Vaginal Itching and Irritation—Stop the Itch Instantly!

Vaginal itching and irritation are common (and uncomfortable!) symptoms women tend to experience. Vaginal itching and irritation can even occur if you don’t have a vaginal yeast infection.

In fact, a recent survey revealed that 61% of women experience itching 17 times a year.1 Vaginal itching and irritation are usually characterized by a tingling, stinging or burning sensation of the external skin surrounding the vaginal area. The itching can range from mild to severe and can come and go at any time.
