• Estrogen levels collapse after the birth of a child, often causing severe vaginal dryness. They normalize when nursing is terminated.
• The onset of menopause causes estrogen levels to gradually diminish. The vaginal tissue begins to thin out and becomes less elastic. There is less vaginal moisture produced by the body which the woman experiences as vaginal dryness, sensitivity, sometimes itchiness, tenderness or swelling and general discomfort.
• Stress of all kinds causes incidents of vaginal dryness. Statistics prove that 95% of all women suffer from occasional vaginal dryness because of stress or low estrogen days.* Estrogen is produced by the ovaries but it is not produced at even levels. Any woman can have low estrogen days at any time and therefore suddenly experience a lack of available moisture before intimacy.This applies to women of all ages, from l5 to 85.
• Women who suffer from eating disorders often have hormonal imbalance which can result in vaginal dryness.
• Women taking certain medications such as antibiotics can affect hormonal function and moisture production in the vaginal area. Lubrication in the vaginal area is released by two little glands in the vaginal tract called the Bartholon glands, (named after Dr. Bartholon who discovered them) and also through the vaginal walls. However, when there is little moisture available the necessary lubricating fluid is scarce. This can cause irritations and discomfort. It is also proven that women who suffer from vaginal dryness have a higher incident of vaginal infections
• Women athletes or women who excercise extensively often disrupt their hormonal cycle which can result in incidents of vaginal dryness. It is advisable to use a few drops of Very Private ®Intimate Moisture before exercising to keep the tender vaginal tissue protected.
• The Pill and the sponge reduce vaginal moisture
• Any illness such as eating disorders causing hormone imbalance causes vaginal dryness, discomfort and pain during intimacy
• Relationship tension

Vaginal Dryness and Relationship Problems

Often men believe that when a woman is not aroused she no longer is interested in him or doesn't love him anymore. Also, many women who lack moisture before intimacy believe that there is something wrong with them. In most cases both partners have made the wrong conclusion. Non-response in a woman is most often caused by a lack of available vaginal moisture due to low estrogen levels. Estrogen, the primary female hormone which is created by the ovaries varies throughout the life of a woman. Estrogen levels are extremely low right after the birth of a child, they gradually diminish as the women enters menopause until the ovaries stop producing estrogen when she is finished with menopause. But there are other reasons for dryness: above all stress. Statistics tell us that 95% of all sexually active women have occasional symptoms of vaginal dryness due to stress.

Over l4 million women in the US have had chemotherapy which often causes severe dryness , especially if the pelvic region is involved. Hormone production can be severely affected and consequently cause a reduction in moisture, especially in the vaginal area. Consequently, intimacy can become very uncomfortable, even painful. Many women who have abstained from intimacy because of severe discomfort have been treated with Very Private® Intimate Moisture and been able to resume a normal intimate sexual life again. Very Private® is completely safe, all ingredients are inactive. It has been tested and approved by gynecologists and used by thousands of women to relieve vaginal dryness instantly and enhance the pleasure of intimacy.

l 2.5 million women in the US have had hysterectomies and/or their ovaries removed. Without ovaries there is no estrogen production and vaginal dryness can be very severe causing discomfort, pain, even bleeding during intimacy. In many cases, these women cannot take any estrogen replacement therapy because of heightened cancer risks. Many women having had a hysterectomy and/or their ovaries removed use Very Private® Intimate Moisture and feel no discomfort at all during intimacy. In fact, many report that Very Private® is as natural as their own body moisture used to be. Neither they nor their partners can feel a difference because the product is a "virtual" duplication of a woman's own moisture. It has no scent, no taste, is totally transparent and leaves no residue.

DO WOMEN WANT TO IMPROVE INTIMACY?

More than 54% of all sexually active women in the United States express a desire to improve sexual performance. With approximately 73 million sexually active women between the ages of l8 and 75, this equates to a target market of over 39 million women ready to find the products that will enhance their intimate lives.

Data from the Gallup Survey l990 also indicates a high level of interest in improving sexual performance and enjoyment among married couples:

- 53%: sex is important in holding marriage together

- 51%: try to make love life romantic

- 48%: playful when alone together

- 45%: Moral about sex

- 39%: efforts to improve sex life

- 28%: mutual back rubs or massages

- 27%: wish they were more confident lovers

- 26%: abandon all sexual inhibitions

VERY PRIVATE® Intimate Moisture enhances the pleasure of intimacy. Couples use it on each other. A recent test with 75 married and unmarried couples showed that 73 out of 75 men like VERY PRIVATE® and encouraged their partner to continue using it.

There are 47 million women ages l8 to 39 and 26 million women ages 40 to 75 who are sexually active, for a total of 73 million sexually active women. What do they have in common? Stress, and two little glands located in the vagina called "Bartholon" glands named after Dr. Bartholon who discovered them. They have but one function: to release moisture when the body needs it, before intimacy. The glands get their signal from the brain. However, it is extremely common among all women that these little glands dysfunction at times. It is estimated that 95% of all sexually active women have occasional dysfunction. This is due to conditions of stress and/or tension such as relationship tension, financial/business stress or just modern day life stress. Often such incidents lead to increased concerns that "it will happen again." Stress dysfunction is more prevalent in younger women. VERY PRIVATE® Intimate Moisture relieves stress dryness instantly and makes the user feel relaxed and ready to enjoy the intimate experience.

