You should use vaginal and vulvar moisturizers several times a week for overall vaginal health and comfort. Over-the-counter vaginal and vulvar moisturizers are non-hormonal.

What can I use to moisturize my vulva?

Small amounts of extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil, or solid shortening may be applied to your vulva and vagina as often as needed to protect and moisturize the skin. It also helps to decrease skin irritation during your period, and when you urinate. DO NOT DOUCHE.

Should you moisturize privates?

The short answer is: it depends. If you're not experiencing any dryness, itching, or flaking of the skin, then you likely don't need to apply a moisturizer. In fact, the genital region is typically fairly moist, so in some cases, over-moisturizing could lead to a fungal infection like jock itch.
