Menopause Changes Everything — Even Your Vulva

When we think of menopause, hot flashes and mood swings often come to mind. But did you know that menopause also affects your vulva and vagina?

As estrogen levels drop, the skin of the vulva becomes thinner, drier, and much more sensitive. The natural balance of the vaginal microbiome also shifts, making infections like yeast or bacterial vaginosis more common. Everyday things that once felt fine — such as foaming washes, sex, swimming in pools or the ocean, or wearing tight clothes — can suddenly trigger irritation or even infections.

Why gentle, oil-based care matters

Traditional soaps and foaming cleansers strip the skin of its natural oils and disrupt its pH and microbiome. During menopause, this balance is already vulnerable — and harsh cleansers only make it worse. Oil-based products cleanse without drying and help support the skin’s natural barrier, pH, and microbiome.

How to support vulva health in menopause

  • Choose oil-based cleansers that keep the skin moisturised and protected.

  • Moisturise daily to help prevent dryness, itching, and irritation.

  • Use gentle lubricants that nourish while providing comfort during intimacy.
