What the Experts are Saying:

 

Mr Nick Panay BSc MBBS MRCOG MFSRH – Director of the West London Menopause and PMS Centre

“In my capacity as a Consultant Gynaecologist with a special interest in premature menopause, I see many women suffering from menopausal vaginal atrophy, whose symptoms can be significantly eased through the use of an appropriate vaginal moisturiser / lubricant. Based on my professional experience of such products, and the feedback from my patients I can say without hesitation that the Yes range proves to be the one of the most successful in combating the discomfort of dryness. I have confidence that its natural formulation affords effective re-moisturisation, while treating sensitive tissues with great gentleness.”

 
 

Dr Tracie Miles – Lead Gynaecology Oncology Nurse Specialist. Past President of the National Forum of Gynaecological Oncology Nurses

“Women undergoing treatment for cancer may experience unwanted changes to their vaginal mucosa. Uncomfortable and sometimes painful vaginal dryness is one commonly reported symptom of treatment. Yes moisturising lubricant can be used safely and with confidence by women to ameliorate these distressing symptoms and to restore comfort. Yes lubricants can also be used to help ease applicator insertion for vaginal brachytherapy. My patients report a preference for a non-medical lubricant to support the use of vaginal dilators as part of sexual survivorship, following the physical and psychological trauma of the disease and treatment. They find Yes to be a non-irritant, effective and comforting alternative to the standard products available over the counter.”

 
 

Michelle Lyons MISCP, RPT – Women’s Health Physiotherapist and international lecturer

“I have no hesitation in recommending ‘Yes’ products to patients and also to the participants in my Women’s Health courses. I love the fact that they are free of known endocrine disruptors and potential vulvo-vaginal irritants. I have given the products to post natal mums, to peri-menopausal women and to women recovering from cancer or dealing with pelvic pain. My patients love them and I love being able to confidently recommend them, for both health and pleasure.”

 
 

Ellie Stewart – CNS Urogynaecology at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust

“I work as a clinical nurse specialist in Urogynaecology. I regularly recommend Yes for women who I see. Women who are peri or post menopausal often suffer with vaginal dryness, soreness, irritation or discomfort during sex. This can result in a massive impact on quality of life and sexual relations. Women who try Yes come back to me with a smile on their face, commenting on how much easier and pleasurable sex is and how much more comfortable they feel. Some women are not keen on vaginal oestrogen, for personal or medical reasons, but this provides them with a fantastic alternative which really does work.It can be used regularly to moisturise the vagina or before sex to improve lubrication. Yes water-based is now available on prescription too.”

 
 

Emma Azeem – Gynaecology Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist

“In my role as a Gynaecology Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist working with women who are recovering from gynaecological cancers, I am glad to be able to recommend Yes intimate moisturisers and lubricants, confident that they offer my patients a safe and guaranteed pure solution to vaginal and vulval dryness and soreness. It is nice to be able to offer a lubricant that is reassuringly free of all skin irritants and hormone disruptors.”

 
 

Maria Elliott – Women’s Health & Pelvic Pain Physiotherapist

“I love the Yes Yes Products and recommend them to all my patients.  I recommend women to use the oil based one for external and internal vulval and vaginal massage and then the water based one for intercourse.  Also recommend the water based one daily if there is any inflammation at the vaginal entrance to calm it down. I have found that the patients all tolerate the products very well and have had had no adverse reactions.  I have not found anything better on the market to date. Thank you for a great product.”

 
 

Anne Brember- Senior Breast Care Nurse at the Basingstoke and North Hants Hospital

“I find that Yes organic products, are welcomed by my patients as a solution to the distressing symptoms of vaginal and vulval dryness and soreness which often result from their cancer treatment. These women find that the pure and natural lubricants and moisturisers which are gentle on traumatised tissues can provide much needed relief and make them feel more comfortable and feminine again.”

 
 

Dr Elizabeth Venner – Vulval Dermatologist BSc Hons, MBBS, MRCP (UK) Associate Specialist Dermatology and GUM Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro Lead Clinician Vulval and Genital Dermatology Service BSSVD Member

“I work as a Vulval Dermatologist and women with genital skin conditions often find sex, and the friction of sex, can make their skin conditions worse. As a consequence of this I always recommend using a lubricant, and I have found that those women who have used Yes report that it is by far the best lube they have tried, both in terms of lubrication and it’s lack of irritancy.”

