I am perimenopausal and have been dealing with vaginal dryness since February of this year. While I was using another product to try to resolve this, I was asked to review Revaree. I received 10 free samples in the mail and used all of them before writing this review.
The Bottom Line: Did Bonafide Revaree Solve My Vaginal Dryness Problem?
Yes, Hello Bonafide Revaree worked very well for my vaginal dryness. It made it possible to be intimate without lubricants, it was not runny, and I did not need to insert a Revaree bullet daily, which was very convenient.

Ratings Breakdown
Overall Rating: 4.6/5
Overall, Revaree helped me get past my vaginal dryness issues. It really did work for me and I ended up buying another 10 suppository supply!
Quality
The suppositories are individually wrapped in quality material that does not leak and is easy to open. Once out, they do not feel greasy, melt, or crumble between fingers.
Value
For someone who is frequently intimate, or suffers from vaginal discomfort due to dryness, I think the product is definitely worth it, especially since it is not necessary to use it daily. The Bonafide website offers multiple ways to obtain Revaree, from getting an individual box to a subscription, so you can choose what works best for you. I took one star off for unclear discount advertising.
Ease of use
The product is easy to use. Upon removing the bullet from the package, insert it manually to the indicated depth in the instructions. You may have to adjust your fingertip so it does not form suction with the lower portion of the bullet during insertion.
Safety
The Bonafide brand appears trustworthy. I love their choice of brand and product names. The website offers a variety of products and educational content geared toward women in menopause. The brand combines natural and evidence-based treatments backed by scientific research to treat symptoms of menopause.
Customer Experience
Overall, I had a very good experience with using this brand. I was satisfied enough that I bought a Revaree subscription. I contacted Bonafide live chat and received a quick response repeating what I already read on the website. I alerted the associate to that and she offered to follow-up via e-mail with a more thorough answer, which she promptly did..
My Experience With Bonafide Revaree
My partner and I have been together for over a decade. We are both in our late 40’s and intimate on a regular basis. In the past neither of us has had any issues with our bodies being ready for intercourse. That changed in February, when I started noticing a little bit of vaginal dryness.
I bought a thin, water-based lubricant that took care of the inconvenience. However, in March, a rather sudden change took me by surprise! Despite foreplay and my thinking I was ready to move onto intercourse, my body was saying otherwise. There was absolutely no vaginal response. In fact, when I tried inserting my finger, I was encountering quite a bit of friction. Clitoral stimulation was accomplishing nothing as well.
While I understood that this was an expected “feature” of aging, I felt embarrassed and failed by my body. The water-based lubricant was still doing its job, but it did not feel good any longer. At this point it felt thin and needed replenishing mid-intercourse. I needed something that would provide a little more substance and longevity.
The first product I landed on was a water-based moisturizer with hyaluronic acid. The delivery system was via pre-packaged single-use applicators. I was not very happy with the product for several reasons, the main reasons being the product provided only one day of moisture, and it was quite thin. I bought 20 applicators, though, so I decided to use them as expensive lubricants.
Not long after I purchased the product above, I saw an offer to test and review Revaree. Of course, I immediately jumped onto this opportunity. A few weeks later, I received a box of Revaree with 10 bullets. The box is professionally printed with a very clean and smart design. It reads like a medical OTC product with clear descriptions and warnings on the box. The contents are a leaflet and 10 individually wrapped bullets. The bullets are the size and shape of an almond, although more rounded.
I approached the Revaree trial like somewhat of a scientist, so I asked my partner for our baseline – intercourse without any lubrication. That evening we made an honest attempt at lovemaking and stopped quickly as it was painful and uncomfortable for both of us. He noted that his appendage felt as if it were burned. I inserted the first bullet before bedtime.
The bullet felt firm and non-greasy between fingers, thanks to the synthetic glycerides that are designed to retain the product shape. The key to this product is not only the hyaluronic acid, but also the palm and palm kernel oils. While hyaluronic acid provides hydration to the tissues, the palm kernel oils mimic the body’s natural lubrication.
I wear liners anyway, and I would recommend wearing a liner with this product. Even though the discharge of it is minimal, it is still a bit greasy.
The first and second day of my experiment I inserted the bullets nightly. I was intimate with my partner twice and played with my toys twice without any issue. Intercourse was approximately 16 hours after insertion on both days, and we found it easy and pleasurable. It felt great to be ready for “action” as soon as he was. It did feel a little thicker than water-based lubricants, but I found I enjoyed it as it provided more feeling.
Since things were going so well with nightly insertion, I decided to skip the evening bullet. Twenty-four hours later we were still able to enjoy the benefits of Revaree. Later that evening I planned to insert a bullet, but forgot.
The next day I was very curious how things would work next time.. Intercourse was still pleasurable. Even though I was drier, there was enough moisture to keep it going, although in retrospect I should have opted for a water-based lubricant for comfort. My partner stated that he did not feel a difference.
Everyone’s body is different and they may need Revaree at different intervals. For me, every other day proved to be a perfect schedule. For me, the return to spontaneity in our intimacy and return of confidence are well worth the price.

