I use estring and I am moderately ER+ (50%) but PR neg. It helps alot but is not perfect (I had my ovaries removed and I am on Arimidex as well).

All my docs say it is very, very safe. My main reason for using this was bladder infections. I was moderately dry (vaginally) but I could cope with that.

Replens and Rephresh (like Replens but helps balance vaginal pH) is also helpful.