9 Ibid, U.S. Census; National Opinion Research Center 1992 Study. Why can hormone imbalance affect lovemaking negatively?

Estrogen, which is the principal female hormone, is produced by the ovaries.

Moisture in the vaginal area is controlled by the production of estrogen.

The fact is that hormone levels change throughout the monthly cycle and throughout the life of a woman. Consequently, when estrogen levels are low, there is less moisturization in the vaginal area. This is the reason why virtually all women experience incidents of vaginal dryness no matter what their age. While the symptoms are distressing, uncomfortable, even painful and can lead to tension and misunderstandings between partners, they can easily be remedied.

Very Private® Intimate Moisture instantly relieves vaginal dryness and feels so natural, like a woman's own moisture. Just a few drops after washing and before intimacy can solve the problem.

There are certain times when vaginal dryness is most likely to occur:

. After childbirth and during nursing

. Before, during and after menopause when estrogen production begins to taper off. 41 million women are in the menopause years. After menopause, the ovaries no longer produce estrogen.

. Excessive exercising can interfere with hormone production and cause dryness.

. Eating disorders cause hormone irregularities and cause dryness.

. Women who've had a hysterectomy (removal of ovaries, l2 million) often suffer from severe dryness.

. Women who've been on chemotherapy (l4.5 million) often have severe dryness.

. Women on "The Pill or The Sponge" may experience "loss of moisture".

. Women taking antibiotics which destroy the lacto bacilli in the vagina thereby reducing moisture production.

. Sensitivity to chemicals contained in bath additives, harsh soaps or general body cleansing washes can cause vaginitis which often causes dryness.

Very Private® Body Wash is pH balanced to the skin in the intimate area. It is extremely mild and soothing, never drying, and can be used all over the body for cleansing and conditioning the skin.

This dermatologist recommended formula is fragrance free and contains an anti-bacterial to help protect against vaginal irritations and infections.

For Men Only:

If your partner doesn't produce the necessary lubrication before or during foreplay, relax, it may have nothing to do with your sexual talents. It just might be that her hormone levels are out of balance and not enough moisture is generated by her body. Saliva isn't the perfect answer.

VERY PRIVATE® Intimate Moisture relieves vaginal dryness instantly, lasts longer, feels smoother and really enhances the pleasures of intimacy in many ways. You can use VERY PRIVATE® safely with your condom.  In fact, it makes the "condom experience" more natural and more enjoyable. If you really enjoy prolonged sexual activity it is advisable to use VERY PRIVATE® moisturizer even if your partner has enough natural lubrication. VERY PRIVATE® helps to avoid redness, swelling of tissue and irritation which often happens to either partner during intense and prolonged sex. Because VERY PRIVATE® has no scent and no taste, it will not restrict any sexual preferences, including oral sex. Other lubricants are much more limiting because they contain medicinal or other ingredients that are not compatible with oral sex.

Many women have shared with us that they really appreciated it when their partners were thoughtful enough to help them over their "dryness" problem with VERY PRIVATE®. They loved being massaged with the moisture and they loved using it on their men. One women wrote to us that her partner brought her VERY PRIVATE® instead of flowers because he had noticed that she had a little dryness problem. As you can see, women appreciate if you're thoughtful and help them out, even if her problem is a little sensitive.

Could it be my age?

The cause for occasional vaginal dryness is most often stress. 95% of all sexually active women have occasional stress dysfunction. Here's why. During the arousal stage the brain sends a signal to the vaginal walls and two little glands located in the vagina to release moisture. Under stress, the signal often misfires and is unable to deliver its message. Consequently, there is no response in the intimate area. Just keep your intimate area moisture nearby to get things going. And a little relaxation over a glass of wine, some wonderful music will also help to get your thoughts refocused on private time rather than public pressures.

Help!

It's real simple. A few drops of intimate moisturizer before and after intimacy will do the trick. Be sure the product you choose is pH balanced and hypoallergenic. And avoid washing with alkaline soaps or acidic products, they will add to the irritation. Vaginal tissue, as we get older, gets thinner and more delicate just like the skin on your face. You need a little extra moisture in the intimate area everyday, after washing and before intimacy.

Help for Husband

Great intimacy, whether it's physical or sexual, is based on open communication and that seems to be lacking between the two of you. Talk to your wife even if it feels a little awkward at first, discuss your needs and listen to hers. Lack of clarity between people leads to misunderstandings or worse. Communicating is the first step to solving a problem whether it is emotional or physical. Did you know that many women in their mid-life years suffer from vaginal dryness which causes discomfort or even pain during intimacy? Maybe that's your wife's condition. An intimate moisturizer can instantly solve this problem. When lovemaking is not as fulfilling as it could be someone has to take the first step and talk.

