Does YES® VM come with a resusable applicator?
No, none of the YES range currently comes with a reusable applicator. It's not that we aren't looking, but so far we haven't found one which doesn't affect the performance or the hygiene of our formulations - which is deal breaker for us. Until then, we do sell YES® VM, YES® WB and YES® OB in prefilled applicators - just select from the drop down menu for size options.
What's the difference between YES® VM and YES® WB?
The most obvious difference is that YES® WB is intended to provide lubrication for sex. It provides a rapid release of moisture which can also hydrate. YES® VM is for routine hydration of the vagina, it slowly releases moisture at the rate your body needs it (read up on osmolality). For more, read here.

Should you use a tube or an applicator?
The pre-filled applicators (or capsules) deliver the right amount of YES® VM to exactly where it is needed. Discreetly and hygienically.
The tube formulations are applied using the fingers to the outer and inner intimate areas. Many women experience dryness not just internally. The tubes do not include a reusable applicator.
Smart moisture release
YES® VM is iso-osmotic to vaginal tissues, this means that it will rehydrate tissues that need it, but will not pull or push water into the tissues, unlike strongly hypo or strongly hyper osmotic moisturisers, so minimising any chance of tissue damage.
A vaginal moisturiser is in contact with sensitive and dry tissues for much longer than an intimate lubricant, so it is even more important that the vaginal moisturiser is designed to release water where needed and to be formulated from ingredients that are gentle. YES® VM has been designed to match these vulnerable tissues in two ways. Firstly the pH is balanced to match typical vaginal pH (at pH 4) and secondly the strength and concentration of the ingredients used in YES® VM also matches these tissues. This ingredients’ strength or concentration is called Osmolality.

Directions for use
Each carton or pack of YES® VM contains a leaflet with detailed instructions for use.
- Apply using the applicator or with your fingers to the desired area
- For best results apply regularly. This may be daily initially, and then after a week or so, every third day. YES® VM is safe to use daily or as often as is needed for comfort.
- The frequency of reapplication depends on the severity of dryness. The natural and pure ingredients in YES® VM mean you can apply as much as you need to feel comfortable, with no dosage concerns. YES® VM is hormone free.
