excessive vaginal wetness when aroused

I am in my mid twenties and have had excessive vaginal wetness (aka large puddle on the bed, needing to take a break during intercourse to wipe off)  when I become aroused as long as I can remember. I don't think most people understand how annoying and sexually dissatisfying this is. I am so frustrated every time I ask for help most people just say how lucky I am (definatly don't feel that way). Its very messy, I have a hard time feeling anything during intercourse, and quite frankly not much fun for me or my partner.

I know I have no STD's, or infections. I've tried multiple birth control pills, antihystamines, and "just keeping a towel handy" as my OB offered isn't a viable option. I've done some research and heard of some drying powder, but that seems like an infection waiting to happen. Not to mention the main ingredient is corn starch so that would be like making vaginal gravy, not to sexually appealing either.

Any ideas, I vaguely remember hearing about vaginal laser surgery?

I have a different, new experience. Using my clitoral pump I did not have much wetness. But then I purchased a g spit vibrator and I was soaked. I wonder if the excessive wetness is due to g spot stimulation. It shocked me. I would be embarrassed having this occur with a partner. Iam single and hope to have a partner. I had to put a towel under me when using the g spot vibrator.I was unaware of this phenomenon til it happened to me last week. These posts assure me it's normal.

Last time I went to the GYN for a check up she told me she could give me something for my excess wetness. Touch triggers the wetness for me, overly sensitive.

When I was in my 20's and 30's, I did not have problems with wetness.  I started having problems with dryness after the birth of my second child at age 37.  It takes a lot of foreplay to get me there, but I eventually get wet enough.  When I was in my mid 30s, I briefly had to take Doxycyclin - it totally dried me out down there.  For those of you with too much wetness, ask your doctor about taking intermittent courses of Doxycyclin - it's a relatively harmless antibiotic.  It is often prescribed for bad acne because it dries out the overproductive oil glands in your skin.  I guess it has same effect on vaginal secretions

excessive vaginal fluids is never aproblem but rather to some cultures its ablessing.Forexample in East Africa,Uganda in particular western part of the country especially cattle keepers,have this as ablessing not aproblem because,Actually most people other side of the country long for such lady to witness of what normally happens.

Actually, the many women who have commented here that it IS a problem would signify that it IS a problem.

If you don't feel anything for lack of friction, he can satisfy you orally. All women like that, right?

IF he's creative and has good technique, enjoys doing it, is not in a hurry, so you're totally relaxed, in the 'carefree' zone - and as long as he is as if on a mission, committed to the goal, on-target and relentless in his approach, and you know how once he starts working on you he's going the distance, won't stop until you surrender, give in, give up, give him what he's wanting to get...more wet from you not less. The best that you produce.  Your sweet clean grade-A c**. What he needs to quench his thirst. Your fresh spring flowing. Swallowing your essence. Savoring your passion. Transcended... drifting along on your sea of love. To the shores - desert island paradise, once lost, now found.

Try alum. You will find that its the main ingredient in tightening creams and such. Here is what you do. Mix a tiny bit with water in a cup, bowl, what have you. Soak a cotton ball and insert. Wait a few minutes and remove. Secretion diminshed.  How much alum is up to you but be careful not to over indulge as you may get too dry. What are the side effects? Ask your doctor who would probabaly use complicated jargons like, FDA, pharmaceutical, infection. What I do know is that alum is cheap, located in the spice section of just about every grocery store, and my aunt (she taught me this as a way to fake being a virgin over and over again) and the other women in her community have been doing this for ions and are just fine. Oh also you may wanna give lime or lemon a shot too. If those I would recommend organic or non processed lemon/lime. Buy it and slice it yourself, not from a bottle. Slice transverse section, lay on back, and squeeze the juice into your twa. Astrigent. So two local recipes used in African and Asian cultures so before we get on our western high horses please remember that you are not being forced to try this so please do not try it. But in cultures, where female horniness is frownned upon, a wet vagina is a serious problem and so they take the art of drying it up very seriously.

The only time my vagina is less wet, is when Ive already masturbated at least once. The problem is, I can't be doing that all the time and  i might not even have time to masturbate in several occasions..

