From waste to wellness – what women want: insights into patient perspectives on topical vaginal estrogen applicators and environmental considerations

This study demonstrates that younger postmenopausal women showed greater concern for plastic waste and its impact on the environment, with a preference for reusable products. Manufacturers of health products and prescribers should be aware of this growing trend. With similar overall satisfaction and side-effect profiles, users should be made aware of the different types of applicators available to help support an informed decision.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that younger postmenopausal women showed greater concern for plastic waste and its impact on the environment, with a preference for reusable products. Manufacturers of health products and prescribers should be aware of this growing trend. With similar overall satisfaction and side-effect profiles, users should be made aware of the different types of applicators available to help support an informed decision.
