Customers share their stories – how they received assistance with their vestibulitis
Vestibulitis causes pain in and around the vaginal opening. The pain occurs when something is inserted into the vagina or pressed against the opening.
Living with vestibulitis not only affects relationships and sex life, but also impacts all other aspects of life. That's why I'm so incredibly happy that I tried the products, because they have helped me so much.
Living with vestibulitis
- There is hope

- In November 2017, I found out that I had vestibulitis. I had just started a new relationship with a guy. During our first year together, we couldn't have penetrative sex at all because of the vestibulitis, as I was in so much pain and my vagina was dry. Oral sex only worked sometimes. I got my vestibulitis in June 2017 from having sex once while I had a yeast infection.
On Facebook, I saw a post about a woman who had used Q for Skins Blackcurrant Oil. She had had problems with dry mucous membranes for 10 years and this oil had helped her restore her mucous membranes. I felt I had to try it. At first, the oil felt almost drying and itchy in the area, but after a few weeks it felt better. It felt like the skin in my lower abdomen had become almost twice as strong as before. The vestibulitis also felt better after this, as the area felt more resilient than before. It was also not as dry inside the vagina, which further reduced the pain during sex.
I have taken both Q for Skins Blackcurrant capsules and used the oil. Blackcurrant Oil and the blackcurrant capsules have contributed to it now being much easier to have sex as the skin has become stronger and is not as dry; most of the time I have no pain at all during sex.
Living with vestibulitis not only affects your relationship and sex life, but also your whole life in general. That's why I'm so incredibly happy that I tried the products because they have helped me so much. It has improved my quality of life in many ways! In addition, for four years I have had problems with an anal fissure (a crack in the rectum that causes cramps in the sphincter muscle and pain in the rectum). Since I started washing with Blackcurrant Oil , the pain has decreased and it feels like the tear has disappeared. However, the oil has sometimes caused itching, but overall it has had positive effects. This has also improved my quality of life. That's why I would recommend anyone with anal fissures to try this too and see if it can help them as well.

Vestibulitis: Feelings of shame, inadequacy, and lost femininity
Jennie
- Do you know what vestibulitis is? I wouldn't be surprised if you don't, because you're definitely not the first. Yet it is estimated that one in ten women between the ages of 18 and 25 suffer from vestibulitis, and another study even suggests that the number is higher, but still, hardly anyone knows what it is.
My name is Jennie. I discovered that this condition existed one day when I was sitting in front of my computer, googling in sheer desperation. I had been having serious problems in my intimate area two years, but no one had taken me seriously or offered any help. Chronic yeast infection was all the doctors said, and they gave me medication, but when the yeast infection was gone, the symptoms remained—and the mucous membranes got worse and worse. I couldn't use tampons, intercourse was painful, and for a while I couldn't even wear pants or ride a bike.
Vestibulitis is pure and simple pain in the lower abdomen. Burning vulva is another term for it. The mucous membrane around the opening becomes hypersensitive and dry, which means that the slightest touch leads to intense stinging and burning pain. And despite the fact that they estimate that so many women are affected, there is no research and no effective treatment has been developed.
When I discovered that I might have to live with vestibulitis for the rest of my life, I was terrified. Who would want me when I'm like this? How will I be able to have children and live a good life? To tell the truth, my own perception of pain in the lower abdomen was a normal condition. Isn't that what it means to be a woman? That sex can hurt, but I push through it anyway because that's just how it is for us women. Our pleasure is not as important, and the shame I feel if I cannot live up to the sexual norm for women makes me feel inadequate.
And that's exactly it, the shame. We need to start talking about our intimate area! We need to start sharing our stories, putting our foot down, and trying to respect our bodies. I know significantly more women who suffer from some form of fragile mucous membranes than women who do not. And women who have sex even though it hurts, and women who have yeast infection after yeast infection and are prescribed Pevaryl, which destroys the mucous membrane—but which no one talks about.
One step in the right direction is that I have tried everything. I am almost symptom-free from vestibulitis today after a multi-treatment that required mental, physical, and emotional work. The only thing it left behind was exhausted and dry mucous membranes. But I had given up a little, thinking that it was a normal condition for us women anyway.
But then, two months ago, I started working at a Hälsokraft store and heard about a blackcurrant seed oil we sold that, according to customers, was incredibly good for the mucous membranes. I didn't expect anything special because four years had made me quite skeptical. But when I came in on day two, it was suddenly as if the entire mucous membrane had been replaced. Four years, and then two days were enough to make me feel almost completely healed. Two days... So hope has been rekindled, and I'm putting my foot down and saying no, dry and fragile mucous membranes are not a normal condition for us women! And above all, it's time for us to let Fifi take her place. She has been hidden away for far too many centuries.
