Sex and the Dry Vagina

Have you heard of orgasmic dysfunction? Me neither. It can happen when vaginal dryness gets in the way of climax--and that loss of hydration is directly related to ebbing hormones. (Estrogen correlates to our collagen production.) LaMaria's Carioca feminine moisturizer ($75) is not a lubricant. It's a light cream that's rich in phytoestrogens (or plant-based compounds that mimic estrogen) to restore moisture to your lady part. Formulated by Brazilian-American OB/GYN Dr. Manuela Maria Vazquez, the LaMaria line includes a facial cream called Mineira ($158) that replenishes waning hyaluronic acid and collagen. I used both products for a month and noticed a dewiness and plumpness in my face--and my vag can't stop smiling.
