Vagirux residue

2 replies

I am 54 and on HRT including testosterone. I have been using vagirux pessaries but I find I often have chalky or sometimes creamy residue the next morning. I also know that the advice is not to have sex when you have recently inserted the vagirux. I sometimes feel reluctant to insert one at bedtime just in case we want to have sex and can’t. My libido seems to be picking up so I am hoping we will be having more sex !

Thinking about asking my GP to prescribe a cream or gel. Would be grateful if anyone has made the change and whether it has improved things. Thanks.

You can insert it daytime. Vagirux (aka Vagifem) is a pessary and sticks to the vaginal wall unlike cream which will just ooze out.

Or, if you want to you can insert it after sex.

Thank you. That’s helpful. I’m going to try using it in the mornings.
