Frequently Asked Questions

Crème de la Femme is an all-natural vaginal lubricant and moisturizer.  Developed by a woman doctor and trusted by women for over 35 years, it is a luxurious yet ultra-sheer cream that leaves protective, silky moisture on intimate tissue. And gives instant relief from uncomfortable vaginal dryness, no matter why it happens.

Dryness occurs anytime a woman’s estrogen hormone level drops too low, and estrogen can diminish for many reasons. Menopauseis the most common cause. By age 50, over 80% of women feel uncomfortable dryness, at least sometimes. If that dryness continues too long, it becomes painful. Vaginal irritation and even infection can follow. But low estrogen can happen earlier in a woman’s life, for a number of reasons. For example: breastfeeding, extreme exhaustion or prolonged stress, chemotherapy, ovarian dysfunction, birth control pills, and even eating disorders.

It works a lot like a rich, luxurious facial moisturizer.  It protects intimate tissue with an ultra-thin layer of moisture. Of course, only prescription hormone can replenish estrogen. In recent years, however, concern over the medical risks associated with traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has led to new, innovative approaches. Crème de la Femme is one of them – because it relieves dryness without relying on hormone additives or unhealthy ingredients.

Made exclusively from natural ingredients, Crème de la Femme can be used as often as you like. Women and men can both use it as a safe, chemical-free sex lubricant. It is also an ideal feminine moisturizer, relieving uncomfortable irritation that comes with vaginal dryness.  Some women apply it externally after bath or shower.  Others use the thin applicator that comes sealed in every box, to apply internally.  Initially, you may want to apply daily, to replenish moisture and stop irritation.  Eventually, you may find that you can use less of the moisturizer, less often.  In addition, most women re-apply before intercourse.  Crème de la Femme is self-cleansing, so it leaves no messy residue and never requires follow-up douching.

Crème de la Femme blends mineral oil with petrolatum, paraffin and ceresin. It remains semi-solid at room temperature. Then the instant it touches warm skin, it melts into silky intimate moisture. Unlike other vaginal lubricants and moisturizers, it contains no alcohol (which only makes dryness worse). No glycerin (which can promote yeast infection). No dyes, artificial flavors, or fragrances (which can lead to urinary tract infection). And no paraben preservatives. All ingredients used in the formula are FDA monographed and registered.

No. Because it is not a drug, Crème de la Femme does not interfere with the action of any prescription drug.  It can be used by women undergoing chemotherapy. It is safe to use while taking birth control pills.  Many women on traditional hormone replacement therapy, and even bio-identical hormones, still combat a degree of vaginal dryness. They can use Crème de la Femme for extra, soothing relief.

No, Crème de la Femme is not compatible with condoms. The product can weaken a condom and make it more likely to break.

Absolutely not! Crème De La Femme has no flavor, so your partner won’t taste anything. Because it’s an oil-based lubricant, it may leave a slightly oily residue sensation. But there is nothing in the product that is dangerous, even if it’s swallowed in small amounts.
