I spoke with <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Suzanne Fenske, MD<\/a>, a double board-certified gynecologist, who sheds some light on the changes our bodies experience and why Coco Bliss is ideal for treating these symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn average, most women start experiencing symptoms of perimenopause in their early to mid-40s, but symptoms can start in late 30s,\u201d says Dr. Fenske.<\/p>\n<p>While there are dozens of symptoms women may experience, including a lowered libido, \u201cDeclining levels of estrogen can cause vaginal dryness, decreased lubrication, and thinner vaginal skin which is more susceptible to tears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if vaginal dryness is a common patient complaint, she points to a 2020 study that found that nearly two-thirds of women experience <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vaginal dryness during menopause<\/a>. Due to changing hormone levels, \u201cthe vaginal tissue becomes thinner and produces less hyaluronic acid,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;Declining estrogen also affects collagen production, which leads to thinner tissue.\u201d And while hyaluronic acid and collagen are buzzy skin-care ingredients, it\u2019s an <em>aha<\/em> moment to understand why a loss of these same components can lead to dry, sensitive skin, down there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In perimenopause and menopause, it is important to have a skin care routine for your vagina,&#8221; says Dr. Fenske. &#8220;This is a time when we have to treat the skin in our vagina and vulva with as much care as we treat the skin on our face.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>How Womaness Coco Bliss can help<\/h2>\n<p>Coco Bliss\u2019 formula includes oils of sweet almond, coconut, and jojoba, which Dr. Fenske says are \u201cwonderful natural options for management of vaginal dryness, and can be used as vaginal moisturizers or lubricants.\u201d She adds that keeping skin \u201csupple and hydrated\u201d also supports sexual health.<\/p>\n<p>According to sex therapist <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emily Morse, PhD<\/a>, Coco Bliss \u201cgives you a sexy slip, but doubles as a sensual massage lotion.&#8221; Plus, she says that adding lubricant to solo or coupled play means \u201cwomen are 80 percent more likely to orgasm\u201d which is a great reason to use it, every time.<\/p>\n<h2>What happened when I tried it<\/h2>\n<p>The moisturizer is fluid, but depending on the temperature may have some bits of solid coconut oil in it, so it&#8217;s best to warm it in your hands before applying it to your nether regions.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0light vanilla coconut scent is so alluring, I\u2019ll admit to tasting it (!) to know what to expect in <em>the moment<\/em>. Thankfully, it\u2019s mildly sweet and inoffensive, unlike some other scented lubricants on the market. It can be applied right after shaving without causing a burning sensation or fear of putting chemicals on delicate skin.<\/p>\n<p>When I first applied, there was a revelation: Comfort, silkiness, and prolonged hydration that stayed all day. I hadn\u2019t associated occasional irritation with dryness, but the soothing qualities of Coco Bliss gave me a new perspective. Coco Bliss can be used anywhere, but I prefer to use it for the intended area because it has the perfect texture and moisture level.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, consult your physician if you are experiencing any unexplained changes, itchiness, or pain. But if you have hormone-induced dryness and irritation or are looking for a nicely scented (and tasting!) all-natural personal lubricant, don\u2019t hesitate to add Coco Bliss to your routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not just about being naked.&#8221; Perimenopause can start as early as your late 30s, yet there is a (slowly dissipating) cloud of secrecy around it.
