For Dyspareunia "Fabulous! Within two weeks, this completely changed everything back to normal. This also helped hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep! I’m so thankful! 10/10. I used the manufacturer's coupon to get it to $87 per month."

For Dyspareunia "Started using alongside Estrogel, Prometrium, and Androfemme for urinary frequency and urgency, vaginal atrophy, and bowel health. Found Intrarosa to be the missing link for my insomnia, which has been severe and affecting my quality of life. It also improved my urinary issues. Sadly, I’m experiencing a sore mouth while using. I’m devastated as it’s been a huge benefit sleep-wise, which is life-changing. I may see if the symptoms decrease or try using a half dose like a previous review mentioned."

For Dyspareunia "Only took it for a few weeks. Can't say if it really works. Half of the product is lost in the first 30 minutes, no matter how far I try to insert it. Somebody here suggested to cut it in half, might be a good solution. Horrible smell, unfortunately. Also, it says to throw away the applicator after use, but there are only 4 items in the box! Not sure I'm gonna continue. Especially after reading the negative comments."

For Dyspareunia "I tried this for vulvodynia. Only one dose and my bladder is going nuts. I feel like I have to pee, burning worse, and cramping like I’m about to birth a child. Not the solution for me."

For Dyspareunia "I was so optimistic about this product helping with vaginal dryness and intimacy. It has left me with weight gain, making me look bulky, edginess, and chronic back pain."

"Seemed to improve atrophy in the first month - 6 wks, but my VA has returned along with urinary issues. I am switching back to Vagifem. Also, Intrarosa was very messy!"

For Dyspareunia "I’ve been using Intrarosa for quite some time. For the same reasons the other readers commented, like burning during sexual intercourse! The product works great, however, I swear every time I have to unwrap the suppository, I curse at how bad the packaging is. I actually use a pair of long-tip pliers to help me peel the plastic wrapper. I would seriously like to have the marketing and production team each try to unwrap a suppository and get their feedback on how they would make this product easier to unwrap! I can’t imagine someone with arthritis in their fingers or cream on their hands prior to peeling the wrapper… impossible! As for the applicator, I would suggest less in a package, six is too much. I would suggest a product packaging revision, a total must, so I would rate the packaging a 1/10."
