Vaginal Moisturisers Australia

A lubricant reduces friction while you use it. A vaginal moisturiser is applied on a schedule, usually every two or three days, so the skin stays comfortable in between. Plenty of people use both.

If skin only feels dry during sex, a lubricant on its own may be all you need. If it feels dry day to day, when you walk, sit or wear tighter clothes, a moisturiser is the product doing the between-times work, and a lubricant is still worth having for the moment itself. YES VM is designed for routine use. Olive & Bee does both jobs, as a daily cream and as an oil-based lubricant.

Apply a small amount to the vulva, or inside the vagina with a clean fingertip or the pre-filled applicator, at the same time each day or every couple of days, usually at night so it isn't disturbed.

YES VM can be used daily or every two to three days, whichever your skin needs, because the gel keeps releasing moisture across that window. The 5 ml applicators give one measured dose each and travel well. Olive & Bee is a cream: a pea-sized amount, as often as you like, and the same jar works as a lubricant before sex. Give any new product a couple of weeks before you judge it, and talk to your GP or a pelvic health physiotherapist if discomfort keeps coming back.

Water, plant gums and aloe vera in YES VM. Olive oil and beeswax in Olive & Bee. That is the full list for both, apart from the small amount of preservative and pH adjuster a water-based gel needs to stay stable in a tube.

Neither contains hormones, glycerin, parabens, propylene glycol, fragrance or flavour. Glycerin is the one worth knowing about: it's a sugar alcohol, and it's a common culprit when an intimate product stings, which is why nothing on this page contains it. YES VM's plant ingredients are certified organic and the gel is pH-matched to the vagina's typical range. Olive & Bee is made in Australia. Full ingredient lists are on each product page.

Choose YES VM if you want something that feels like nothing once it's absorbed, can be used internally as well as externally, and is water-based, so it's fine with latex condoms and silicone toys. Choose Olive & Bee if you prefer a richer cream that sits on the skin as a barrier and want one jar for daily use and for sex, and you aren't relying on latex condoms, because oil and latex don't mix.

If you're unsure, the gel is the more common starting point, and it pairs with any lubricant for the moment itself. The full personal lubricants range covers the in-the-moment side.
