Can Replens Be Substituted With Any Other Vaginal Moisturizer Post Menopause?

I had breast cancer in 12/2014. My oncologist will not approve any estrogen-carrying options for my vaginal dryness that is affecting my sex life w/ my husband. Is there anything other than Replens (which I ve tried & was not helpful!) that you suggest? I m postmenopausal. Thanks!
