I am 72 years old and so I suppose it's not surprising that I have vaginal dryness. I have tried several different moisturisers including Silk and one from Boots but they have all caused a stinging sensation. I'm not sure what else to try. Jannie

It is very likely that this is due to menopausal lack of estrogen, which can have significant effects on the vagina and bladder.
Using a regular vaginal moisturiser can help, but also worth considering the use of low dose vaginal estrogen. See
