I am 60 and have been on HRT patches for two years. The systemic therapy helped enormously with hot flashes and sleep but I still had dryness and occasional odor that the patches did not seem to touch. My doctor explained that systemic HRT does not always fully address local symptoms, particularly in the later stages of menopause.
She suggested adding a local estrogen cream which I found burned quite a lot and I can’t use it. I found Fennelope through this site and have been using it twice a week for three months alongside my patches and it really does help and is lovely to use. The local symptoms that HRT alone had not fixed are now more or less resolved with only small eruptions every now and again.
Worth knowing for anyone already on HRT but still struggling. The two approaches seem to complement each other well and my doctor is happy for me to keep using it if it helps.

Fennelope gave me my confidence back. I’m 58 and the changes from menopause were affecting everything, intimacy, exercise, even just going out with friends. I was constantly worried about smell. This product fixed it. I’ve been using it for 5 months now, twice a week, and I can just live my life again without thinking about it. The blend feels really soothing too, not irritating at all.

I like this product and it does help with the menopausal odour. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the price, I am on a pension and it’s not cheap, since I need to use it ongoing it adds up. But it works and I haven’t found anything else that does, so I keep ordering. The team was lovely when I emailed with questions.

After my hysterectomy the BV started and wouldn’t stop. Two weeks of nightly use and the symptoms cleared. I still use it a couple times a week as prevention and things have stayed stable for 3 months. Very happy.

CAN CONFIRM >> LIFE CHANGING! I am 65 years old and after menopause my vagina was RUINED and I’ve been slowly getting it back together with the help of the lovely naturopaths at My Vagina who recommended this, and a few other products to take. Total game changer. Talk to those women, they are ANGELS!

started using this when i hit menopause at 51. the dryness was really intense.
fennelope was soothing straight away but it did take a few weeks to truly help. i use it twice a week now and sometimes combine it with the prebiotic and a probiotic to stay healthy down there.
the team at my vagina were so helpful in putting together the right products for me. really grateful.

I’m on high dose T, and the changes to my vagina have been one of the hardest parts to accept. It’s SO dry and this constant off smell that makes me so self conscious, I feel so gross. My doctor didn’t have great suggestions beyond estrogen cream which I can’t use. Found Fennelope and it’s hormone-free which was important to me. I was nervous about inserting anything because of how dry and sensitive things are down there but it was actually really comfortable and soothing.
The smell cleared up after about a week and within a few days the dryness was already way better. I use it now whenever I feel a little dry or things seem off and it’s been stable for a couple of months. I feel comfortable with this as a low impact support that doesn’t interfere with my T, and can recommend it wholeheartedly to any other trans men out there who are struggling.

I’m 68 and have been dealing with dryness and odour since menopause. I tried everything from over the counter creams to estrogen pessaries. The team at My Vagina recommended Fennelope, LactoLush and V-Spot, but this Fennelope is the rock star of the show. I use the probiotic in the morning and Fennelope at night one week of every month. Feels like I have my body back.

Perimenopause hit me like a truck. Hot flashes, mood swings, and then the ODOUR started. I was mortified. My GP said it was normal hormonal changes and offered HRT which I didn’t want. Fennelope sorted the odour out within a week but I have to use it half the week and as long as I keep up with it things stay normal. I was hoping for the miracle cures of the other reviewers but it’s not been the case for me. I suppose I need more. I can’t afford to use it every day. The oestrogen cream from the doctor burns me. Do you have any other solutions?

I’m 6 months postpartum and breastfeeding my first baby. The BV started a about 5 or 6 weeks after delivery, but it was super mild and I thought it was just my body healing and would resolve itself. It started with a little bit of an off odour that sort of came and went so I didn’t take it very seriously. At that time my discharge was all over the place anyway so I couldn’t really use that as a marker. Then the smell stopped disappearing and was stronger and more constant.
I had never heard of BV before this, but I used Chatgpt to help me work it out. Chatgpt recommended Fennelope to me, as it aligns with my values (vegan, non-drug).
I only use medication if it is absolutely necessary, so have only tried Fennelope through the My Vagina website and it’s been amazing. I first used it for two weeks every night, to build up the tissue, and now I use it a couple of times a week now as maintenance and the odour is completely gone. So relieved to have something safe while breastfeeding, as I’m hoping to continue until my baby is two years old.

I’m 65 years old and used the Fennelope treatment for two weeks, and then started using lactulose twice or so a week and it really helps, I don’t have any odour or itching anymore.
