BIO-FEM Instant Moisturiser

Every woman goes through the menopause but it's natural to feel anxious about the effects it can have on your mind and body. Thankfully, attitudes towards 'the change' have become a great deal more positive in recent years and there's plenty of support out there for women who are experiencing undesirable symptoms.

Statistics show that up to 40% of women experience vaginal dryness during the menopause*, but is still a largely ignored subject. When a woman's vagina isn't properly lubricated, it can feel itchy and irritated. This condition, vaginal dryness, can make daily activities uncomfortable and sexual intercourse less pleasurable. In fact, during menopause, it's the most common cause of painful sex (dyspareunia). BIO-FEM products offer you a natural solution throughout your life, through the menopause and beyond.

BIO-FEM Instant Moisturiser is a new way to care for and condition delicate skin. It helps to correct the moisture balance of the vaginal tissue, resulting in a soft and comfortable feeling. It gives instant relief of discomforts relating to vaginal dryness while providing extra comfort and moisture and can also be used during sexual intercourse as it contains lubricating properties and is safe to use with condoms.

BIO-FEM Instant Moisturiser's formula is based on natural plant extracts and is safe and harmless (even when swallowed) and it does not contain any preservatives. It can also be applied to a tampon for ease of insertion and can be used as part of your daily hygiene routine.

So don't let your hormones control your life. BIO-FEM Instant Moisturiser gives you the freedom to forget about your discomforts and get on with living your life.
