Replens (emollients) "I used replens vaginal moisturisor a day before sex (once every couple of weeks) in addition to once a week post menopausal application of estrace cream, I've had no problem with replens and good results. Replens content is mostly oils. Much better than vaginal lubricants! Im wondering why women are having problems."

Replens (emollients) "Oh my! I wish I’d read the reviews and comments on here first before buying and using Replens. I was actually frightened I’d left a tampon up my vg there is that much white clumps coming out, to the point I’ve had to insert my fingers and scoop it out . Until I’d read this I was about to make an appointment at my drs . Surely this isn’t right"

Replens (emollients) "I was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Thankfully early stages and surgery was 100% effective. I was researching what products to use to prevent issues with surgical menopause (dryness without using hormones). Replens was highly recommended. I knew about the side effects (white residue from dead cells). It became a sort of a turn off for your partner after sex. (or using toys covered in the white stuff) I switched to Aloe Cadabra. I stopped using Replens for at least 2 weeks, maybe more. It wasn't discharge I found! No odor or itching, but a large amount of white clumps. Like wet toilet paper. I am more disturbed it WASN'T discharge. Not sure if/how it was going to exit or if it would have caused issues if not removed. Still gross! I am not going to use this product again. If Aloe Cadabra doesn't work, I will continue to look for other options."

Replens (emollients) "I have used this 4 times this month because I can not use Estrogen my Dr. suggested as an alternative. There was a thick white substance build up inside yuck. I quickly cleansed everything and will not be using this product again. It was very expensive and a waste of time. Sorry nothing good to say about this product."

Replens (emollients) "I started using it to combat dryness. Took one dose, after a day, I started seeing the wet tissue like discharge and then the cramping started! I have an iud so assumed it was that causing the cramping but I was wrong. Few hours after the cramping, bleeding started. It was a dark-ish colour and was very scary. I haven’t bled in over a year so what was bleeding? I had to see my doctor who was also confused as to why that happened. Couldn’t even have sex which was the whole point! Possibly this medicine."

Replens (emollients) "After feeling like I had a constant yeast infection, and irritation after sex....I realized it was dryness. I'm 43, had a hysterectomy 6 years ago and suffer from Sjogren's syndrome. I tried replens. The first dose....I had huge,white clumps that looked like wet toilet paper. Thought the second dose would be better. It wasn't. 2 weeks later and I noticed blood clots and bloody discharge. Feels like I have a period again. Will not use again."

Replens (emollients) "I used 1/2 a dose the first time. ended up at MD with yeast infection and BV. Stay away. It has mineral oil and glycerin. Lesson learned. I should give my medical bill to the company. I am going to return if I can for sure."

Replens (emollients) "This stuff has totally changed my life it works so well I was in such discomfort and my sex life was going down the drain after my hysterectomy it works amazing and truly does last 3 days for me that is the only down side was the discharge at 1st but it gets better"

Replens (emollients) "Decided to try this product as it is estrogen free. After my 1st dosage it burned the next morning I went to the bathroom while wiping myself there was a tinge of light pink on the paper. Needless to say I will not b using a second dose. I was hoping for a solution to this problem but this is not going to b it."

Replens (emollients) "Really interesting to read these reviews. I’ve been using it for the last few weeks, every 3 days. I’m loathing the white tissuey discharge, which as others have said, you literally need to scrape out yourself. The sight of it on my partner after having sex, mortifying. I’ve also had burning & awful, cervical cramping and shooting pains, far worse than during a period and some brown discharge. I’ve been blaming it on an endometrial biopsy I had a month ago, yet the cramping symptoms are repeatedly clearing by day 3, but coming back with a vengeance as soon as I use the product. I’m giving up, which is such a shame, as it gives a midcycle, ovulatory-feeling discharge, but every day."

Replens (emollients) "Used for menopausal drying of the vagina. I wish I'd read the reviews beforehand. Unfortunately the copious thick white lumpy discharge was discovered by my partner during sex. I was totally mortified. Terrible damaging experience. I would not recommend this product to anyone."

Replens (emollients) "I too wish I had read these posts! I started taking Replens on the advice of GP at the same time I was taking antibiotics for a UTI. Two day after I finished the antibiotics I used another dose of the Replens( every 3 day dosage) and felt cramping and bloated. The next day I had vaginal itching . The following day I experienced itching and burning so I thought it was a yeast infection due to antibiotic use (even though I took probiotics). So I used an over the counter yeast medication. But still having the cramping, also the brown discharge and now white discharge. Will see MD if doesn’t go away. Had taken 4 doses of Replens."

Replens (emollients) "I've been experiencing a lot of dryness and tearing, especially since my hysterectomy, and was recommended this to combat my symptoms; the side effects aren't really worth it, though. The discharge I can understand, but after a few uses, it feels like any irritation I had is just getting worse. It stings when I put anything in my vagina now, and since I also tried to use it externally, my vulva has been itching and burning for days. I wanted to be patient and see how I'd fare after a few more doses, but things just keep going downhill, so I'm going to find another product instead. Replens does help with dryness, but that's the only good thing I think I can say about it."

