What is YES WB?
YES WB is a plant-based personal lubricant designed to reduce friction and support comfort during intimacy. Its water-based formulation is intended to feel similar to natural moisture.
It is used when lubrication is needed and may be reapplied as required. It does not provide the same longer-lasting hydration as a vaginal moisturiser.
YES WB does not contain oestrogen or another hormone and does not require a prescription.
Where YES WB fits
The right option depends on whether you need immediate lubrication, ongoing moisturising support or assessment for a prescription treatment.
| Treatment option | How it fits |
|---|---|
| YES WB Lubricant | A hormone-free water-based lubricant used when immediate lubrication is needed, particularly during intimacy. |
| YES VM | A vaginal moisturiser used regularly to support longer-lasting hydration and everyday vaginal comfort. |
| Vaginal oestrogen | Local vaginal oestrogen treatments such as Gina, Vagifem, Blissel and estriol/Ovestin may be considered where dryness, soreness or urinary symptoms are linked to low oestrogen. |
| Intrarosa | A prescription vaginal pessary containing prasterone, considered where clinically appropriate. |
