LivRing is an intravaginal moisturizer that can provide up to 7 days of relief from vaginal dryness symptoms. As a lubricating vaginal ring, it can contribute to a woman's overall health and wellbeing. To better understand why, consider the importance of vaginal moisturization to women's health.

When all things are as they should be, a woman's body naturally produces lubricant that keeps vaginal tissue moist and healthy. Moist and healthy tissue is also thick and elastic. When that natural lubrication dries up, the tissue also becomes dry. It thins out and loses its elasticity. This is commonly known as vaginal dryness, which can contribute to other health conditions.

Maintaining Tissue Integrity

Vaginal tissue integrity can affect a woman's health in multiple ways. Poor tissue integrity can lead to pain and discomfort. It can make sexual intercourse painful enough to avoid. In addition, the symptoms of vaginal dryness can make even sitting and standing uncomfortable.

Moisturizing products rehydrate vaginal tissue, leading to improved elasticity and pliability. This translates to improved tissue integrity and reduces pain and discomfort.

Infections and Microtears

Restoring vaginal tissue integrity does more than just alleviate pain and discomfort. It also reduces the risk of vaginal infections normally associated with dryness. A hydrated and healthy vagina will likely be less susceptible to infection.

Also consider microtearing. Vaginal tissue is extremely sensitive – even when healthy. When it's dry, thin, and less elastic than it should be, tiny tears can develop. Any such tears only increase pain and discomfort. They can also allow for vaginal infections.

Regular moisturization maintains tissue elasticity and can restore tissue to its normal thickness, both resulting in a lower likelihood of tearing and ultimately in improved vaginal health.

Moisturization and Sexual Activity

We often speak of vaginal moisturization in relation to sexual activity. Good sex is an integral part of women's health, but it might be hard to come by if a woman is experiencing vaginal dryness. The solution is regular moisturization.

Vaginal moisturizers alleviate vaginal dryness. They help restore tissue thickness and elasticity. In so doing, they also enhance sexual comfort and pleasure. Friction is reduced, pain is mitigated, and the overall experience is better.

Consistency Is the Key

The key to improving vaginal health in relation to dryness is consistency. Numerous studies, including one published in the International Journal of Women's Health in 2018, indicate that vaginal moisturizers are most effective when they are used on a daily basis. The study also suggested that combining a vaginal moisturizer with regular sexual activity can improve a woman's vaginal health.

Additionally, a vaginal moisturizer is not the same thing as a lubricant for sex. Lubricants are applied prior to intercourse for the purpose of reducing friction. A vaginal moisturizer is specifically designed to rehydrate the vagina on a consistent basis.

Given that consistency is so important, we recommend LivRing as an alternative to creams and lotions that must be applied daily. LivRing's advantage lies within its intravaginal ring design. The ring is inserted into the vagina where it gradually releases a moisturizing lubricant for up to 7 days.

FDA Cleared and Hormone Free

Given that vaginal moisturization is so important to women's health, moisturizing products should be up to the task. LivRing is the ideal OTC solution. It’s FDA cleared and not made with any hormones or fragrances. We invite you to learn more about LivRing and how it could help you conquer your vaginal dryness symptoms once and for all.
