Experiencing the exact opposite
of vaginal dryness.

Dear Jacqui,
have been experiencing the exact opposite of vaginal dryness. Whenever I get turned on I become so wet that I occasionally can't even feel what my husband is doing. It is a problem for him as well. Is there anything I can do?
Shannon

Dear Shannon,
Your symptom is shared by quite a few women. Overproduction of intimate moisture is connected to the hormonal activities in a woman's body which to a large degree control's vaginal moisture. Are you on "the pill" or any other medication that can cause this effect? I suggest you see your gynecologist and have your hormone levels checked. It is possible to regulate overproduction of moisture through medication, in some rare cases a surgical procedure is required, but as I said, this is very rare.

A little tip to reduce vaginal moisture is to wash before lovemaking to remove some of the lubrication. However, do not use soap which tends to be too aggressive for the skin in this delicate area of the body. A pH balanced body wash such as Very Private is safer and far milder.
