Vagisil ProHydrate External Hydrating Gel 30g is a hormone-free moisturising gel for dry, uncomfortable vaginal skin, supplied in a 30g tube. It contains sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) and glycerin and is used as part of a regular intimate care routine. It is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms.

Key Features

• Hormone-free, with no added parabens, dyes or perfumes: The gel contains no hormones, which is useful to know if you are looking for a non-hormonal option for vaginal dryness.
• Contains hyaluronic acid: Sodium hyaluronate, the form of hyaluronic acid used in this gel, is listed alongside glycerin. Vagisil describes hyaluronic acid as a naturally occurring hydrator found in skin.
• External gel: This product is for external use. Vagisil sells a separate ProHydrate Internal Hydrating Gel in pre-filled applicators.
• Compatible with some condoms: Suitable for use with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms.
• Flip-top tube with tamper-resistant seal: The 30g tube has a flip-top cap and a tear-off seal, so you can see whether it has been opened before.

Can I use Vagisil ProHydrate External Hydrating Gel with condoms?

Yes, it is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. The sources do not state compatibility with other condom materials. The gel is not a spermicide and does not protect against pregnancy.

What is the difference between the external and internal ProHydrate gels?

This is the external gel, made for the vaginal skin on the outside. Vagisil ProHydrate Internal Hydrating Gel is a separate product sold as 6 x 5g pre-filled applicators, so check its own pack for directions.

What causes vaginal dryness, and when should I see a GP?

According to the NHS, vaginal dryness can be linked to menopause, pregnancy or breastfeeding, some medicines such as hormonal contraceptives or antidepressants, a hysterectomy, cancer treatments, or underlying conditions such as diabetes. The NHS advises seeing a GP if dryness has lasted a few weeks despite self-care, is affecting your daily life, or comes with unusual discharge, or bleeding after sex, between periods or after the menopause.
