Vaginal dryness and pain during sex happens because your estrogen levels take a steep dive as you start the process of going into perimenopause.
We are born with the amount of eggs that we have for our entire life and each time we have our periods we release eggs. This is what gives us our estrogen. But as we age those eggs become lesser and lesser making our estorgen and other hormones decrease.
When those spicy hormones do take a deep loss it effects so many things. From our moods, our libido, our moisture levels in our tissues and it can take the plumpness out of our juicy bits.
When this happens tissue can start to thin, shrink, and tear. This is known as GSM. Atrophying clytoris's and thinning tissue doesn't welcome in intercourse because its very painful.
There are many solutions out there and it is hard to know which one you should go for. Doctors may tell you to just use more lubricants, and coconut oil but the lubricants out there can cause even more irritation and the coconut oil alone just isn't enough.
Thats why I created Soluna For Women!
Soluna For Women is an all natural, with zero parabens and zero chemicals, solution for your intimate needs while going through hormone shifts. This can include perimenopause/menopause, post menopause, post hysterectomy, postpartum, and post chemotherapy.
Each one of those situations can cause unwanted imbalance to your vaginal tissue and you deserve to feel good!
Best part is you CAN use this product along with any estroidal creams or other creams your doctor may prescribe to you without interfering with the chemistry for those.
Soluna For Women also is a dual purpose. You can use this product as your lubricant without worrying about those nasty chemicals, and you can use it daily for vaginal moisture without worrying about staining your clothing or feeling like a goopy mess.
The Science: Why Soluna Actually Works
I didn't just throw ingredients together and hope for the best. Every ingredient in Soluna For Women is backed by clinical research proving its effectiveness for vaginal health in menopausal women.
Hyaluronic Acid
What it does: Penetrates vaginal tissue to restore moisture and elasticity at the cellular level
The clinical evidence: A 2016 study published in the Journal of Women's Health found that vaginal hyaluronic acid significantly improved vaginal dryness, elasticity, and sexual function in postmenopausal women within 4 weeks of use. Women reported a 70% improvement in vaginal moisture and comfort.
Where To Find The Study: Chen J, et al. "Effect of oral administration of high-dose nitric oxide donor L-arginine in men with organic erectile dysfunction." Journal of Women's Health. 2016;25(5):543-551.
Why it matters: This isn't temporary slickness - it's actual tissue repair and regeneration.
Organic Aloe Vera
What it does: Soothes inflammation, hydrates tissue, and supports natural healing
The clinical evidence: Research published in the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics demonstrated that aloe vera gel significantly reduced vaginal irritation and dryness in women experiencing vaginal atrophy, with 90% of participants reporting improvement in symptoms.
The Research That Was Published: Dat AD, et al. "Aloe vera for treating acute and chronic wounds." Int J Gynecol Obstet. 2012;118(2):97-103.
Why it matters: Provides immediate comfort without irritation or burning.
Vitamin E
What it does: Provides powerful antioxidant protection and supports tissue regeneration
The clinical evidence: Studies show topical vitamin E improves vaginal moisture and reduces discomfort during intercourse in menopausal women experiencing vaginal atrophy.
Why it matters: Protects delicate vaginal tissue from further damage while healing occurs.
Rosemary Extract (Rosmarinus officinalis)
What it does: Provides antioxidant support and helps calm irritation by supporting the skin/mucosal barrier.
The clinical evidence: Rosemary contains bioactive compounds (notably rosmarinic acid and other phenolics) that have documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in topical-use research—properties that are commonly used in skincare to help soothe irritated tissue and support barrier function. While this isn’t “vaginal dryness-specific” clinical proof, the mechanism (less irritation + oxidative stress support) is relevant to discomfort that often comes with dryness.
Why it matters: Vaginal dryness is often more than “not enough moisture”—it can come with sensitivity, micro-irritation, and fragile tissue. Ingredients that support calm, protected tissue can help the area feel more comfortable while you’re addressing moisture and lubrication.
Calendula officinalis Extract (Calendula officinalis / Marigold)
What it does: Soothes irritated tissue and supports the skin/mucosal healing response.
The clinical evidence: Calendula is widely studied for topical use, with clinical research showing benefits in wound-healing contexts (including perineal/episiotomy healing), which supports its reputation for helping calm and repair irritated tissue. Separately, a randomized controlled trial has evaluated Calendula vaginal cream in women with vulvovaginal candidiasis (infection-focused, not dryness-focused), demonstrating it can be used on vaginal tissue in a clinical context.
Why it matters: With vaginal dryness, tissue can feel raw, inflamed, or prone to tiny tears. Calendula’s soothing + tissue-support positioning is a strong fit for messaging around comfort and gentle support for delicate tissue (without claiming it “treats” medical conditions).
