How To Use Intimate Gel

Let's talk about intimate hygiene — it's super important for your health. A gentle lubricating gel can make all the difference, providing comfort during tampon insertion, or when experiencing vulval dryness.

Intimate lubricating gel can be a game-changer for your comfort and health. It helps with the smooth insertion of tampons and applicators, making period care easier and more comfortable. Plus, it’s a fantastic solution for vulval dryness, especially during perimenopause and menopause, ensuring you feel comfortable throughout the day.

Our Lil-Lets Intimate Care Lubricating Gel is formulated to complement the natural pH of the intimate area. Designed with you in mind, this water-based, pH-balanced formula tested by gynaecologist is also probiotic, fragrance-free and cruelty-free. Perfect for the insertion of tampons and other period care products on your lighter flow days, or if you find inserting a tampon tricky!

And for those who experience vulval dryness due to hormonal changes, menopause, medication, or stress. Lubricating gels can help alleviate this issue by providing additional moisture to the vulva.

Lubricating gel for menopause

As oestrogen levels decline during the perimenopause, the natural lubrication of the vagina decreases, often leading to discomfort, irritation, and pain during intimacy or everyday activities.

A lubricating gel can be particularly beneficial during, or prior to menopause when vaginal and vulval dryness becomes a common concern.


Our lubricating gel provides much-needed moisture, helping to alleviate these symptoms and enhance comfort. Apply a small amount of gel to the external vaginal area and reapply as needed.
