Description
Sylk Single Use Applicators
Six pre-filled single use applicators, perfect for storing with other intimate items in your handbag whilst out and about. Sylk natural lubricant & moisturiser uses natural, safe ingredients that are unlikely to irritate the delicate vaginal area.

Senior Menopause Nurse Kathy Abernethy comments, “Single-dose applicators provide women with a convenient, easy and discreet way of using lubricants/vaginal moisturisers. They are great for ‘high up’ application and are mess-free. They can easily be stored in handbags so you always have one to hand. 3ml is more than sufficient for a single application. My patients will welcome this addition to the Sylk range.”
How to use
- Snap the top off the applicator – you may need to bend it backwards and forwards a few times.
- Hold the wide end and squeeze gently to encourage the product to the top of the nozzle.
- Insert narrow end only into vagina and squeeze gently a few times . You can stand, sit or lie down to insert the applicator – however feels most comfortable.
- Gently remove the applicator from your vagina and discard straight away after use.
- Our applicators are recyclable- check your local recycling for further information.
What our customers say
“Sylk feels just as its name suggests – it’s a silky feeling moisturising gel that provides instant relief to vaginal dryness. It ticks every possible ‘box’ – from the outer packaging to the inner contents:
- The box has a nice neutral appearance (neither ‘medical’ nor embarrassingly ‘sexual’).
- The applicators are well designed with an easy snap-off top and are easy to use, providing instant soothing to sensitive tissue.
- Best of all the dryness-relieving clear gel has no stickiness or perfume, and is stain free.
Sylk is a quality product, and provides effective long lasting relief to women with a variety of intimate needs since it is safe to use with tampons or condoms, and during pregnancy, or with condoms.”

Since starting the menopause I have tried several intimate lubricants to no avail as they seemed to either irritate more or wear off quickly but with the all natural Sylk it was the opposite and I am so happy to have found one that works. Before, sex was uncomfortable and not pleasurable but it has helped with the chafing, burning and itching that happened every time so it has definitely helped my sex life, because of that I would rate it 5/5 as it is safe to use too, with no nasty chemicals. I would recommend this product to friends as I was very pleased with the results. ”

So glad to find you again, albeit buying direct rather than through an intermediary. We have been using Sylk for at least ten years. Nothing else we have tried matches it. So natural and not oily like many others.
Annie (verified owner) –
Really.like this lubricant. Not smelly or greasy. Used it for years and has taken me right through menopause and beyond
Jo (verified owner) –
This is the best lubricant ever. Originally recommended by my GP as I went through the menopause, it brought comfort during everyday life. I was quite devastated when it disappeared from the market and relieved now back again. It feels so natural. I hightly recommend this.
Meg (verified owner) –
For about 4 years I suffered with painful vaginal dryness following early menopause. I’ve tried everything – literally. Sylk is AMAZING. So soothing, especially externally. I’m even having good sex again! And I love that it’s completely natural. I carry it with me!
Douglas (verified owner) –
Brilliant product. Highly recommended.
Maureen (verified owner) –
It is great stuff , i have been using it for over 8 years , Given to me the first time by my doctor on prescription. Now i have to buy it from you.
Anne (verified owner) –
After trying so many products that make me burn including prescription vaginal oestrogen I was at my wits end.The oestrogen cream caused so much inflammation then I tried the pessaries that gave me thrush & bv .I tried other popular lubes but they also burnt so I was prescribed this by my doctor & it was so cooling & no burn at all .no irritation you can pop it in your bag & use anywhere.Its gone off prescription now but I found it on here on their website on offer and a bigger tube.Ordered two tubes of 100ml as it was on offer and it’s just as good as the prescribed stuff if not better.No burning no irritation just cooling and definitely helps with vaginal atrophy and lichen sclerosis.Would recommend to anyone.Nothing bad to say about it.Definitely a natural moisturiser with no nasties.Its a clear cool gel like lube only it doesn’t irritate your delicate bits .great for those with sensitive bits & I would imagine a great help in the bedroom with your partner.
Joyce (verified owner) –
I was first prescribed Sylk by my consultant. It has made a very big difference to me as I now no longer suffer from vaginal dryness. I have been using it for quite a long time now and wouldn’t be without it. It is so quick and simple to apply and I am very happy with the fact that it is produced from natural ingredients.
jim (verified owner) –
tried a cheaper alternative but was disappointed with result so reverted to ordering sylk again so all happy now..
Sue (verified owner) –
Great to be using Sylk again. I purchased an alternative product when Sylk was temporarily unavailable some time back – there was simply no comparison and I’m relieved Sylk is so readily available online again. I’m not a fan of the new tube style packaging however, having managed to twist the lid right off during the initial opening process and it’s rather a large quantity for something you need just a few drops of. Any chance of a small-sized discrete bottle suitable for travel? It’s an everyday essential as far as I’m concerned and this would be a wonderful bonus for holidays and away days.
Nicola (verified owner) –
Made a massive difference.
C (verified owner) –
Excellent. Used this product for years, really helps with vaginal dryness.
M (verified owner) –
Suffered with very dry painful vagina since going through the menopause in my early 40s. Did everything was told to, no perfumed soap shower gels no bubble baths but every so often the pain would be unbearable. It was a mixture of severe dryness and a burning pain. Dr wouldn’t give me HRT cream she said because I was overweight. I came across Sylk, after seeing a leaflet in a surgery, actually years ago but didn’t think it would help. Happy to say have been using this for few years, it really does sooth the burning hell that occurs down below, also lubricating the dryness. With other changes, no perfumed hygiene products, only cotton underwear, no tight fitting vagina hugging clothes, the symptoms are less and come and go. I really recommend this product it really changed my life.

