Top Vibrators for Women in Menopause
This post contains affiliate links
Fortunately, the days when we didn’t talk about sex, pleasure, and orgasms are in the rearview mirror. A new revolution is upon us. Sexual wellness is a hot topic, and, for once, midlife women are not being left out of the conversation. This is particularly important because of the sexual changes women experience during menopause, including low libido, vaginal dryness, and pain during sex. These symptoms and others are collectively referred to as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause or GSM. Sadly, few women discuss GSM symptoms with their clinician and often assume nothing can be done, suffering in silence or putting their sex life on hold indefinitely. In fact, there are many options to help women reclaim a healthy sex life.
Vaginal lubricants and moisturizers are often the first lines of treatment for vaginal dryness and pain during sex. However, vibrators and dildos can help with these problems too, and low libido as well. Apart from the pleasure vibrators and dildos offer, they have therapeutic benefits for menopausal women. These devices can help with arousal and orgasm issues that many women experience as they age. Vibrators can increase blood flow to the genitals and create more vaginal moisture, leading to better and less painful sex. Some vibrators even come with companion apps showing your orgasm patterns. You’ll learn about your unique sexual response while giving your partner (if you have one) tips about what you like.
Often, sex toys and therapeutic devices are paired with lubricants. This pairing is essential for menopausal women who have vaginal dryness. You want your experience to be frictionless. However, it’s critical to ensure your lubricant is compatible with your device of choice. Devices usually come with instructions for appropriate lubricants. If you need help understanding the various lube options and application tips, check out our guide to using personal lubricants.
Top Vibrators
We’ve rounded up some of the top devices on the market. If you’ve never used any devices in the bedroom for pleasure or therapeutic use, you may feel self-conscious initially. If it helps, think about your foray into this world as a new adventure, solving a medical issue, or both. If you have a partner, have a conversation and talk about why you want to introduce a device into your relationship. Seeing a sex therapist may also be beneficial.
