If you are using a suppository deep inside the vagina, there’s no need to apply the cream internally, as it would be redundant. Instead, apply it externally in areas the suppository cannot reach. If you are not using a suppository, you may apply a small amount of the cream internally, though this may not be necessary. Even when applied externally, the cream can help improve internal moisture.
To relieve vaginal dryness, how can the cream apply on the outside benefit deep inside?
The cream works by creating a moisture barrier and encouraging hydration, which can affect the internal area even when applied externally.
You can use the cream as often as you feel comfortable, but the most effective time to apply it is at bedtime. This allows the cream to remain in place and be absorbed without being wiped away by movement or clothing. If applied during the day, walking or wearing underwear may reduce its effectiveness.
Avoid overapplication. A small amount—about the size of a grain of rice or, at most, a pea—is usually sufficient. Using too much can cause irritation or intolerance.
