Title: YES Products - which one is best?
Post by: Snowcat on October 24, 2025, 04:34:14 PM

Hi everyone.  I am slowly recovering from vulval atrophy which I’m very thankful for - at the moment I’m on Estraderm 75 patches, vagifem & estrogen cream plus hydromol for 2 small areas of lichen sclerosus. 

I want to use a moisturiser instread of the hydromol if possible but only for the outside ‘bits’ as the vagifem is doing a great job on its own.  I contacted YES and they recommended their coco moisturiser which comes with applicators, however I’m not wanting to use it internally.  Has anyone used the YES coco moisturiser on the external vulval area and was it helpful please? I’m not sure whether to try that or the  YES VM. They said it’s more nourishing but being an oil it won’t be PH balanced and I do keep getting thrush …

Any help much appreciated!
