Q: How does Sjogren's Syndrome affect my moisturizer and lube choices?

Q: How does Sjogren's Syndrome affect my moisturizer and lube choices?

by Dr. Barb DePree


Sjogren's is an immune system disorder most commonly identified by dry eyes and dry mouth, but vaginal dryness is among the additional symptoms. For a vaginal moisturizer, be sure you're starting with a product designed to be effective for that purpose (and Yes and Emerita are among the favorites we offer). Normally moisturizers are used twice a week, but with a condition like Sjogren's, you may increase that frequency.

For a lubricant, I'd recommend a hybrid or a silicone (like Pink or Uberlube). The silicone lubricant will last longer and feel more slippery, which usually means less discomfort. The hybrid, which has some of the benefits of both water-based and silicone, may be your choice if you use a silicone vibrator. 

You have plenty of options in managing your comfort and Sjogren's! I wish you the best of luck.
