When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Hi Ellelinc,
Hi Ellelinc,
Aussie Soul Sister had talked about using the honey as a lubricant for sex, and I think she may have used condoms as well, but can't find the thread where she was talking about it.
As far as when to have sex again, that is entirely up to you and how you feel. Don't rush into it if you aren't feeling healed enough or ready. There are certainly other things you and hubby can do until then.

Hi Dear Ellelinc1216,
Hi Dear Ellelinc1216,
During the year after my periods stopped (menopause), when I needed to avoid any however remote chance of pregnancy, I did use only honey to help with lubrication.
I like coconut oil as well and can use both now, if I need to but have no need for condoms anymore. I wasn't prepared to take the risk with any oil with a condom as I couldn't find any information on coconut oil's corrosive potential on condoms.
I never liked the commercial lubricants as they stung, probably the ipisiotomy scars.... I tried a fruit based one many years ago. Perhaps now there are more natural and friendlier commercial water based lubricants available.
I agree with Aging that there are other ways to be intimate until you are ready.

P.S. I made sure that the honey was applied vaginally, and dissolved, so that there was enough lubrication generated by vaginal fluid to ensure comfort. I can't source any information as to whether any natural substance like honey or coconut oil are compatible with condoms. I took the risk, however for me the risk was minimal.
Maybe someone with a chemistry background can add further to this discussion.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Using manuka honey
Hello. I decided to use manuka honey to help my severely itchiness on the outside of my vagina. I did this before I found this forum. My question is this; can the honey cause me to get a period? I haven't had a period in about a year, yet as soon as I used the honey I started spotting. I am 50 years old. It never got worse than spotting, but lasted a few days. Anyone know if this is possible? Also, will the honey help with the itching? It's due to nothing but overly sensitive skin. Thank you in advance.

I haven't heard of any
I haven't heard of any correlation between using honey and it causing periods.
The itchiness you are having could also be fungal. Christine has talked about using vinegar and then honey over a period of time. That seems to help the best in most situations.
Also, just as a reminder, you don't have to use the expensive manuka honey, because raw local honey really does do the trick.

Itchiness
I know it's not fungal. I have been diagnosed with dermatitis, which basically means the doctors have no clue why my skin itches. I have battled this condition for a long time, however it moved to my vaginal area about ten years ago and has progressively gotten worse over the years.

Hi Horselover,
Hi Horselover,
There are a lot of discussions and suggestions for itchiness on the forum, from dietary changes, eliminating certain skin products, etc. Well worth having a look around; you may find something that clicks with you.

itchiness
Horselover, you mentioned the itching is on the outside of the vagina, but make sure you are putting the honey high up inside for maximum benefit. All menopausal women can benefit greatly from this. I totally agree with AG - you need to look at your diet and other factors. For example, my husband was relieved of decades of skin rashes and irritations when he cleaned up his diet at age 60+ - Surviving
