Vaginal dryness is one of the most common changes women experience during perimenopause and menopause. For many, this dryness can lead to discomfort during everyday activities — and even make intimacy feel painful or less enjoyable.
While these changes are completely normal, women often look for gentle, non-hormonal ways to support moisture, comfort, and overall vaginal wellness.
Two of the most popular options are Hyaluronic Acid (HA) vaginal inserts and Vitamin E suppositories — simple, clean formulas designed to help hydrate, soothe, and support vaginal comfort from the inside out.
Why Dryness Happens During Menopause
As estrogen levels naturally shift, the vaginal walls produce less natural moisture. This can lead to:
- Vaginal dryness
- A feeling of tightness
- Increased friction during intimacy
- Occasional itching or irritation
- A general feeling of discomfort
Many women use moisturizers and suppositories to help support hydration and softness — especially those who prefer non-hormonal solutions.
What Are Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Vaginal Inserts?
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring molecule known for its ability to hold moisture.
In vaginal inserts, HA helps:
- Support hydration
- Promote a smoother, more comfortable feel
- Reduce dryness-related irritation
- Enhance everyday vaginal comfort
HA is widely used in skincare for its moisture-retaining properties, and many women find similar benefits when used vaginally.
What Are Vitamin E Vaginal Suppositories?
Vitamin E is known for being soothing, moisturizing, and nourishing to delicate skin.
As a vaginal suppository, Vitamin E can help:
- Support moisture levels
- Soothe delicate tissue
- Promote softness and elasticity
- Add comfort during intimacy
Many women love Vitamin E as part of a routine that helps with dryness, especially during perimenopause and menopause.
HA vs. Vitamin E — What’s the Difference?
Both are great options, but they support vaginal wellness in slightly different ways:
|

HA Inserts |
Vitamin E Suppositories |

Using HA and Vitamin E Together
When used together (not at the same time, but alternating), they can offer a well-rounded approach to vaginal wellness:
- HA for deep hydration
- Vitamin E for softness and calming comfort
A common routine many women use is:
HA Insert 2–3 nights per week + Vitamin E insert 1–2 nights per week
(Always follow product guidelines and consult your provider for personalized advice.)
How These Inserts Support Comfort During Intimacy
For many menopausal women, dryness creates friction and makes intercourse feel uncomfortable or even painful.
While these inserts are not treatments or medical solutions, women often report feeling:
- More naturally hydrated
- Softer and more flexible
- Less friction
- Greater comfort during intimacy
- More confident in their body
Supporting moisture can make a meaningful difference in how comfortable intimacy feels.
How to Use HA Inserts & Vitamin E Safely
- Insert vaginally only
- Use at night for best absorption
- Expect mild moisturizing discharge
- Stay consistent for best results
- Avoid use if pregnant unless advised by a doctor
- Speak with a provider if dryness is severe or persistent
