RE: Anyone have weird reactions to Replens?

[Guest guest]

Well, for sure I'd say stop using the Replens now! I used it and had the

clumping,cheesy stuff and irritation so there must be something in it that

we are reacting to.

I am now using and L O V E SPECTRUM 100% Coconut oil for lubrication,

both during sex and when my irritation is too noticeable during the days and

nights of just 'living'. It has been wonderful for me and I won't change

unless something dramatic causes me too.

It sometimes poses challenges for application as it is susceptible to

temperature and can harden (though not too hard to use - melts when it gets

on your fingers) or in summer months before a/c is turned on - it melts. I

have taken to putting in the frig during warmer months.

It has antifungus properties and I believe anti inflammatory properties as

well.

Olive oil, 100 % is also very good as a lubricant.

Anyone have weird reactions to Replens?

Hello,

I'm new to the group. I've dealt with this (vulvodynia both

vestibulitis and dysthetic/possible IC/tailbone and sit-bone

pain/hip pain/ and foot pain) on and off for 10 years...during the

last three the syptoms became permanent versus intermittent. Lots

of ideas about the possible causes but really, I'm not sure i.e.

correlation doesn't show causation. I'm married, in my thirties

(though I FEEL 50), no kids (well 2 cats but they didn't come out of

me...) and no signifigant health problems (no allergies, no

operations, I am height-weight proportionate, no immune problems,

and nothing contagious) a side from chronic pain...and a lower IQ

than I'd like...my health is pretty good.

So...on to the Replense question. I've used a variety a lubricants

down there...some have helped and some haven't. I wanted to try a

longer acting moisturiser so that intercourse (we try to try it at

least 1 time a month) could be more " spontaneous. " But Replens

immediately turns into these really weird chunks/clumps...nothing

else does this...not even in any combo that I've tried. The package

insert says something about " skin sloughing " but should it be

immediate?

Some days...anything that touchs anything down there tends to

burn...even products that don't burn at other times. Sometimes the

Replens makes the outer edges of my skin turn gray/white while the

inner area is quite red. The only other thing I've seen do that is

a vinger H2o solution that I used to use as a rinse. Oh, and a

lidocaine ointment. Still...nothing like the Replense reaction.

Any Ideas?

Thanks. Good-Luck to you ALL.

Just wanted to say " thanks " for responding. Is the spectrum coconut

oil something specifically created for sex? Or is it for food

preparation? I'd like to try buying some and was wondering where to

find it at the grocery store.

Thanks ;-)

Dunno where you can buy it in stores. I bought off Internet.
