Vaginal Wellness Beyond Menopause: What You Need to Know

Let’s talk about something many women silently experience—but rarely discuss: vaginal changes during and after menopause. Hormonal shifts can lead to dryness, irritation, thinning tissues, discomfort during intimacy, and even urinary changes. The good news? You're not alone—and there are effective, non-invasive ways to reclaim comfort, confidence, and vitality in this intimate area of your life.

What Happens & Why It Matters

As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, the vaginal walls can lose elasticity, moisture, and thickness. This can result in a condition called genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM)—a common but under-discussed issue. Left unaddressed, these symptoms can interfere with quality of life, relationships, and self-esteem.

Meet the VFit Plus by Joylux

One at-home device making a major difference for women is the VFit Plus by Joylux. It’s a non-hormonal, FDA-cleared wellness device that uses red light (LED), gentle heat, and sonic technology to support vaginal tissue health, improve natural hydration, and enhance sensation and tone. It’s easy to use, discreet, and backed by OB/GYNs as a safe option for daily or weekly maintenance.

Consider a Vaginal Coach

Yes, they exist—and yes, they’re incredibly helpful. A certified vaginal or pelvic floor coach can guide you through exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and rectum. This isn’t just about Kegels—it’s about personalized training for your unique needs, including posture, breathing, and muscle awareness. Regular sessions can help with everything from incontinence and prolapse prevention to enhanced sexual satisfaction.

Exercise for Intimate Strength

Simple, targeted exercises can do wonders. Incorporate:

• Kegels (if done correctly!)

• Deep core breathing

• Pelvic tilts and bridges

• Stretching and relaxation for fascia release

Consistency is key, and guidance from a coach can ensure you're activating the right muscles.
