Coconut oil sounds great, its smooth, slippery, some think it’s the perfect partner, right?

Wrong!

Unfortunately, it’s not a perfect match for our Vaginas. Coconut oil is naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal, and it's because of this that coconut oil can alter your vagina’s natural pH balance. This can lead to unwanted yeast infections, especially if you’re prone to them. And being oil-based makes it non-compatible with condoms.

If you're concerned about the ingredients in your lubricant and are looking for a sensitive skin safe lubricant, Sylk could be just what you're looking for. Sylk is the only personal lubricant made from bio-sustainable kiwi fruit vine extract.

Amazingly kiwi vine extract is the perfect ingredient for a personal lubricant because it’s naturally odourless, greaseless, stainless and non-sticky.  Importantly SYLK is pH controlled within the limits of 4.5-4.7 (slightly acidic) which matches the normal vaginal environment. Keeping the pH balance right is important because the slightly acidic environment of the vagina keeps it hostile to nasty bacteria. When the pH balance is upset, infections can take hold.

SYLK DOES NOT contain any petrochemicals, silicon, parabens, hormones, fragrances, colouring, or any ingredients derived from animals. Offers immediate relief to vaginal dryness and Yes, SYLK is vegan friendly!

Vaginal Dryness

It is perfectly natural for women to experience vaginal dryness during certain stages of life. If it’s any comfort at all, know that you are not alone. While sex may be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a personal lubricant, SYLK can help in other ways too.

Many women choose SYLK to ease the discomfort that results from vaginal dryness. When women experience changes in their hormone levels, sometimes the body doesn’t produce enough lubrication. When this occurs, it can lead to soreness, burning or itching, which can often make it uncomfortable to be intimate, sit, stand or exercise.

The reasons WHY vary from woman to woman, such as menopause, taking certain medications and having certain medical procedures, breastfeeding, gynaecological problems, diet, over exercising, stress, or even general tiredness.

Vaginal dryness can affect our everyday lives, whether we are sexually active or not. Whatever the cause, choosing SYLK will give you a sense of natural lubrication keeping you hydrated and pH balanced, whilst being gentle and soothing to delicate vaginal tissues.
