Naomi Watts swears by skincare product for ‘down there’

Naomi Watts says her beauty brand Stripes’ vagina moisturiser is one product she cannot be without.

Naomi Watts “cannot live without” her skincare product for “down there”.

The 56-year-old actress launched the wellness and beauty brand Stripes in 2022 and one of their top products is the “ultra-hydrating” Vag of Honor gel for intimate areas.

She told Page Six: “Skincare for down there! Made from a blend of ultra-hydrating ingredients, VOH helps relieve dryness to intimate areas and keeps your vag feeling confident and moisturised all day. This is one of those skincare products I cannot live without!”

The brand is aimed at women going through the menopause and the ‘Feud: Capote vs. the Swans’ star previously revealed her own transition started with dry, sensitive skin, while the most “unpleasant symptom” was being kept awake at night.

She told Forbes magazine: “For me, that [menopause] started with dry, sensitive, and irritable skin. But I would say the most unpleasant symptom I experienced was sleeplessness, because that is connected to so many other issues.

“When you don’t sleep, you can’t concentrate, you get brain fog, you get migraines, you get anxiety, you get stressed and depressed.”

Naomi was diagnosed as menopausal when she was in her 30s and her symptoms kicked in when she was in her early 40s.

And she says being more open about it and talking to friends has been a huge help and strengthened her relationships with other women.

She added to the outlet: “Once the conversation is open, you let go of all of that fear and stigma and taboo, and the truth is on the table in all the gory details. Just like we have needed to connect at every stage of a woman’s life, about our health, first kisses, fertility, motherhood, you need conversations and a fountain of information about this time in our lives.

“Now I openly share about what I’m going through with my peers, and it’s quite fun. And out of that has come strengthened friendships, because we’re more authentic with each other.”
