Intended Use

Replens is a personal lubricant for vaginal application, intended to moisturize and lubricate, to enhance the ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity and supplement the body's natural lubrication. This product is compatible with natural rubber latex condoms and synthetic (polyurethane and polyisoprene) condoms.

Device Story

Replens Vaginal Moisturizer is a non-sterile, water-based, white to off-white, non-irritating, non-greasy, non-staining vaginal gel. It is supplied in single-use, pre-filled applicators designed to reduce mess during application. The device is intended for ongoing use as a long-lasting moisturizer for vaginal dryness, not exclusively for intimate sexual activity. It is an over-the-counter product for patient self-use. The gel functions by providing moisture and lubrication to the vaginal mucosa. Clinical studies have evaluated its effect on vaginal pH, vaginal dryness index, and patient symptom relief. The device is compatible with natural rubber latex and synthetic (polyurethane and polyisoprene) condoms, ensuring it does not compromise their integrity. Benefits include relief of vaginal dryness symptoms and enhanced comfort during sexual activity.

Clinical Evidence

Multiple clinical studies (prospective, double-blind, and open-label) involving over 200 patients evaluated Replens. Studies assessed vaginal pH, vaginal dryness index, and patient-reported symptom relief over durations ranging from 5 days to 12 months. Results consistently indicated the product is safe, well-tolerated, and effective for treating vaginal dryness. Bench testing included biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, irritation, systemic toxicity, hypersensitivity), USP <51> antimicrobial effectiveness, and condom compatibility testing.

Technological Characteristics

Water-based vaginal gel; non-sterile; white to off-white; non-greasy; non-staining. Ingredients are NF, USP, or GRAS. Delivered via single-use, pre-filled plastic applicators. Shelf life of one year. No electronic components or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for individuals requiring vaginal moisturization and lubrication to supplement natural lubrication and enhance comfort during intimate sexual activity. Compatible with natural rubber latex, polyurethane, and polyisoprene condoms.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A condom is a sheath which completely covers the penis with a closely fitting membrane. The condom is used for contraceptive and for prophylactic purposes (preventing transmission of sexually transmitted infections). The device may also be used to collect semen to aid in the diagnosis of infertility.

Special Controls

*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for condoms made of materials other than natural rubber latex, including natural membrane (skin) or synthetic.(2) Class II (special controls) for natural rubber latex condoms. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Labeling for Natural Rubber Latex Condoms Classified Under 21 CFR 884.5300” will serve as the special control. See § 884.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