Replens (emollients) "Started bleeding after 2nd application. I'm 55 and haven't had a period for 5 years. Bleeding hasn't stopped yet and neither has the burning. I've made a doctor appointment, it's that bad. This stuff needs to be pulled. I hope the effects can be reversed."

Replens (emollients) "I’m so glad to have found that others have had issues with this. It came highly recommended. I’m only 34 but have had a full hysterectomy due to uterine cancer. Each time I have tried using this stuff to treat vaginal dryness, it BURNS. Not sure a little sting, it feels like an acid burn for a good hour or so. After using it this last time, I’ve developed an infection and discharge, which I’ve never had before. I’ll definitely be discontinuing use of this."

Replens (emollients) "I've been using it for about three weeks. Extreme vaginal dryness and itching after hysterectomy over a year ago. Tried monostat and KY with no success. This seems to be helping. I have noticed the white discharge which is likely just the replens coming out. My husband and I are not bothered by it since it is safe to use with intercourse. We'd rather deal with a little of it than the dryness and itching. Usually by the second night (using every three days) I begin to notice a little itching returning. Yesterday it was increased so I tried replens again after only two days instead of three. Package says use as needed so I did. I immediately noticed red blood on the applicator and when I wiped. I have nothing to bleed. I've had a hysterectomy and top of vagina sewed shut. Then the brown chunks. I'm assuming it's the dead skin cells coming off. I've had no discomfort and will continue to use for now unless the bleeding continues. Then I will see obgyn. This product has made my life comfortable"

Replens (emollients) "Reading the comments here makes me feel lucky it works for me. I am 69 and use it every 2/3 weeks before sleep. Occasionally I get 20 minutes of a burning sensation, probably because I've left it too long between applications, but, thankfully no bleeding."

Replens (emollients) "I have experienced the following: 1st application thought I was getting a UTI; second application pelvic cramping as if I was getting a period, soreness; 3rd application cramping soreness, needing the loo more often (as if I was getting a UTI) and some blood after peeing when I wiped. I had a hysterectomy over 20 years ago and my Gynae recommended Replens for soreness and dryness. The solution is worse than the problem for me. In fact, if I hadn't been to get a Gynae check 6 weeks previously I would have worried that something was seriously wrong. Product manufacturers need to warn more openly about all the possible side effects that so many women seem to be experiencing."

Replens (emollients) "I have used the replens disposable applicator version and had no problem. Recently bought what I thought was the same product but it turned out to be a tube of moisturizer with a separate applicator. Second use and I find brown clumps and a little pink in the discharge and I'm sore inside. Going back to using Bezwecken ovals. They aren't perfect but they don't cause bleeding and soreness."

Replens (emollients) "Really unpleasant product that leaves chunks of white material inside of you. I had to manually remove them. I did not feel it moisturised, in fact, I felt the chalky deposits may have caused further dryness. I don't understand how this is on the shelves? Awful!"

Replens (emollients) "I just began using Replens, with first and second days use I did not feel cramping, bloody/brown show etc. Several weeks later with third use bingo, I experienced: bloating, cramping, blood/brown show. Today after yesterdays application, I am still bloated and have cramping. I am seventy one and not on any kind of medicine, so nothing has interfering with the product. I hope all who experienced side effects called the company, they need to know your experience. What's happening isn't right and they need to know."

Replens (emollients) "It burned pretty bad first time I used Replens. I also tried prescription Imvexxy and it burned. I’m now trying hormone pellets and a hormone cream because I cannot have intercourse because that burns too. I am so frustrated. I can see why women give up intercourse. I won’t be using the Replens again."

Replens (emollients) "I am so glad to hear that I am not alone in my negative experience of this product. I thought it might help me enjoy sex with my husband again after menopausal dryness and it did at first (I used it for just over a month) but then I got a uti. Antibiotics took away the infection, but not the pain on urinating, which sometimes lasted for a long time after. Then on the 5th use, when my husband and I had sex, it was uncomfortable for me and so we stopped. When he withdrew he had these white clumps on him which came from me. The white clumpy discharge continued so I had a thrush treatment, which didn't work. Found out that replens MD can cause these symptoms. I stopped using two weeks ago. Clumpiness stopped within days, still having pain on weeing but it is lessening in severity and frequency, so hopefully will go completely now I'm not using this stuff. I definitely would not recommend it."

Replens (emollients) "I wish I had read this prior to buying 2 tubes of Replens. I have cancer and cannot use estrogen creams. This came highly recommended but wow the results. Same as everyone else white wet tissue discharge. So embarrassing. This should not be on the market. There was not one favorable comment on this site."
