Too Embarrassed to ask

I would like to purchase some "astroglide". I looked around at a K-Mart the other day and couldn't find it. I was too embarrassed to ask anyone. Of course, I'm never too embarrassed to ask my hyster sisters!!! Where can you purchase it? Thanks...

Patti,
I bought some at Wal Mart. I think it was near the male protection, aka rubbers , section. It comes in a small box.

If you look next to the condoms, as Kim suggests, you'll find it. But if that's too embarrassing, take a look in the feminine protection section (I know, I know, you thought you were done with all that! ). I've seen the K-Y Silk and Astroglide there too...they're finally marketing to BOTH genders!

I was just going to ask questions...

about supplements, etc for those of us who are not on any HRT. I am 1-1/2 post op (total) and had been on Estradiol up until 3 weeks ago. I have a new doc and since I had run out of that Rx, he says I don't need it. I am 47 and he said that if I start experiencing hot flashes when I get older, then we will discuss some type of treatment. I see my doc for my 2nd visit in 2 wks, and then we will discuss what I should be taking, ie,. supplelments, etc.
I checked this site because I just knew that I would get some suggested alternatives to HRT. I was particulary concerned abouot the vaginal dryness and wella! that was answered also!!

Thanks so very much! I even learned where to find them at Wal Mart, Target and K-Mart!

8 pounds...Thats GREAT!!!!!!!!

Yes this seems to be what most of the sisters who stop the HRT say...They drop weight

Be kind to your body and pamper yourself.......Vit/min supplements are sooo important to help keep our bodys well ..Ask about calicum what he/she want daily mg's to be...Mine said 1600 daily.....

Drink ice water cools the body and is so good for the skin ......

keep posting OK???
