YES Vaginal Moisturiser

Lube and moisturiser are often confused, but they solve different problems, and knowing the difference changes lives more than people expect. A lubricant eases friction in the moment; a vaginal moisturiser is used regularly, every few days, to rehydrate the tissue itself and relieve the everyday dryness, discomfort and irritation that many women experience – especially as oestrogen declines around menopause. YES is an organic, pH- and osmolality-matched formula with applicators for easy internal use, designed to be as gentle and body-considerate as possible.

This is one of the most genuinely useful, least-talked-about products we stock. Dryness around perimenopause and menopause is extremely common and entirely treatable, and a good moisturiser can restore day-to-day comfort – in clothes, on the bike, and during sex – in a way that simply reaching for lube can't. Use it as part of a routine rather than only in the moment, and keep a gentle lubricant alongside it for sex. If discomfort is significant, it's also worth a conversation with your GP about other options. Body-first, evidence-minded and quietly life-improving – exactly what the edit is for.