All About Bonafide Revaree And What Attracted Me To It
What attracted me to this product was the fact that it could return spontaneity and intimacy to my relationship with my partner, and that it could make me feel young again. In this age where women live longer and lead more active lives, menopause can feel like a cruel clock that spells decline of our bodies. I felt that Revaree, a product made with simple and natural ingredients, would not harm my body or cause inconvenience while allowing me to better enjoy my life.
The Other Vaginal Moisturizer I Used and Why I Didn’t Like It
As I mentioned earlier, I was testing another product before Revaree that came in a plastic applicator. I did not like having to dispose of the applicator at the bedside. The product was water-based, so it produced a noticeable amount of discharge during the day, even though I used the applicator before bedtime. Because it did not have “staying power,” it didn’t provide substantial improvement in intercourse as it felt thin.
Tips For Using Revaree Based On My Experience
I have small fingertips and the bottom of the bullet was concave. My index finger fitted perfectly into it and would form a vacuum seal while I was trying to insert it, so it was coming out when I was trying to remove my finger. After a few attempts, I solved this issue by slightly curving my finger during insertion.
Conclusion
Revaree definitely delivered on its promise. It provided sufficient lubrication with consistent use. I enjoyed the improved sensation during intercourse, return to spontaneity, and increased confidence and libido. I loved the convenience of needing to use the product only once every two days! One box was enough to show me this was the right product for us.

Received in a timely fashion, couldn't wait for night time to use, definitely let this be the last thing you do because it will leak and if you cough to soon the suppository may fall out, with that said it melts rather fast and retains moisture for a minimum of 2 days.
No burning or anything for me, my only issue is I wish it would have come with an insert, luckily I had an extra one which I washed really well and attached the suppository directly onto it to go as deep as possible.
Definitely recommend if you're experiencing dryness and there's no messy cottage cheese residue like Repleans which I'll never use again, it is more expensive but worth every cent. I give this a 5 star.
51 year old with no no health issues at 6 years into menopause and heaven sent.
FYI I discuss this with my OBGYN since I wear the estradiol patch for hot flashes and she said I should be fine….so far no side effects.

Awesome Product
Love this moisturizer! I added this to my regime and it made a huge difference. It moisturizes inside and out. Slight burning/tingling on the first dose, but none after that. Natural ingredients, any product not absorbed inside is clear and moisturizes outside as well leaving the area very soft and moisturized. It definitely helps with dryness. My doctor approved me to take this product along with estrogen cream. They work well together. Its not messy at all. I suggest using the suppository plungers (interesting tool) so it goes inside higher and more is absorbed inside and less comes out. It's worth the money if it is in your budget. You can subscribe with a 3 month supply and save about $20/box.

Messy Revaree!
I used this product for about 3 weeks but the mess in my underwear from it was significant. Also I can’t say that it made a hug difference in the sex department either. I’m kinda envious of those it did work for. If it had worked I would have dealt with its messiness. Also yes, it is expensive
