Women’s Testosterone Cream: Your Questions Answered

So, you’ve heard about women’s testosterone cream and you’re wondering what all the fuss is about? Can women really take testosterone? How does it work? And most importantly, could it help you get your mojo back? 

At Hormones + You, we are the UK’s leading provider of prescription testosterone cream for women. We're on a mission to empower women to take control of their hormone health. We know there’s a lot of confusion (and misinformation) out there, so we’re here to cut through the incessant noise and give you the straight answers to the most common questions we hear about bioidentical testosterone cream for women. So let’s begin with our first question. 

Can women take testosterone?

Yes, testosterone is not just a male hormone, us women need it too, in order to feel at our best. It helps with all manner of functions, most notably your sex drive, but that is just where it begins, as it also helps with energy, mood, confidence, and even heart and bone health. 

Does testosterone cream really work for women?

Yes! Bioidentical testosterone cream is highly effective for women experiencing low libido and other symptoms of low testosterone. It’s not hype, it’s proven science. Clinical studies (and countless women’s experiences) show that bioidentical testosterone cream for women can effectively restore libido, improve mood, and boost overall wellbeing. 

Think of it as topping up a fuel tank that’s been running on empty. Once your testosterone levels are restored, your body can finally work the way it’s supposed to again. Want to find out more? Then read our blog, what does testosterone do for women?

How does testosterone cream affect your sex drive?

Bioidentical testosterone cream for women helps restore those levels, so that intimacy doesn’t feel like another task on your to-do list. Here’s what many women report after starting prescription testosterone cream: 

• A boost in confidence and a stronger desire for sex. 

• Increased arousal and pleasure during sex itself (because it isn’t just about wanting sex, it’s about enjoying it).

• Improved sensitivity and potentially better orgasms. 👀 

It’s not a magic wand, of course. But many women say it’s like flipping the switch back on after months (or even years) of dimmed desire.

“Amazing experience, got my libido back. Can’t thank you enough. I feel like myself again!”

So, if you’ve been wondering, can women take testosterone to get their sex drive back? The answer is yes, and a prescription-strength women’s testosterone cream (like ours) could be the solution you're looking for.

Can I buy testosterone cream online in the UK?

Yes, in the UK you can buy women’s testosterone cream online, but you’ll need a prescription. You might also come across products marketed as “testosterone boosters” that don’t require one, but be careful. These are often low quality, with unclear ingredients and dosages, and many don’t contain any real testosterone at all. 

In fact, we’ve already spoken about this topic, including the importance of using high-quality ingredients and the risks of buying cheap imported hormone treatments online.

At Hormones + You, our prescription testosterone cream for women is:

• Made with bioidentical hormones your body recognises

• Formulated in UK labs under strict regulations

• Customised specifically for you

• Developed and prescribed by doctors and pharmacists

In other words, you get safe, effective treatment every time, not a questionable product from overseas.

Can you use testosterone cream for menopause?

Yes absolutely! Many women first explore testosterone cream during perimenopause or menopause, when hormone levels naturally decline and libido can take a serious hit. We even have a testosterone plus cream that is designed for women over 38 who aren’t already on HRT.

But low testosterone can affect women of all ages, and our testosterone creams are used by a wide variety of women experiencing symptoms of low testosterone from those in their early twenties to late 60s and beyond.  

How long does it take to notice results?

Every woman responds differently, but many start to feel a lift in libido, energy, and mood within just a few weeks. For others, it can take a little longer while hormone levels settle. That’s why we check in with you every three months through follow-up questionnaires, so we can fine-tune your treatment and make sure you’re getting the results you want.

What’s the difference between bioidentical testosterone cream and other types of testosterone cream?

Bioidentical testosterone is designed to be structurally identical to the hormone your body naturally produces. That means it’s easier for your body to absorb and usually comes with fewer side effects compared to synthetic alternatives. Bioidentical testosterone is also made in a custom dose tailored specifically to you, rather than a standard one-size-fits-all prescription. This gives you more control over your treatment. Pretty impressive, huh?

Are there any side effects?

Our cream contains a low dose of testosterone, which means side effects are uncommon. You can learn more on our testosterone cream product page or check out our important safety information here. If you do notice any side effects while using the cream, please get in touch with us as soon as possible. We’re always on hand to help.

Is women’s testosterone cream safe long-term?

Yes, bioidentical testosterone cream is safe to use long-term when prescribed correctly. We prescribe a low-dose cream that has been carefully developed by a team of doctors and pharmacists under strict UK regulations. As we have already mentioned, every three months you’ll complete a follow-up questionnaire before getting the next treatment so we can monitor how it’s working for you and adjust the dose if necessary. 

How do I know if testosterone cream is right for me?

If you’ve noticed your sex drive has taken a tumble, your energy is flatter than a pancake, or you simply just don’t feel like your usual boss-self, it may be time to explore testosterone cream. 

And the easiest way to start? Take our quick online questionnaire, of course. It only takes a few minutes and will tell you whether you’re eligible for treatment. If you are eligible, you can order your personalised prescription, and your custom-dose testosterone cream will be sent straight out to you.
