Bought this after reading comments here. Had been using Replens on prescription but feel Yes is much kinder and better. Hopefully I can get it on prescription.
My question is how are you using it? I was using Replens internally via applicator every 3 days, but can see that Yes comes with no applicator presume for external use?
I think it is available with applicators too?
Grateful for advice.

Replens has bad reviews as it can cause more irritation than it eases.
Yes can be bought over the counter. Don't know about on a prescription. Using the finger is a gentle way of introducing treatments. Let us know how you get on.

You can get the YES water base lubricant on prescription in 5ml applicators and also buy online . The YES VM can be applied internally and externally with a finger as much as required. There is also an applicator that comes with YES waterbase in a tube online.

I have YES moisturiser on repeat prescription.
Mine is a 100 ml tube, no applicators. I just apply as often as needed throughout The day, externally, but also as a lubricant during sex. I find a lot of lines irritating, but The YES is very kind to my skin.
I also use ovestin, with applicator each night too. ( Ovestin externally stings, hence the yes)

Thanks all.
I am amazed at the better results with Yes. It seems to be the right Ph and very kind. Well done whoever developed it!

I use the Yes washing foam, it's so gentle along with Vagifem pessaries. ITS £12 a pop though but cannot use anything else. I had no idea Yes range was on prescription! Thanks for sharing

I am using it with Vagifem pessaries also and for the first time in a long time I feel pretty normal down there. I have the Yes external application 100ml tube and the pre-filled applicators for internal application on prescription. My Dr was very empathetic and said she will prescribe Yes more often for women.

So good to hear your symptoms have improved Mouse. :)

When I was having trouble down there, I used Yes VM from a tube and bought applicators from Amazon. I just used the tiniest amount (prob 2.5ml) at bedtime every night. Happy to say that since I restarted HRT I don't need it any more.
