You might experience intermittent, or even constant, pain at any time of the day, regardless of what you are doing. For others, discomfort is felt only when the tissue is stretched, such as during sex or when using tampons. This is because, as well as being drier, the tissue around the vagina has become less flexible and doesn’t expand as easily as it did before. Vaginal dryness is often associated with the menopause, but women of any age can experience it. There are times in every woman's life when using a lubricant can be necessary to alleviate the unwelcome symptoms of dryness which can cause pain and discomfort during sex. We get it! Anything new near your most intimate body part is a big deal. How will it feel? Will it work? What happens if you're just not that into us? Struggling with a low libido, or is your vagina simply not playing ball? From PMS to the menopause, there are various reasons why you might be feeling dry in the vagina department.

Use of chemicals and products, such as harsh soaps, chemicals in swimming pool or medications such as some cold remedies.

Seeing the amount of foods and food groups you’ll have to abstain from during treatment of poor vaginal health most women will surely ask “But what can I Eat?”. Along with taking YES Water Based Vaginal Moisturizer, there are many foods that are part of the same food groups which aren’t considered to be helpful in treating and preventing poor vaginal health going forward. While vaginas are self-cleaning and self-pH-regulating, there is one area that sometimes needs extra attention: lubrication. With one squeeze lube can revamp your sex life and benefit your health, but it is still considered taboo and many women are too shy to invest in a bottle. I've had a response from YES about availability on the NHS, see below. I don't think there is anything to gain if you don't have a prescription cert or free prescriptions but this is another bonus for me.

Pessary: The most common choice of vaginal estrogen is to use a pessary, such as Vagifem® (containing estradiol). This is a small tablet you insert into the vagina, using an applicator. It is administered daily for the first two weeks, and then twice weekly after that. Women usually insert the pessary at nighttime so they can stay in place in the vagina for several hours.

Yes Lubricants was founded in 2003 by long standing friends, Susi Lennox and Sarah Brooks. After careers working for major pharmaceutical companies, they realised that there was no natural alternative to synthetic lubricants available, so they set out to create their own line of natural, organic, plant-based lubricants.
