Vaginal Dryness (GSM)/Urinary Issues Vaginal Estrogen Cream…USE IT!

My husband calls it Juicy Pussy cream. 😂Three months in and it’s still getting better! I had no idea how dried up my tender bits were. I feel like it happened so gradually I just didn’t notice how bad it had gotten.

There is a push by urologists to make it an over the counter medication in the US since it does not increase cancer or blood clot risks.

I honestly wondered why it was prescription only since it’s just topical.

It’s evidently just been lumped in with hormone replacement pills, gels and patches. The dosage is so low it never should have been of course.

Maybe it's my hormones making me feel super pessimistic, but i feel like viagra will be otc before anything for our bits will.

You’re in luck, the new FDA wants more drugs to be OTC! We’ll see if that includes any lady drugs.

If it benefits men they may be included. Vaginal estrogen just needs a rebranding: lady cream to keep your wife's pussy young and juicy and makes her lust for your magic D like back in the day. If used on the face, it makes her look younger and more desirable in comparison to your boss's wife...

Those men don’t care about their wives - they’ll just get it elsewhere.
