Designed by women for women, Combe creates new Vagisil personal lubricant

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Combe on Thursday announced the launch of Vagisil Prohydrate Natural Feel, an internal personal lubricant and moisturizing gel designed to relieve vaginal dryness and make intimacy more comfortable.  



"Vaginal dryness occurs in women of all ages and there's no reason to be ashamed," stated Keech Combe-Shetty, CEO of Combe.  "When you learn about the causes, you won't be surprised by how many women actually experience it. Hormonal changes, childbirth, breastfeeding, stress, antihistamines and birth control can all trigger vaginal dryness."



As many as 60% of dryness sufferers reported that they've experienced symptoms of vaginal dryness before the age of 40 and more than 76% of these women experiencing vaginal dryness during sexual activity, Combe reported.



Vagisil's Prohydrate Natural Feel Moisturizing Gel is designed to feel like the natural moisture that a woman's body produces and has no added dyes, preservatives, perfumes or estrogen.  The bio-adherent formula coats the vaginal wall to provide dryness relief instantly, so there is no waiting to be intimate, then it slowly releases moisture over time for a long-lasting benefit.  It features the unique properties of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring component in the skin proven to attract and retain moisture.  Hyaluronic acid is found throughout the body and is present in almost every cell.  The product works with a woman's body to supplement her own natural lubrication.



The product has been well researched, the company added. The doctors and intimate skincare experts at Vagisil, who are all women themselves, were determined to develop a solution that would not only treat dryness in an effective way, but also reflect their research that current lubricants weren't meeting women's personal preferences — they were too messy, for example.  



The team conducted more than 20 research studies and surveyed more than 7,000 women to understand what they wanted in a dryness solution.



Each box of Vagisil Prohydrate Natural Feel Moisturizing Gel comes with eight single-use pre-filled applicators that targets the source of dryness.  The product is long-lasting and may be used in advance of intimacy and is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms.



Vagisil Prohydrate Natural Feel Moisturizing Gel has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  It has been clinically and gynecologist tested.