 
 

Paula Chaplin – Specialist Practice Nurse to Dr Jill Pritchard, Genito-urinary consultant at Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals NHS Trust, Surrey

“I work in the Blanche Heriot Unit as a specialist Nurse seeing patients with vulval pain and discomfort. I have found having ‘Yes’ samples to give to my patients a real benefit. My patients are not at all afraid or apprehensive about using these products because they have no additives or chemicals which may cause further skin irritation. The benefits my patients have found include not just the lubrication side but also for ‘putting moisture back down there’. Lots of patients find the double glide method eg. ‘Yes’ oil first and then water-based ‘Yes’ very effective for increasing comfort during and after intercourse. Keep up the good work. Yes is a great product. Many thanks.”

 
 

Fabia Brackenbury – Founder of the Vulval Health Awareness Campaign and of the National Lichen Sclerosis Support Group

“I am often asked which lubricant I like to use. In my work for VHAC and in my private life, I have tried the full range of lubricants available today and I find my favourite is YES. YES oil based is excellent for daily use to prevent dryness, even if intercourse is not taking place and YES water based is best used with condoms and before and during intercourse. Having a vulval skin condition often means seeking out a gentle product without harmful additives that may irritate. I find the gentle organic formula of YES is ideal for my vulval skin.”

 
 

Ruth Hallam-Jones – Sex and relationship therapist

“Yes lubricants are a real asset and resource for all women, those with dryness issues will find it may solve problems and other women will have less chance of developing problems. It is of use with women with vaginismus, women who experience pain during penetrative sex and women who find it difficult to be orgasmic. This is all thanks to what I call Yes’s ‘maximum glideability.”

 
 

David Edwards, MBBS, MSc DRCOG, GP – Specialist in male and female Sexual Dysfunction

A product that in my clinical experience, is useful both as a lubricant and moisturiser is Yes Organic Lubricant. It comes in two forms, an oil-based, thicker preparation (containing Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter together) and a water-based product (with Aloe Vera and three plant gums). Both are certified by the Soil Association as being organic. I often advise patients to use a thin ‘basecoat’ of the oil-based preparation followed by a ‘topcoat’ of the water-based product – what Ruth Hallam-Jones neatly termed the ‘double glide technique’ for treating Vaginismus.”(from BJSM 2010 Vol 33 article on ‘Current management options for women with HSDD’)

 
 

Trudy Hannington – Psychosexual and relationship therapist, The Leger Clinic, Doncaster

“I have given over 100 women samples of the YES lubricant and out of all the lubricants I have been able to give patients in my clinic Yes is by far the best. The feedback has been incredible and the majority have since purchased the full size product from your website. I do hope it will soon become available on prescription. The feedback I have had has included “it feels lovely on my skin, no irritation or side effects”. Sex is so much more comfortable and it stays on for a long time without becoming sticky! When working with women with Vaginismus and Dyspareunia I recommend they first apply the oil based lubricant, followed by the water based lubricant which makes the vagina really well lubricated and stays like that for a very long time. Women often find it difficult to relax when they constantly anticipate that sexual activity is going to be painful but have reported that they don’t feel this at all after only using the product a couple of times. I would definitely recommend both the oil and water based lubricant. It feels great on both males and females and patients also report that it doesn’t feel like a medical product they are having to use, but that they have enjoyed the feel of it so much that they see it as part of the fun and enjoyment of their sexual activity.”

 
 

Janey Lee Grace – Broadcaster, ethical guru and author of Imperfectly Natural Woman www.imperfectlynatural.com

“At last! A natural alternative to petro-chemicals which we definitely don’t need in that very sensitive spot!”

 
 

Carol Daniels – Sex and relationship therapist

“Lubrication is a very important part of the physical arousal process and often women will need additional lubrication to help them enjoy stimulation of the vulval area, including the clitoris and vagina. Having tested all the lubrication available on the market, YES has, in my opinion, proved to be the best in terms of viscosity and maintaining moistness whilst not causing any irritation whatsoever. I recommend it to all my clients and also to the medical students I teach so that they in turn, can recommend it to their future patients.

 
 

Emily Dubberley – Sexpert and author

“Yes feels really natural, which is great because, let’s face it, who wants sex to be fake? I’m always recommending it to friends, both male and female, who are suffering after a really long session and need something soothing to ease that oh-so-familiar ache. The aloe vera in Yes makes it really soothing. And it’s good from an eco point of view as it’s organic.”

 
 

Rachel Foux – Women’s health and holistic healing, qualified maternity and fertility therapist, psychosexual therapist

“Yes, is an invaluable resource for all pregnant and postnatal couples as it brings natural relief from vaginal dryness brought on by hormonal fluctuations and increases the potential for sexual arousal during this time of transition. Being completely natural Yes is a perfect addition to a healthy pregnancy. I recommend it to all mums as their choice lubricant for genital massage. Not only does it feel good, it also brings guilt free pleasure as there are no extra chemicals going into your baby.”
