I have used this for many years to counteract vaginal dryness and it works for that.The only drawback is that you have to insert it with an applicator , much like inserting a tampon (remember those🤣🤣🤣) and if that bothers you it would be an issue.
Plus side you get a little bit of Oestrogen which is welcome as I don't take HRT.
I understand that it helps avoid UTIs but as I've rarely throughout my life been troubled by UTIs , I can't say that the cream has prevented them.
Never had any bad side effects from use of the cream.

Has anyone used this due to having constant UTI infections?
If so was it okay?
Did it help?
