"So I had no menstruation for 3 months. And I needed a product for dryness so I was reading up on this product so I thought I should buy it very expensive after I started using it 2 Days Later I've been on my menstrual for 2 weeks, after not having one for 3 months and yes I did see clumpy white discharge"

"I bought this product and the lubricant gel . Well even using both together in the same day for sex I experienced pain and bleeding. I paid a lot of money with the hopes of not having painful intercourse. After several attempts in the past year, I am at a loss as to what will work."

"You can easily get compounded hyluronic acid (in a decent size tube) for this- what I do. I use the applicator and some nights I also add in a bit of Ovestin which is estriol and safe to use there. You don't need a script. No issues. I have tried everything else. The Ovestin is prescription and I like that applicator."

"I got a large amount of white clumpy discharge within an hour of using. This residue comes out during sex and all over toys. Such an embarrassing turn off and had to explain what I found out about product so my partner didn’t think I was infectious or something. Will not use again and will notify my gyn so they don’t recommend. So gross! Was hoping it was a long lasting product , and it is in a bad way."

"I’m type 2 diabetic and it causes me to be dry. Tried this 1x and now I feel like something was seriously wrong! Thought I had infection, but it’s a reaction to this stuff. Swollen inside and out, feel raw with burning and urinating is very painful. Will not use again"

"Thought I would try because of vag dryness. On second round notices thick white/grayish discharge on first use and second it has increased it's quite unsettling, but if it's dead cells omg how much more. Now feel slight cramping unsure if it's the product or my cycle. Nothing has changed with the dryness debating if I should continue use."

"Used Replens 6 hours ago and I'm typing this laying in bed in the fetal position in tears with the worst cramps I've ever had in my life. It feels like period cramps but so much worse. The drama of menopause is bad but I'd much rather deal with that than this and I wish I had found this forum prior to spending a decent amount of money on this junk."

"Avoid this stuff at all costs!! I was looking for something to help with dryness and burning caused by perimenopause, I used this twice and had a lot of watery discharge at first. I had sex the following day and afterwards I had brown discharge, I had to insert and remove 3 tampons in a row to pull this stuff out, adding to the discomfort, I then started to get greyish discharge with black specks, burning and cystitis feelings, I feel right back to square 1 with my symptoms which were improving with vagifem, I’m terrified about what I’ve done to my insides!!!"

"I’m in my late 20’s decided to use this product for more comfort during sex. I only used the product twice. It was the worst decision I could have made. Ever since I’ve dealt with cramping, thick white discharge, vaginal irritation, and my period has not been the same. Complex cyst first on the left ovary and on my f/u visit now on the right ovary. This product definitely seems to effect hormones as I had no issues before using it. I’m scared and praying that my body will go back to normal. I would not recommend this product."

"After inserting the cream last night I knew straight away something was wrong, started to panic a bit but just went to bed to try and calm down. This morning I have severe cramps like period pains, and a white discharge, I wish I hadn’t bought this I’m in agony!!! Will portion help?"

"Post menopausal, 4 years since last period. Used a box of pre-filled Replens for less than a month. Had the whitish/yellow discharge others describe. Then, tried the Replens that you fill the provided syringe with. Noticed little specks of brown that I thought was blood. Scared the "blank" out of me. Caused me to panic and search the web, only to find other woman experienced the same post-menopausal. The brown specks/blood discharge should be listed on the label, so that a person doesn't panic. The menopausal anxiety and stress I already have sky-rocketed when I saw blood-like specks. Will stop using product as a result."

"Same experience as the other reviewers. I almost had a heart attack after I wiped and saw lots of thick rubbery white clumps with what looked liked brown dried blood mixed in. I also got slight cramping after applying each time. I only used this about once a week for two months and the discharge happened after the second month - or maybe it got cleaned out when I had my period and I never noticed it. I'm going to be looking for another product as this is not an acceptable option for me anymore!"

"I get intense burning from usage of Replens and bad cramps. My cramps aren't uterine, because I had a hysterectomy years ago, so I know these cramps are actually from the burning inside my vagina which mimics period cramps. These symptoms aren't something someone would expect from a product that is suppose to be helpful. It doesn't work well for my vaginal dryness either. I'm throwing the rest of the box out, which makes me mad because it's way overpriced. I don't trust this product."