Hi Ladies,
I am a doctor (GP) - My rather embarrassed 25 year-old daughter asked me what she could do as this problem was ruining her sex-life. I have done a quick internet search and it appears that some vasoconstrictors may help reduce vaginal secretions. One research paper suggested Propranolol (a Beta-blocker which has both beta-1 and beta-2 effects) and was found to be beneficial (when tested in rats) - I would suggest 20-40mg taken an hour before sex - ask your GP for a prescription - Beware - not suitable for asthmatics as can cause bronchoconstriction (acute asthma-attack). Ironically, this medication can cause impotence in men.
Another non-scientific article suggested nicotine, which is a powerful vasoconstrictor - the recent availability of e-cigarettes means you will not have to 'take-up the smoking habit' and a puff just before sex may be worth a try.
Best of luck ladies.
Dr DB

What a comment...

My sex life is pretty darn amazing :) I am 100% satisfied by my partner and multiply and squirting.... I can go on. However this is not a perceived problem. it is real. So perhaps know what you are talking about before telling people to fix their mental state. It is a real physical problem that has a negative impact on my partner and on others partners.

I am completely in the same boat, minus the kids... This is not a fun problem and we are "not" lucky. It is horrible to know that your partner is not able to get off because it is too wet and yes you feel like a horrible failure. It also becomes not fun for you, as you can't feel anything. Everyone keeps mistaking it for a "tightness" issue do Keigles... Let me tell you no amount of keigles changes this... Hoping to find some solution... :(

I get very wet and my guy has no problem with staying hard or ejaculation. In fact I feel him just fine. Before him my sex life has never been a problem. I have been like a waterfall since I can remember. This is the first that I am hearing of it being a problem. I have always heard ppl complaining of the dryness. I really hope you find a solution.

Embrace the wetness people. If you actually stop focusing on yourself, your perceived short comings, or whatever, and get out of your heads, you'll find the whole experience much more pleasurable. Sex is supposed to be messy. It's animal and raw and generally most exciting when you're not over thinking it. Connect with the emotion and what's happing in your body. Everything else doesn't really matter. Your partners probably find difficulty in climaxing during intercourse because they can feel that you're tense and uptight about your body. They've lost you because you've gone into your head worrying about things.

Wow, way to minimize a real, physical problem! I have the same issue, I'm not tense during sex, quite the contrary, and it's a big issue for my partner, as the friction gets less and less the more we make love. Try possibly being more empathetic, and less demeaning. Nobody is overthinking it, it's an actual, physical problem.

i have the same problem but im also prowd of it i feel like a hot founten and feels verry healthy and spiritual
plus i have a salution: let your partner lick you verry well and  fingir you  as many fingers it goes well with his thumb and pinkiy together like a triangle

then when you feel satisfied lay back and rest a little youll get a hot cold
shivirng sensation he can wipe you down as well after he playd with you you might not need it you dry from the air and from inside
then you naturaly dry up a bit then he should pnatrate without you asking

a man wants to give the woman its in his nature
suddenly youl feel amazing and you might yell out from pleasure and he'll also start yelling out you might orgazim together in bliss
he can wipe you down as well after again and himself aswell and after som rest start again this time you can press his **** hard and lick and suck

there hope even if your a natural spring

I have never heard of being to wet as an issue. Ive asked multiple men and women and they believe there is no such thing as too wet. I get extremely wet and my man loves it. The wetter the better his reaction when he first goes in. I have to know is this an issue only in other ethnic groups?

I am probably a bit late commenting on your issue by now. But I noticed almost everyone has had their mind in the gutter(bad pun intended). It is because of your age range that everyone thinks this is a sexual dysfunction but there is a chance that its not you vaginal area or reproductive hormones causing this condition. You may possibly be having a different issue in another part of your body. I would suggest talking to a doctor who is an general physician about ruling out the possibilty of palsy or epilepsy that is enduced in you through a highly stimulating activity like sex. Sometimes wetness is caused by a cholinergic effect. If that happens to be the case they would give you an anticholinergic medication to dry up the excess moisture. However it turns out I wish you the best for your situation.

Have you considered having him make you ejaculate(squirt) before actual intercourse. That way you can get in all out and then wipe off before hand. Most case you ejaculate because of stimulation of your gspot. Which is a spongy feeling area a few inches inside of your vaginal opening on the front side. If feels spongier than than the surrounding area. If that is stimulated you will start to feel a sensation almost like you need to pee. If you let if go you will squirt. Just do that until you can't squirt anymore. Then wipe up and begin whatever else you wanted to do. I have noticed that after this the vaginal opening also because much tighter.
