A member asked:

I was wondering if vagisil is a vaginal lotion or lubricant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neither: The manufacturer designed it to treat "vaginal itching" which is available over the counter at the pharmacy. It is rarely effctive at treating vaginal infections, and often contains vaginal irritants.
