Vaginal dryness can be such a pain! It can cause discomfort during the day and can put a damper on your sex life – and nobody wants that! Many women have sensitive mucosa that can often become inflamed and irritated by the presence of soap. Much like soap can remove oils from your skin and cause irritation and dryness, soap can strip the vulva of its natural oils as the vulva is naturally moist. This can cause significant irritation and it should also be noted that soaps can cause vaginal dryness which may become an issue if one is sexually active. EmpressBody has lots of tips and tricks to help – we’ve even created several products to help you out! We’ve picked three simple tips that you can try out to help get your honey pot flowing and perfect again!
What can cause vaginal dryness?
There are many things that can change your hormone levels and therefore how much vaginal discharge or fluid you produce:
- Menopause
- Breastfeeding
- Contraceptive pills or antidepressants
- Hysterectomy
- Cancer treatments like chemotherapy
Other causes of vaginal dryness can include:
- Using perfumed soaps, washes or douching your vagina
- Underlying conditions like diabetes etc
- If you’re just not that into sex, not being properly stimulated or aroused can have a big effect on the amount of natural lubricant you produce

Our Top Tips:
1. A couple of things to avoid:
- Vaginal douching or using perfumed soaps – this will strip away your natural vaginal flora and upset the balance of your yoni’s pH! This can mean your yoni will be unbalanced and will struggle to right itself.
- Using creams and lotions that aren’t specially designed and formulated for use on or around the vagina; using substances like petroleum jelly can cause infections and again, upset your delicate vaginal pH balance.

2. (It’s the best one) – Take a little more time in the bedroom – get your Foreplay on!
Doing anything that is sexually arousing will help your yoni lubricate itself. For a woman vaginal lubrication is an important part of sexual arousal. It readies the yoni for penetration, making it easier for the penis, fingers or toys to enter and reducing any painful or harmful friction. If you’re finding it difficult to go straight to intercourse due to vaginal dryness, then slow down! Take more time in the bedroom to get aroused!
Touching, hugging, intimacy and closeness are key to feeling more relaxed and sensually stimulated. Taking at least 25 – 45 minutes to get sensually in the mood will help your yoni to get into gear and produce more natural lubrication, but some women produce more natural lubrication than others; as we pointed out earlier, the Empress Yoni Elixir can be used as a lubricant, but you could also try using other types of lubricant to make sure your enjoying the experience fully!
