remember to rub the cream in completely.

Regardless of the application, it is important to stick with it. Once you have maximum improvement you may find you need to use it less, but it is recommended you use it at least 2-3 times per week to maintain results.
