How can vaginal estrogen be applied effectively without an applicator?
You can absolutely apply vaginal estrogen cream effectively without an applicator. Here at Alloy, we recommend simply using your finger to apply the cream directly to the areas where you experience symptoms. This can include both inside the vagina and externally on the vulva, especially if you have itching or burning. Many women find finger application more comfortable and precise, allowing you to target sensitive areas like the vaginal opening (the "six o'clock" spot at the bottom of the vulva), which is often a trouble spot for pain or dryness.
For a helpful demonstration and more practical tips, check out the "Types and Application of Vaginal Estrogen" chapter in our YouTube video: Watch here.