Having been diagnosed with endometrial cancer and advised to immediately stop using an oestrogen-based pessary prescribed for vaginal atrophy, I was very worried how I would cope – with chemotherapy, and soon a hysterectomy. My very empathetic doctor at The Christie (Manchester cancer treatment centre) recommended Sylk, and the very empathetic chemotherapy nurse looked online for how I could order it (now it is supplied directly by you, and I didn’t know the correct spelling!). The package arrived very promptly, and I use Sylk regularly – just a few drops every day. I no longer worry about “what happens without oestrogen-based HRT”. Thank you, Sylk, and thank you for working with the cancer charities.
Alina (verified owner) –
Ohhhh My God ! Is a real Blessing!!! Thank you , those who made it possible that Sylk is on the market … I feel I got my life back.. Not enough words to express my gratitude.. for me nothing worked before Sylk… every day a different item…. And I have been extremely lucky to chose Sylk… and for the very first moment I felt the difference! Bless you all. Thank you
Kim (verified owner) –
I’ve used Sylk in the past before. I needed to start using it again. It’s a nice intimate moisturiser. Not much is needed to make a difference. It makes me feel better in myself.
Wendy (verified owner) –
Such a good product works very well and now in a tube – makes it very easy to apply. So pleased with this product it is so much better than any other lubricants available.
I am spreading the word to friends who have problems, but like me, due to breast cancer and are no longer able to have HRT
Allison (verified owner) –
After having treatment for breast cancer I found that one side effect from the tablets (Anastrozol) was vaginal dryness and discomfort all around the vulva area. I could not have eostrogen based products as my cancer was hormone fed and my doctor kindly contacted the Gynaeacology dept at our hospital to find a product that I could use safely. Sylk was prescribed and what a difference it has made! I am now pain free, I can sit, dance, wear trousers and make love with my husband again. I feel like a new woman!! Thank you.
Tina (verified owner) –
Have been suffering from vaginal dryness for several years now, but nothing seemed to calm the dreadful burning and soreness, until a GP friend recommended I try Sylk. Together with Vaginal HRT and a first application of Sylk, the fiery furnace “down below” was calmed down and as a consequence, life in many ways became so much more comfortable. Will certainly sing the praises of Sylk to any of my friends and family who are suffering similar symptoms.
Lesley (verified owner) –
I am 84 & 2 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 2 Cancer of the Womb. After my full Hysterectomy, Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy, my consultant at Guys Cancer Centre gave me a package & told me I was required to dilate twice weekly. In this I found a couple of packets of Sylk. I’ve been using this excellent product ever since. Apart from that the service we are given is brilliant.
Pauline (verified owner) –
How wonderful to find a product that is natural, and so easy to use. So many similar products are sticky and unpleasant to use, but Sylk is different. I would highly recommend it to anyone experiencing vaginal dryness.
Nathalie (verified owner) –
Great product, but I prefer the previous smaller bottles.
I have tried other lubricants. None of them match Sylk. Thank you.
Joanne (verified owner) –
This product is absolutely fantastic I was going through such a horrible time with my menopause and the sylk product was like magic I highly recommend this product.
Pam (verified owner) –
Sylk is quite the most amazing product, I have been using it for so many years now that I can’t remember how I came to know about it but used to have it on prescription until it became unavailable for some time and then I was really in trouble, tried all sorts with no success. It was a happy day when I heard it was back in stock. Just ordered again, not all that keen on the new larger tube but that’s just my preference. This product gets 5 stars from me !!!
Janice (verified owner) –
I have tried other moisturisers and this is the most gentle, fragrance free and non irritating I’ve used.
Please do not stop making, the 100ml size is great addition too.
Alongside eostrogen cream it is a lifesaver and helps with painful dryness and prolapse.
Janet (verified owner) –
Brilliant product.Only one I don’t get reaction to. I was getting it on prescription but it has been unavailable. Will I be able to get it on prescription in the future.
Hollie –
Hi Janet, Thank you for your review. As of Sept 2024, we are working towards applying for the 100ml product to be available on NHS prescription, until then it will be only be available on our website. Thanks again.

