Where Vagisan CAN be used before sexual intercourse to alleviate you symptoms, it can also compromise the tear strength of condoms and caps/diaphragms, as this is the case, you should avoid using the cream in conjunction with these contraceptive products. Vagisan also does not contain any spermicides and therefore does not protect against unwanted pregnancy. You can adapt the frequency of use to your personal needs. Usually, the cream is applied in the vagina once a day (in the evening); once symptoms have improved, the frequency of application can be reduced as needed.

The ointment is particularly soft, spreads easily and adheres well to the skin. Given the composition that includes skin-friendly natural oils and waxes, it forms a water-repellent protective film on the skin, yet lets the skin ‘breathe’. This can protect the skin from skin-irritating influences and prevent the external genital and anal area from becoming sore - without allowing a build-up of moisture. Dr. Wolff's V-san Protective Ointment does not contain mineral oils or silicones.
