Replens MD Vaginal Moisturisers is a hormone-free vaginal moisturiser used in the treatment of vaginal dryness caused by menopause, perimenopause, breastfeeding-related dryness or dryness due to hormonal therapy or other medicines.
Replens MD contains a polymer called “polycarbophil” which binds to the vaginal wall and releases moisture slowly into the vaginal area. This causes ongoing hydration that lasts for 3 days after gel application. Replens MD is designed to be soothing for the vaginal area. It maintains the delicate balance of the genital area while also preserving an adequately acidic pH to prevent bacterial overgrowth in the region.
Replens MD Vaginal gel is not the same as lubricants used during sexual activity; however, the ongoing hydration effect provided by this medication can improve comfort during sex and other daily activities.
Replens MD moisturiser is a non-hormonal, long-lasting moisturiser that is used to relieve vaginal discomfort and vaginal dryness. It restores natural hydration and lubrication to the vaginal tissue.
Replens MD moisturiser can be used in the following circumstances:
Replens MD moisturiser can help treat these conditions and improve the following symptoms:
Replens MD is also a long-acting moisturiser. It lasts up to 3 days per application and is safe for regular and long-term usage.
Replens MD works by providing a long-lasting moisturiser to the vaginal tissues using a biological molecule called “Polycarbophil”.
Polycarbophil is a biological polymer that binds to the vaginal wall and slowly releases moisture over time. Once applied, it has a long-lasting hydration effect. It attracts and holds water, then gradually releases the moisture it has gained into the vaginal wall. This keeps the vaginal lining hydrated for up to 72 hours.
The long-lasting effects of Replens MD make it slightly different in effect from lubricants, which often work instantly and temporarily.
The following is an overview of the dosing and application of Replens MD moisturiser to help maintain vaginal health and wellbeing.
The usual dose of one Replens application is 2.5mg. It is usually applied every 2-3 days to maintain a consistent hydration and moisturisation of the vaginal wall.
If there is major dryness, you may use it more often (every 2 days)
If there is milder/less dryness, you may use it less often ( twice a week)
Below is a rough guide on how to use and apply the Replens MD medication with the applicator:
A pre-filled single-use applicator accompanies each dose. Prepare this device by removing the cap from the tip
Lie on your back or stand with one leg raised
Gently insert the applicator into the vagina as far as is comfortable.
Push the plunger on the applicator to release the full dose of the moisturisers into the vagina
There may be some initial leakage upon moisturiser application (similar to what would be expected from use in a vaginal pessary). Anecdotal reviews suggest that wearing underwear protection overnight or for a few hours can help with this. However, for more help with this, please consult your healthcare provider.

This is because the Replens MD gradually releases moisture into the vaginal tissues and keeps them hydrated for 72 hours (3 days). This ensures that daily use is not needed, and replacing it every 2-3 days helps keep a consistent level of moisture and hydration in the vagina.
For more severe dryness, it can be used and applied more often (every 2 days)
For less severe dryness, it can be used and applied less often (twice a week).
Replens during pregnancy:
Replens MD is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy; however, please check with your healthcare provider first before doing this.
Pregnancy can cause changes in vaginal discharge and sensitivity, and hence it is important to ensure that any irritation you are experiencing is caused by vaginal dryness before using Replens MD.
Replens during breastfeeding:
Replens MD can be and is safe to use during breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding naturally decreases circulating oestrogen levels in the body. This causes vaginal atrophy and dryness. Replens MD is a non-hormonal moisturiser, and hence it can treat this dryness and irritation without causing hormonal imbalances during this time.
Replens MD moisturiser does not interfere with condoms or lubricant use and is considered safe to use with either.
Replens MD is safe to use with all types of condoms, including latex condoms, polyisoprene condoms, and polyurethane condoms. It is a water-based material, so it does not damage or weaken the condoms
Replens MD is also safe to use alongside lubricants. It can be safely used with either water or silicone-based lubricants without interfering with how they work.
Although not a lubricant, Replens MD can feel slippery at first. Hence, it is best not to apply the moisturiser before intercourse. It is best to apply Replens MD at a separate time and to use a regular lubricant if needed before sex.
Replens MD contains a biopolymer called “polycarbophil” which attracts and holds water and moisture next to the vaginal wall and then slowly releases it into the vaginal tissue over a period of 72 hours.
Through this mechanism, the Replens MD moisturiser can maintain hydration and moisture in the vaginal wall over a period of 72 hours with a single dose.
Replens MD moisturiser can be used safely and effectively alongside vaginal oestrogen creams.
Replens MD provides long-lasting moisture and hydration to the vaginal wall and helps relieve symptoms such as dryness and irritation. Vaginal oestrogen creams help treat the underlying cause of dryness and irritation by providing localised oestrogen and rebuilding the vaginal tissue.
Both the Replens MD moisturiser and oestrogen cream work in separate but different ways. They complement each other and do not interfere with each other’s effects.
For the best effects, it’s usually recommended to use the moisturiser and the oestrogen cream at different times of the day (reducing the risk of dilution).
If you are unsure about using both medications alongside each other or are having any vaginal symptoms such as unexplained bleeding, discharge or infection, please speak to your healthcare provider.
Yes, Replens MD rx (vaginal moisturiser) does help with itching and burning, especially when these symptoms are caused by vaginal dryness.
Replens MD helps to hydrate and moisturise the vaginal wall. This increase of natural moisture in and around the wall reduces friction that causes soreness and supports the treatment of any micro-tears. This overall improves comfort and allows up to 72 hours of hydration.
However, there are situations when Replens MD does not help with itching/ burning – this includes itching and burning caused by:
If you have vaginal itching or burning caused by what you suspect is vaginal dryness, and this has not improved with the use of Replens MD, please consult your health-care provider.
Yes, Replens MD cream is safe and effective for long-term use. It is a gentle and non-hormonal vaginal moisturiser, making it safe for use over months or years to treat vaginal dryness.
However, daily use of Replens MD is not required. This moisturiser is designed to provide comfort for up to 72 hours; therefore, daily use is unnecessary. Excessive (daily) use can cause vaginal leakage and sometimes paradoxical extra irritation for people.
The usual recommended frequency for safe Replens MD use is every 2-3 days. Sometimes, if vaginal dryness is more severe, the moisturiser can be used more frequently (every 2 days).
However, if there is persistent vaginal dryness despite continuous (1-2 weeks) Replens MD usage, then please consult your healthcare advisor.
