10 readers tested the moisturizing intimate gel Mucogyne

For women who suffer from vaginal dryness, lovemaking can feel unpleasant or even painful. A moisturizing intimate gel can work wonders. But anyone who thought that such a product is only useful during menopause is wrong. The call for candidates for a Mucogyne test quickly showed that many more women are looking for a moisturizing intimate gel than you might think. Each with their own motivation. Read on.

Emma (28) gave birth to her first child two months ago

When I was allowed to leave the hospital, the gynaecologist came by to discuss some practical matters. To my great surprise, she also asked me what I would take as a contraceptive. I had just pushed a baby out of my body and could barely sit down, so sex was really out of the question. Seven weeks later, it was time. It was still a 'different' experience than before the pregnancy, but I was so happy that I had Mucogyne. It made everything go a little smoother than I expected. I will continue to use it in the coming weeks and perhaps months. And who knows, it might even become a permanent fixture in my bedside table.

Karolien (39) has never used a moisturizing intimate gel before

We applied a ball of about a centimeter externally. I did not use it internally, it reminds me too much of a medical treatment. The texture, a kind of gel, felt surprisingly pleasant and felt nice and cool. The product also spread easily. I did have the impression that it quickly slid quite a lot, so maybe we should use a smaller dose next time. But that next time will come, we both agree on that.

Lena (46 years old) is approaching menopause

Slowly but surely I notice that my body is changing. Even making love is not always what it used to be. I remember that my gynaecologist once spoke negatively about lubricants, but he was referring to the products that you can buy in the supermarket. The fact that Mucogyne is a product that is prescribed by doctors for many problems reassured me. And I have to say that using it really adds value to the sexual experience. Perhaps a certain amount of stress also falls away mentally and that makes everything run much more smoothly.

Moreover, it is not a disruptive factor, such as putting on a condom.

You can apply the product in advance and no one will notice.

Karen (40) has cervical cancer

A few years ago I was diagnosed with endometriosis, a gynaecological condition in which cells of the uterine lining (endometrium), which normally line the inside of the uterus, also occur outside the uterus. Endometriosis has a negative effect on fertility. We had been trying to have a child for years, but mother nature was not really kind to us. Even dozens of IVF procedures could not help. My body has changed a lot after so many hormone treatments. I certainly do not feel as good during sex anymore. It is always an ordeal. In the meantime, cervical cancer was diagnosed, and since the operation I also feel 'different' in my body. I wondered whether Mucogyne could do something for the sexual experience, and I was pleasantly surprised. The gel is very soft, odourless and does not stick. The product is pleasant to use and does what it is supposed to: less painful friction and certainly no irritated feeling after sex. A good experience!

Diana (52 years old) suffered from pain during sex

My homeopathic doctor recommended Evening Primrose Oil to help restore the vulvovaginal wall and make it moist during sex. It turned out to be good advice. In addition, the oil is pleasant during sex, for massages and as a moisturizing intimate gel. When I received the invitation to try Mucogyne a few weeks later, I discovered an ideal aid to ensure the necessary comfort during sex: the gel is odorless and colorless, easy to apply and very discreet. Thanks to the product, you can surrender yourself to lovemaking without a care in the world. When I told my slightly younger sister – we are barely thirteen months apart – about my experiences a few days later, she also told me a positive story about using Mucogyne. Due to premenstrual problems, she had started to suffer from a dry vagina. Thanks to using the gel, these problems were completely resolved after a few weeks of almost daily use.

Eline (38 years old) is always open for fun, also in the bedroom

We occasionally have moisturizing intimate gel in the house, so of course I was prepared to test Mucogyne. When opening the packaging, I noticed that this is more of a 'pharmacy product', in contrast to the product we always get in the supermarket. When reading the package insert, I also discovered that this product has multiple purposes and effects. Not only useful to know, but it also inspires confidence. I heard nothing but good things about the ingredient hyaluronic acid. It felt pleasant to insert and also gave a pleasant feeling on the skin. The texture of the gel is nice, the smell neutral. I found it an added value in the love experience and I am definitely considering continuing to use it because of the different effects. I recommend other women to test the product as well. I bet that you and your partner will discover new fun things in the bedroom?

Naomi (26) is breastfeeding and has pain during penetration

I gave birth to my first child three months ago and until recently I always experienced pain during sex. As if the penis has to 'clear the way', every time. Very annoying, so I asked my gynaecologist for advice. He told me that the hormones that are released during breastfeeding keep your body in pregnancy mode for a while longer. Your body wants to prevent a new pregnancy, which in fact makes the vagina an 'inhospitable environment'. This vaginal dryness causes discomfort during penetration and can also cause internal wounds that cause a burning sensation after sex. I asked him if MucoGyne would help. “A quality product that can certainly bring relief”, he said. So I quickly applied for this test. My conclusion? A life changer! Finally I can enjoy lovemaking again.

Christine (45 years old) noticed a slight irritation in the pubic area

Before I had children, I often suffered from vaginal dryness, but since I gave birth, I haven't noticed much of it. So I didn't feel immediately addressed when I was asked to try Mucogyne. Under the motto 'if it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt', I accepted the offer. The gel ended up in my bedside table and I didn't really think about it for the first few weeks. Until one evening I was lying in bed with my husband and I felt a slight irritation in my pubic area. I have no idea what had caused it. An allergic reaction to a new detergent? A reaction to a new type of medication? But it really bothered me at the time. I thought about the gel in my bedside table… and it helped enormously. The light, fresh texture brought immediate relief and during sex I even felt a pleasantly stimulating sensation. I think I'll even apply the gel next time without having a real 'reason' for it.

Vanessa (33) and her husband welcomed their third son six months ago

I personally find the use of the applicator a bit awkward and a bit of a party-killer if you have to use it in the heat of the moment. That's why we chose to apply the product to the condom the second time and we really liked it that way. The gel is colorless, doesn't stick, and made for a more intense experience.

Annabelle (55 years old) complained about an itchy labia

When I started to suffer from an itchy labia a few years ago (especially at night), I asked my gynaecologist what the cause was. Nothing serious, she assured me: your skin becomes thinner and therefore more sensitive. She recommended the product Saforelle. Very good, but as I get closer to menopause, I notice that the hormonal fluctuations in my body also have an impact 'down there'. My intimate area is sensitive to panty liners and sanitary towels. All products that can help are welcome, so I tried Mucogyne. The gel provides immediate relief and is easy to apply due to its consistency. It does not stain clothing and gives a fresh feeling. A nice product for (solo) sex too. Especially when there is less time for foreplay, it is useful to apply the gel (also vaginally).
