Sylk 40g is NHS approved
Trusted by nurses and doctors
Sylk is a water based natural vaginal lubricant suitable for treatment of vaginal dryness, and available on NHS prescription.
Many women will present with symptoms that they do not recognise as vaginal dryness, confusing the issue with thrush or cystitis. Sylk is widely prescribed for menopausal women but can also be used safely by all women suffering with dryness and discomfort.
Sylk natural lubricant is recommended by Health Professionals including The Royal College of Nursing, The UK Menopause Nurse Group, British Menopause Society, Relate & Macmillan.
Free samples and information leaflets are available for your patients.
We believe in giving back
The Sylk Bursary
We have set up a bursary with The UK Menopause Nurse Group to provide ongoing educational support to nurses. 2p from every Sylk sale goes towards The Sylk Bursary which enables nurses to further their knowledge and training on menopause by attending courses and study days. For more information, email [email protected]
The Eve Appeal
Intimate health & wellbeing is very important to us, so we have decided that for the next year, we will be donating 7p from every Sylk sale (up to max £10,000) to The Eve Appeal – the only UK charity raising awareness and funds into the 5 gynaecological cancers. Can you name all 5?
