Re: pH Balanced Gel for atrophic vaginitis in bc survivors

Caya

You'd have to check the box but I have the same problem as you with Replens. I bought the RepHresh a few years ago and had the same problem. I think it is the propylene glycols or surfactants used in such products but it may also be another common ingredient used in these formulations.

So.... I had the same burning problem with RepHresh as I did with Replens (which is a really "too bad" problem to have) as this is rare in general. I am saying that because these products are of great value to most women and I want to state this here because most women do not have this problem.