Soreness after Intercourse

As we age the skin in our vagina literally becomes thinner and less elastic, therefore more delicate. It is advisable to always use an intimate moisturizer before intercourse to protect the tender tissue. After intercourse it is advisable for women to urinate and wash with plenty of water. Be conscious of the foods you eat that tend to cause irritations such as very spicy or very acidic foods. On the other hand, cranberry juice (get the non-sweetened concentrate and mix it with water) seems to be a natural protector against bladder irritations and infections. If the discomfort continues, be sure to see your doctor.

Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness is a very common condition that 95% of all women experience at some time in their lives. It is primarily a result of changing hormone levels. When e estrogen levels go down, so does the moisture supply, especially in your intimate area. Many conditions cause lower estrogen levels during menopause and after estrogen levels diminish gradually. Eating disorders, excessive exercising, stress and medical procedures such as hysterectomies and chemotherapy affect estrogen production substantially and bring on vaginal dryness which can be very uncomfortable, even painful and raise havoc in relationships. However, it can be treated simply and relieved instantly with an appropriate vaginal moisturizer. But like all moisturizers for the face or the intimate area, these are not drugs that cure dryness, they relieve dryness and must be used daily after you wash and/or before intimacy. And they should be pH balanced for safety.

Rashes and Itches

Many women develop rashes, itching or more serious skin irritations by using harsh or inappropriate cleansing products for their body or intimate area. If the skin feels taut, itchy or red and irritated after using a certain product, it is giving you the message to stop using it. Everybody's skin has a particular pH. It is important to understand that the pH (the balance between alkaline and acidity) is part of protecting the health of your skin. Inside your vaginal area the pH is about 4.7. In the intimate area outside the vagina it is about 5.5. If you use products that are too alkaline such as many soaps are, or too acidic and many scented bubble baths or body washes can be, you risk destroying the normal pH range. To be on the safe side, use a mild, pH balanced product. Millions of women get yeast infections. However, as any gynecologist will tell you they never see yeast infections if the pH inside the vagina is normal, only when it is out of balance. Think of the pH as skin guards that help protect you. Avoid scented bath additives, douches, alkaline soaps or any product that gives you an unpleasant reaction. If you cannot find a "safe" pH balanced product to cleanse with, it is preferable to simply use lots of water.

Dear Very Private:

My experience with your product VERY PRIVATE Intimate Moisture has been excellent. I far prefer the product to KY-Jelly and other gel-type lubricants because it is a great deal more natural and leaves no residue. In fact, it is the closest thing to a woman's own natural moisture. Jacqui, you really have a great product that addresses the needs of most mature women.

I have recommended VERY PRIVATE to many of my patients suffering from vaginal dryness because the product is safe and instantly restores moisturization. My patients report that they are very satisfied with the product because it works instantly and feels so completely natural.

Sincerely, Richard W. Bank, MD FACOG

Dear Very Private:

As a practicing gynecologist, I have used Very Private Intimate moisturizer and body wash with my patients for the past year and have been very pleased with the products. The intimate moisturizer works much better than any vaginal lubricant on the market. It lasts longer and does not become gummy; in short, it is more like the bodies own natural lubrication. The body wash has worked well also being a gentle cleanser.

In the many patients who have used the product, I have had no allergic reactions, or complaints - even in those with chronic allergic skin problems. In fact they all seem to be reordering more when their supply runs out.

In general, I have found the Very Private moisturizer and body wash very helpful at many times in a woman's life when vaginal dryness is a big problem: after childbirth, after and around the menopause, while on the birth control pill, after many cancer treatments.

I have no problem highly recommending Very Private to other physicians and patients, It has been very helpful to me in my gynecologic practice.

Sincerely, Daryl Alexander, MD. Gynecologist

Dear Very Private:

For myself, as well as my patients, Very Private Moisturizing Lubricant has greatly enhanced intimacy during these "middle years". This product takes all the pressure away from those special times, and allows for greater comfort and relaxation.

It's wonderful to know I can count on Very Private products to increase the pleasure and enjoyment of being close.

Warm regards,

Dear Very Private:

Thank you very much for the trial bottles of "Very Private" moisturizing lubricant.

I am a practicing internist and have used it for sigmoidoscopies, colonoscopies and for rectal and vaginal examinations to minimize the discomfort of these, not very pleasant, examinations.

I would have to compare it with the previously used, thicker, more viscous lubricants in its relative effectiveness and acceptance.

I have found that it is smoother, certainly less irritating, and much easier to clean the examined part after the examination. Even a small amount of plain water will remove it, whereas, with the thicker lubricants the tendency is for them to stay longer and are, therefore, more difficult to remove, and, I think, less comfortable for the patient.

As for its value as a lubricant, I have, thus, found that it is in every way a superior product.

I can recommend it highly, and thank you again for introducing me to this new and valuable assistant for examining the interior parts of the body.

Sincerely yours,

Gerald W. Labiner MD., F.A.C.P.