"I used this moisturiser because at times intercourse can be painful. It did help however I also experienced the white chunks and had to actually use a douche to flush it all out. The vagina was moisturised but after intercourse with my partner it looked like a yeast infection gone haywire. Would not recommend, replens need to review their ingredients and the consistency."

"I’ve used Replens for several years and have had no problems EXCEPT when the company started using the newer style applicator. It does not have a rounded end and was painful to use and caused bleeding. Fortunately I had saved some of the old, round-end reusable applicators. I am having trouble finding the tube of Replens rather than the pre-filled applicators. I use about half of the recommended amount once or twice a week. Am 24 years past menopause."

"Do not use this product!! I was feeling vaginal dryness and decided to try this product. In about an hour I felt uncomfortable and extremely dry down there with white chunks. Ugh!!! Will not use again."

"I have just come back from a smear test and the nurse pulled out a lump of white discharge which now may have interfered with getting a result. After reading all these other reviews I think it is attributable to Replens which I have been using for a few months. I will not be using it again that’s for sure, but I’m glad I read these reviews so I know the discharge is most probably due to this product, like others though I wish I had read these before using it."

"I’ve tired before didn’t connect the burning with the product until this time. After the third application I felt a burn coming on and over a hour or so got so intense I felt like I had to give birth to a ball of acid. It hurt to urinate like a severe UTI. I have chills and feel like my bladder is spasming. I know it’s not a UTI because I checked my urine. This stuff also, I think, mixes with the normal vaginal secretions and is causing the white clumps that feel like grit almost. I’m not sure if this is a allergic reaction or what but I wouldn’t wish this burning UTI pain on my worse enemy. I’m not sure that using any vaginal gel, cream, etc is healthy as I can see how it would cause a UTI or worse. What’s even worse a NP told me to use it."

"I used this as a way to get rid of the iron smell after my period ended this latest cycle. I read it’s good for clearing odors away. So I used this stuff this morning and what do I have 12 hours later…a ton of white-grey-brown chunky discharge. There’s no way I’m having sex tonight if this is what’s going on down there. This is gross, what did I do to myself?"

"I have persevered with Replens pessaries on and off since menopause for over 5 years. It burns like crazy initially and the pessaries scrape the skin going in. Very painful. This then turns to constant itching. There is momentary relief, having that feeling of lubrication but by the next day it has all fallen out and back to square one again. The pain of insertion puts me off using it as it gives me urinary infections. I've been to about 6 different consultants who said there was nothing wrong with me and I just didn't know where to turn. I have had no relief for nearly 6 years. Going to the toilet is painful and sex is completely out the window."

"In my late 20s- Bought this thinking it would be a better alternative to Estrogen cream, plus the convenience of dosed applications. Used it once, at night. The next day my vagina was drier than a desert and I had to use soap to lubricate my vagina to try to pull out the white chunks everyone else is talking about. Also noticed I had blood tinge discharge but at the time didn't think too much of it-now I see it's clearly common among users after reading these experiences on here! Won't ever use this again!"

"I have been using Replens for a little over a year. It works, but for the first time I ever, I have had an unsatisfactory pap. They were unable to get a satisfactory test due to excessive lubricant. I did not use it for a week prior to my test. Not sure if I will continue with the product."

"Cream comes out of the tube brown and smells very bad. Gone off. Paid $30 for the pack, yet half of the box items can not be used due to the fluid that had gone off, brown, and had a very smell. Horrible."

"It felt moisturizing at the beginning but after a few weeksI got some mild cramps accompanied of a black discharge, I went to see several doctors and they were all shocked cause they found pieces of a black silicone looking substance. The last one try to manually remove it. I got a PAP Smear, two ultrasounds and the took samples to check if I have an infection and they couldn’t find anything. I’m about to get a biopsy and an hysteroscopy just in case. I was so worried till I found all the reviews online. How is even possible that a product like that is on the market and even the doctors are clueless about it."
