Menopause & Perimenopause FAQs
Q: What is perimenopause and how is it different from menopause?
A: Perimenopause is the transitional stage before menopause, when hormone levels start to shift. It can last several years and often includes symptoms like irregular periods, dryness, mood changes, and hot flashes. Menopause is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period.
Q: Is vaginal dryness normal during menopause?
A: Yes — it’s extremely common. As estrogen levels drop, the vaginal tissue can become thinner, drier, and more prone to irritation. It’s not talked about enough, but it affects millions of women and is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Q: Why is a specialized lubricant or vaginal moisturizer important during menopause?
A: Most store-brand lubricants weren’t created with menopausal women in mind. They often include drying ingredients like glycerin or harsh preservatives. A specialized formula like ours includes hydrating, gentle ingredients (like hyaluronic acid) to soothe and support sensitive vaginal tissue without burning or irritation.
Q: Can vaginal dryness cause painful sex or other symptoms?
A: Definitely. Vaginal dryness can lead to discomfort during intimacy, itching, burning, or even small tears in the tissue. Using a moisturizer or lubricant regularly can make a major difference in comfort, confidence, and intimacy.
Q: How often should I use a vaginal moisturizer like Nectar?
A: You can use it as often as needed. Some women use it daily for hydration, others just before intimacy. It’s safe for regular use and you’ll quickly learn what your body responds to best.
Q: I’m not in menopause yet — can I still use this?
A: Absolutely. Vaginal dryness can affect women of any age due to stress, hormonal shifts, certain medications, or birth control. If you’re experiencing discomfort, it’s worth trying a product that supports vaginal health without unnecessary chemicals.
