5 Ways to Feel Sexy When You’re Suffering from Vaginal Dryness

 For many women, the onset of menopause – and, in particular, the onset of vaginal dryness – signals the end of sexual fulfillment. After all, how could you ever feel sexy when you’re dry and uncomfortable “down there”? Luckily, there are simple ways to boost your sexual drive and start feeling good about yourself again.

Read on for some simple steps that will make you feel sexy while relieving one of the more unpleasant menopausal symptoms.

Exercise

Jogging, swimming, biking – they don’t just make you healthier, they make you feel better, more energetic and sexier. If strenuous exercise is uncomfortable, try activities like gardening and playing with your children. Anything that gets your heart pumping will help boost your sexual drive and your self-confidence.

Stress relief

Feeling tired? Overworked? Drained? Well, what have you done for yourself lately? Stress worsens the symptoms of vaginal dryness and leaves you feeling irritable – a decidedly unsexy state of mind. Try taking up yoga or other activities that leave you feeling relaxed and fulfilled. Your self-image will thank you.

Find products to relieve your vaginal dryness

 The top cause of a loss of self-confidence during vaginal dryness is, well, vaginal dryness. There are plenty of lubricants, herbal remedies and prescribed medications that can help you to relieve your condition. Coupled with a healthy diet and exercise, they will leave you feeling vibrant and sexier in no time.

Set the mood

When it comes to feeling sexy, appearances matter. Try donning a flattering outfit and having an intimate dinner with your partner. Set some low lighting, some mood music and cook up some aphrodisiacs (think shellfish and red wine) to leave you feeling super sexy.

Have sex

 Nothing makes you feel sexier than the act itself. Having frequent intercourse with your partner is actually recommended during menopause. If dryness is a problem, be sure to use lubricants on both you and your partner’s genitalia.

Vaginal dryness during menopause can feel like an insurmountable barrier to enjoying intercourse and feeling sexy, but following these steps will bring you well on your way there once more. Go to the following link for more information about vaginal dryness.
