YES VM - Natural Vaginal Moisturiser - 100ml
MenopauseIn stockMore InformationNatural Vaginal Moisturiser
YES VM contains no Glycerine, no Propylene glycol, no Aspartame, no Parabens, no unpronounceable preservatives (like Diazolidinyl urea or Triethanoloamine or Imidazolidinyl urea) or Polyquaternium.
YES VM natural Vaginal Moisturiser is:
- Guaranteed pure and natural by its certified organic status
- Designed to be side effect free and deliver outstanding rehydration
- Innovative formulation with natural and organic ingredients
- Hypoallergenic: formulated to minimise the risk of allergies
Why is Osmolality significant?
We mentioned Osmolality. 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 gentle ingredients. YES VM has been designed to match these vulnerable tissues in two ways. Firstly the pH is balanced to match typical vaginal pH (moderately acidic at pH3.7-4.5), and secondly, the strength and concentration of the ingredients used in YES VM also match these tissues. This ingredients’ strength or density is called Osmolality. YES VM is iso-osmotic to vaginal muscles, this means that it will rehydrate tissues that need it, but will not pull or push water into the tissues, unlike intense hypo or strongly hyperosmotic moisturisers, so minimising any chance of tissue damage.
How does YES VM work?
YES VM lubricates the vaginal area, the natural hydrocolloids (gums) are bio-adhesive, they gently hold on to the dry walls of the vagina and release water, where needed, rehydrating dry mucosa. When used regularly, YES VM will restore the natural protective acidity of the vagina.
Directions for using YES VM
Each carton or pack of YES VM contains a leaflet with detailed instructions for use. To summarise:
- The pre-filled applicators deliver the right amount of YES VM to where it is needed. Discreetly and hygienically.
- The 100ml tube of YES VM does not have an applicator; it is used for finger application to the outer and inner intimate areas. Many women experience dryness not just internally.
- 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.
- Guaranteed pure and natural by its certified organic status

LMX4 is a type of medicine called a local anaesthetic used to numb an area of the body.
LMX4 temporarily numbs the surface of the skin. It can be used to provide pain relief when a needle is inserted into the skin for clinical purposes, such as into a vein (venipuncture or venous cannulation). It may also be used to numb the skin prior to administration of painful topical treatments on larger surface areas of intact skin.
How to use LMX4 Lidocaine 4% Cream
Always use LMX4 exactly as instructed in this leaflet. Ask the doctor, nurse or other trained person involved in your treatment immediately if you have any questions.
How you use LMX4 depends upon why you are using the product. Make sure you follow the correct dosage. If you require further advice the doctor, nurse or other trained person involved in your treatment can either apply the cream for you, or show you where and how you should use the cream.
Precautions when using LMX4:

- Do not apply to raw or blistered skin, in the ear, inside the nose, in the mouth, to the anus (back passage), where there is a skin rash or eczema, or where there are cuts, grazes or wounds.
- Avoid getting LMX4 cream in your eyes, as it may cause irritation. If you accidentally get any in your eye, immediately rinse it well with lukewarm water or sodium chloride (salt) solution and protect it until sensation returns.
- LMX4 blocks all sensations in the treated area. Avoid scratching, rubbing and exposure to extreme hot and cold until the anaesthetic effect has worn off.
Dosage and how to apply LMX4 to provide pain relief when inserting a needle into the skin and a vein:
1g of cream is approximately equal to a 5cm length of cream squeezed from the 5g tube or 3.5cm squeezed from the 30g tube.

Activon Tulle Manuka Honey Dressings 10cm x 10cm - 5 Dressings
First AidIn stockMore InformationWhat are Activon Tulle Manuka Honey Dressings
Activon Tulle creates a moist healing environment and effectively eliminates wound odour whilst providing antibacterial action. Activon Tulle is ideally selected for granulating or shallow wounds, and it's a good choice when debriding or de-sloughing small areas of necrotic or sloughy tissue.
How to use Activon Tulle Manuka Honey Dressings
Activon Tulle has placed either side down onto the wound surface; dressings can be placed side by side to cover large wound areas or cut to size. Activon Tulle can be unfolded to cover larger areas, reducing the concentration of honey at the wound site.
Depending on the tissue type within the wound bed and level of exudate, your secondary dressing of choice could be a film or absorbent dressing. In wounds with a high level of exudate which can be expected initially with the use of honey, an additional highly absorbent dressing can be introduced to help manage exudate. We recommend the Eclypse super absorbent dressing.
Store at room temperature. Due to the nature of honey, it can solidify at cold temperatures become more liquidized at warmer temperatures. Suppose the product has hardened, warm between hands to soften before use. If the product has become too liquidized, place it in a colder place such as a fridge for a few minutes.
