Let’s talk Vaginal Dryness
Let me get straight to the point, I want to talk about vaginal dryness. It is a common problem that many women suffer from and can be very uncomfortable. I know, I experience this too. Vaginal dryness can be so intense that it can cause you to close down for business. Sex can be the last thing on your mind! The dryness is an uncomfortable, horrible feeling, it can be difficult to explain it. There can be irritation, soreness, or itching too. When you are this dry it can cause discomfort during sex.
What Causes Vaginal Dryness?
Vaginal dryness can happen when there are hormone level changes happening in the body, for example during the menopause, when breastfeeding, or if taking contraceptive pills. Perfumed soaps, or ones that do not match the vagina’s natural pH, can aggravate the area contributing to dryness too. If you try natural solutions and they don’t work or if you experience bleeding or unusual vaginal discharge, make sure to contact your GP for further investigation. Thankfully we are talking more about this issue than we were before, and fortunately there are some things that we can try to help.
Natural Products to Treat Vaginal Dryness
For example, take a look at the YES® range of products. This company’s mission is Making Vagina’s Happy®, which sounds good to me. Their products are all natural, plant-based and certified organic by the Soil Association. They do not contain any parabens, glycerine, hormones, or any known skin irritants. The range includes personal lubricants, vaginal moisturisers, and intimate washes.
So let me tell you more about them.
The YES® vaginal moisturiser is an isotonic gel that is pH matched to the vagina. It helps relieve vaginal atrophy, which is thinning of the vaginal tissues, and relieves discomfort and dryness. It can help alleviate irritation, itching and burning. YES VM® is designed to replenish vaginal moisture for up to three days, rehydrating and soothing the dry and sensitive vaginal tissues. It is brilliant to learn that an amazing 85% of customers experienced relief from symptoms in under an hour, pretty good results. Plus, the moisturiser is suitable for use with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms and is vegan approved.
The YES® vaginal lubricant range includes a water-based lubricant, which offers fast, intense hydration and feels natural, has no fragrance, and is pH matched.
YES® oil-based lubricant is a natural emollient containing shea butter and sweet almond oil. It is luxurious, nourishing, and provides a long-lasting glide. You can use the oil based one to be massaged as well if you like. Whilst YES® OB is compatible with silicone toys and water-play. It’s not condom compatible, so be sure to stick with water-based if you’re a condom user. Both lubricants are recommended by gynaecologists.
The latest addition to the range is, YES® O YES, a clitoral stimulant. This is a unique blend of organic oils crafted with care to stimulate desire, quicken arousal, excite sensation, and intensify pleasure. It comes in a small discreet roller applicator bottle to apply to fingers. It is not compatible with condoms.
I am delighted to say YES® to these products and I hope you like them too.