Kathryn –
It was recommended for me by my GP and is a life saver to keep enjoying a painless sex life. I forgot to take it on holiday two years ago and never want to be without it again. Please keep supplying we are very grateful for the help.
Veronica –
It is the only cream/lotion I have found that doesn’t sting when applied or shortly afterwards and has made intercourse the pleasure it should be again. Thank you.
Rosie –
A game changing product, what a relief to find something that makes such a difference.
Deborah (verified owner) –
This product was a lifesaver for me & my husband. I was devastated when the product was no longer available because there is no other alternative that comes anywhere near as good as this to use. Sylk feels so natural and knowing it is now going to be available again has just made my husband a very excited man. I normally get this on prescription but I am happy to pay for it to help get our romantic nights back. Thank you
Veronica –
Absolutely delighted this amazing product is back in stock
Thank you for getting in touch
Good luck to you all
Jackie –
Thank you for sending me a new Sylk , good to see you supplying again, I am allowed it on prescription can Dr issue it again, I can’t find another product as good as this.
Christine –
I used Sylk Intimate and I had the first pain free intercourse in years. My partner has prostate cancer so he gets anxious and finds getting an erection difficult. But when he does it’s like old times, especially using Sylk products to help me.
Nicola Davies –
Thank you Christine, it’s wonderful to hear Sylk has helped you.
Joanne (verified owner) –
I received a free sample to try, then had to buy some. I usually end up with thrush after using a lubricant, but not with this, it’s great. It really does make a difference without any nasty side effects.
Sarah –
Fantastic product! Having gone through early menopause,being scared to have intercourse because of vaginal dryness and pain,you have saved my sex life! Brilliant for alone time too, guarantees an O ending:-)
Barbara (verified owner) –
I’m 76, and since a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer over 25 years ago have suffered severe vaginal dryness – a problem that no-one ever told me might occur and one I didn’t expect to happen. At times, everything is “just” extremely itchy. But at other times there is such dryness that the discomfort and pain can be mistaken for a UTI infection. I’m unable to use any preparation containing oestrogen because my cancer was an oestrogen cancer, so many of the preparations GPs prescribe are not suitable for me. About 12 months ago a gynaecologist suggested Sylk, and it has revolutionised my life. Now I make certain I always have a good supply so I don’t have to endure that terrible discomfort you can’t describe. Sylk is non-irritating, very gentle and soothing, leaves no stains on clothing, is super easy to apply, fragrance free – and it definitely works! I would definitely recommend it, and the website offer is fantastic.
Sylk Team –
Thank you Barbara. It’s wonderful to hear how Sylk has helped you!

I was given a free sample at a ‘Moving On after Breast cancer’ course. It’s brilliarnt> My body was in pretty poor shape after local recurrence, and repalcement reconstruction, chemo and radiotherapy. Sylk is so gentle and natural. My husband and I are enjoying love making perhaps more than we have for yearws. Pity I didnt know about it when I was younger 🙂
Mary-Anne (verified owner) –
Excellent product. Fragrance free with a very natural consistency. Rehydrates and moisturises delicate skin. Would recommend it to anyone having to take oestrogen suppressant pills because of cancer who find sex uncomfortable as a result.
Sarah (verified owner) –
A great product, easy to use and no fragrance. Would recommend it highly especially to post menopausal women.
Leah (verified owner) –
I have recently had an operation and I require to dilate on a daily basis. Sylk has made this a lot easier and less messy than many other products. Two drops does the job and caused no friction or discomfort. I reommend this product to friends who are experiencing issues.
Cheryl (verified owner) –
I first came across Sylk when I sent for a free sample. I was so impressed with it that I ordered the product. You only need a small amount to take away the discomfort of dryness and it’s pleasant to use, no sticky mess after.
Sue (verified owner) –
Sylk has kept my happy sex life pain (and tear) free. I am now over 70 years old and have been using it since my menopause 25 years ago. Thank you Sylk for all the fun and pleasure.
