Thanks Lani I will investigate and take this to my onc. next week as I have my semi-annual appointment.

Unfortunately Replens does not work for me - in fact it causes burning, stinging irritation. My gyn. told me she's had a few women complain of this same irritation. I use coconut oil 2x/day, and it does help, but if there is something new out there that will be better, I am more than willing to try it. Becky I am also interested in the RepHresh - since it is made by the same company, do you know if it contains the same ingredients? I would hesitate to try it if it does for fear of the same burning issues.

all the best
