Product Information

AKA 'liquid paraffin', mineral oil is a petroleum by-product thought to suffocate the skin by coating it. Oil: Coconut, avocado and sunflower oils can be used, or they can be synthetic, like Vaseline. They are not recommended for use with a condom and can cause irritation.

The reduction in friction makes condom breakage less likely and can make sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you and your partner. Chemotherapy, hormonal cancer treatments and radiotherapy to the pelvic area can have the side effect of vaginal dryness.

YES ® lubricants offer you the discretion of products which, unlike traditional lubricant brands, draw no attention to themselves through disturbing smell, taste or colour. Silicone: Don't contain any water or oils, last longer and are less likely to cause irritation. However, they are more expensive and aren't ideal for lower-grade silicone sex toys. Here's how to use a lube, says Dr. Streicher: “The time to apply lubricant is before you attempt intercourse. You squeeze it on your fingers, and if there’s a penis involved, you apply it liberally to the penis, and to the opening of the vagina [or anus].” It’s important to warm the lube first, she adds: “If you put cold lube on an erection, he might lose it.” The founders of YES, Sarah and Susi, are two successful women with decades of experience in the chemical industry. They were concerned about the ingredients that popular cosmetics contain, particularly those that are easily absorbed into the skin. Sarah and Susi set up YES to provide a quality alternative to synthetic lubricants that women can feel confident about putting in their bodies. Oestrogen levels may diminish after giving birth and this can make your vagina feel drier than normal.

In these cases, lubricant may be used to help increase stimulation or relieve pain from friction. If you experience pain during or after sex, visit your GP or a sexual health clinic for advice. If you continue to have trouble reaching orgasm, it may be best to seek advice from a sex therapist. The founders of YES set out to create intimacy products which would outshine the category.

These can cause irritation and damage latex condoms. Certain medication to treat conditions like thrush (such as creams and pessaries) can also weaken and cause damage to latex condoms. To use lubricant, wash your hands first, then apply the desired amount around the vagina or spread on the penis. Remember, you can always begin with a small amount (a few pea-sized drops) and increase the amount when needed. If you’re using the lubricant on a condom, make sure the type of lube you use is appropriate for your needs, as oil-based lubricants can damage latex condoms. Lubrication – either natural or synthetic – is necessary for most sexual acts to be carried out comfortably and pleasurably. Natural lubrication is produced by the body during a state of sexual arousal, but it isn't always sufficient, can vary depending on where in her menstrual cycle a woman is and usually reduces over time. As well as vaginal sex, lubricants can also be applied before:
