Hello All
There's an article in today's Guardian about sex after hysterectomy for ovarian cancer which I thought might be of interest. It's a letter sent to their sex therapist but there is also a comments section if any of you have advice you'd be willing to share. The link is here: theguardian.com/lifeandstyl...
This reminded me that a few weeks ago I found some links to information I wanted to share. At our Health and Wellbeing Day we had a stall from The YES YES Company, who provide vaginal moisturisers and lubricants, which I know many of you have found beneficial. For anyone who missed the information or couldn't attend the day, their website is here: yesyesyes.org/
Lavinia from The YES YES Company directed me to Jo Divine, which is a sex toy company, however Sam Evans, the co-founder, is a former nurse and so the company only sells skin-safe products and their website has health information on it as well as all the products. Here are some links to their information which some of you may find useful.

I have some paper copies of the brochure so if you'd like one, please message me and I'll post it out to you.
