Menopause is a natural and transformative stage in the lives of women and people assigned female at birth. Yet despite its universality, it is still too often surrounded by silence, taboos, and a lack of adapted resources.
At Floravi, we believe that sexual health during menopause deserves full attention and compassionate support. By normalizing conversations around aging, intimacy, and sexual wellness, we help women and their partners feel seen, heard, and supported.
The Impacts of Menopause on Sexual Health
Hormonal fluctuations during menopause can trigger various symptoms that directly or indirectly affect intimate health:
- Vaginal atrophy and dryness: causing discomfort, painful intercourse, and a higher risk of infections.
- Low libido: linked to reduced estrogen and testosterone levels.
- Decreased sensitivity: making arousal and pleasure more difficult to reach.
- Fatigue and sleep disturbances: lowering energy and sexual desire.
- Hot flashes, night sweats, and joint pain: disrupting overall well-being.
- Mood changes and lower self-esteem: making intimacy and connection harder to initiate.
These realities are well documented by organizations such as the Menopause Foundation Canada et Women’s Health.gov.
Self-Care During Menopause
Certain lifestyle habits can play a key role in maintaining sexual health and overall well-being during menopause:
- Prioritize quality sleep: maintain a regular sleep routine, limit caffeine, and create a calming environment.
- Stay active: regular exercise supports circulation, reduces hot flashes, and improves mood.
- Manage stress: yoga, meditation, or mindful breathing can help reduce anxiety.
- Practice self-compassion: accept that the body changes and give yourself permission to slow down and rest.
- Communicate with your partner: openly discuss needs, discomforts, and new ways of experiencing intimacy.
- Seek professional care: medical check-ups, or consultations with sexologists or pelvic health physiotherapists, can provide tailored support.

Vibrators and Intimate Health
Beyond pleasure, vibrators have therapeutic benefits. Regular stimulation supports blood circulation in vaginal tissues, helping prevent or slow vaginal atrophy. They also help rediscover new forms of pleasure and rekindle intimacy.

Vaginal Weights: Strengthening the Pelvic Floor
As we age, muscles naturally weaken if not exercised—including the pelvic floor. This can lead to issues such as urinary incontinence, organ prolapse, and reduced vaginal tone. Floravi vaginal weights provide a simple, progressive way to strengthen these essential muscles. With regular use, they help preserve pelvic tone, improve daily comfort, and support a fulfilling sex life.
Clitoral Arousal Gel: Reviving Sensitivity
During menopause, reduced blood flow and sensitivity can affect arousal and orgasm. The Floravi Intensifying Gel is designed to stimulate circulation and enhance sensations with a warming-cooling effect. Used alongside lubricants or accessories, it enriches every intimate experience.
Supporting Menopause with Care and Confidence
Menopause should not mean loss—it can be a time of transformation and rediscovery. With natural solutions, balanced lifestyle habits, and a compassionate approach, women can continue to feel vibrant, confident, and fulfilled in their intimate lives.
At Floravi, a proudly woman-founded Canadian company, our mission is to provide high-quality sexual wellness products, inclusive resources, and accessible education—so every woman feels supported throughout this important stage of life.
