Long-term Lube

About lubrication: Have you used Replens? Did you like it or have any thoughts on using it?
I saw this question but no one really answered the question. I'm not looking for a debate on using this versus the type of lube used "in the moment."

Response by poster: Hmm. I have heard of that being an issue.

Read the customer reviews at drugstore.com -- I found them very informative.

It's better than nothing if you are (surgically or otherwise) post-menopausal. I don't like the applicator, but, as you say, you don't want an in-the-moment lubricant, and there aren't too many options.
However, I'd recommend looking into Vitamin E capsules as well.
There are also (doctor prescribed) creams like Permarin and Estradiol, which can be given as part of HRT, if you find that you have a need for them.

Response by poster: The preference is to avoid estrogen creams for now. And it's not that in-the-moment lubricants aren't an option, I'm just interested in other/additional options.
