If you're not a horse... why would you take horse pee hormones?

When it comes to skincare, we knew women needed something that actually worked - without breaking the bank or using 102993757923 different products - or using products that are just plain weird... But, this is easier said than done. After a year in development, where we tried multiple formulations and explored new and exciting elements to skin care (like NAD!) here is the inside scoop on MoreWOW!

Up next in our case studies, we have our 53 year old client, who will be discussing her symptoms and her hormone supplementation routine with Dr. Robyn to give everyone more insight into our saliva hormone testing, hormone consultation, hormone replacement therapies - and how unique everyone's hormone profile really is!

Our case studies explore a team members' hormone report, as Dr. Robyn walks them through the report results, the symptomatology, possible options, and much more. These case studies are designed to show you the saliva testing results in more depth, and give you a better understanding of what different results mean.

When it comes to Silky Peach, Vibrant Third, ReBounce, and Chaos Calmer - you need to know how to use, how to tell if the cream is working, or if you are using too much. This blog takes you through how to use each of our creams, so you can be a hormone expert in no time!

Let's face it, UTI's have always been a pain in the (front) butt, but often - we knew why we were getting them... (perhaps having sex that third time/on the beach wasn't such a great idea!). However, as we get older, it can feel like we get UTI's much more easily, and for no good reason, so what gives?

We all know our breasts can change - from periods to pregnancy - and yes, in menopause. Let's take a closer look at breast tissue and breast changes from peri-menopause onwards!

As more and more women spread the word of Silky Peach, Vibrant Third, ReBounce - and our other awesome products, we have expanded our customer base to women of many ages - even over 100! One of the common questions we are asked, about all our products is, 'I am {x} years past menopause, will this help me?'

As women get further past menopause, hormone production gradually declines as the various glands no longer make hormones. It's for this reason that women turn to hormone supplementation. It's fantastic that women do now have more choices.

Our ReBalancing Bundle is a blissful combo of Silky Peach Estriol (sometimes called SP) and Vibrant Third Progesterone (or 'V3') to help get your menopause - and your life - back on track, because, no matter your age, you CAN feel amazing!

You're out having coffee with the girls and someone tells a great joke... you're running for that nasty drop shot on the pickleball court... you're taking the grandkids to the trampoline park... you're in the park with your baby and your allergies act up... What do all these scenarios have in common? Pee Risk Category? DEFCON 1.

What is a hormone receptor, and how do they work? On the inside of every cell there are a large number of molecules called receptors. These receptors are the eyes and the ears of the cell, waiting for messages which they then act upon.

We all know that bacteria – good or bad - are part of life. We can keep the bad ones at bay with food and other lifestyle choices, as well as not slicing our fingers on rusty nails. But, to truly understand bacteria (the good and the bad) we have to dig a little deeper...

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced by the ovaries and the adrenal glands that plays a crucial role in the body's hormone balance. DHEA levels decline as women and men age, and the decrease in DHEA production is associated with various age related symptoms. In this blog, we'll discuss DHEA use, how it works, what it does, and its benefits and risks.

Bliss is a Brain in Balance

You wake up energized. You’re crushing your to-do list and it’s not even 10am. You’ve got so much work done, you can take that hour lunch to get a workout in. 5 mile run? Easy. Laundry? Done. New ideas to pitch the boss? All amazing. You’ve got dinner prepped by 4pm. You are a goddess of cool, calm, collectedness.

We all know what it is like to have those days; engaged, relaxed, focused, calm, just on it. This is when the brain is balanced, and for many people, is the definition of bliss. It’s not just a feeling, science says there’s some chemicals involved too…

Did you know you’re basically made of bacteria? Yup, and this is a good thing. Because that bacteria does a whole lot for you, from breaking down your food, to guarding your vagina like it’s the entrance to Nirvana (and hey, maybe it is).

Ever wonder what exactly is causing your particular selection of troubles? It can be easy to use the blanket term 'menopause', but actually, there are some specific areas of concern that can link symptoms and give you a better insight into what you need...

Every woman’s health and hormone history is as unique as her fingerprints. In perimenopause, menopause, and beyond, our hormones start to shift – some decline, others get imbalanced, and there aren’t a lot of resources to help us.

This can leave many women feeling alone and frustrated (and that’s not including all the wretched symptoms like hot flashes, weight changes, vaginal dryness, foggy thinking, and mood swings.)

Who remembers the days where you fell, delightfully tired, into bed, soft warm covers around you and slept for seven maybe eight solid hours? For many women – that is a loooong time ago. Falling into bed now can mean tossing and turning until two in the morning with a scant 3-4 hours of decent sleep. No wonder we have 'menobrain' – sleep can be hard to come by during and after menopause and lack of sleep will quickly fry a brain. Part of this has to do with hormone and neurotransmitter changes and a fair amount has to do with stress as well... so, what can we do?

“It’s as if I’m sewn shut.”
“It feels like even a finger would be too much.”
“My partner can barely get inside me before it hurts too much to carry on.”

When we talk about hormones, it’s easy to think of estrogen as a single type, but actually, there are three different types of estrogen, each with unique features. Silky Peach uses estriol and, for good reason; to better understand this, let’s take a look at estrone, estradiol, and estriol.

We get asked a lot about weight gain in menopause. What causes it? Is estrogen responsible? Will HRT make me gain weight? Is it just bloating? And, what the heck can I do about it? Weight seems simple, but as we age, weight actually DOES get more complex, hormones DO play a role, and you do need to be more considerate of a variety of factors....

Let's not keep you weighting... read on!

Laugh Lines? Bunny Wrinkles? Cleavage Crinkles? There’s nothing wrong with showing a little texture on the map of your life, but sometimes, we want a little help in the wrinkle department.

Estrogen is estrogen is estrogen.... right? ❌ Nope, not all estrogens are created equal, and it is crucial that you know how different estrogens play a role in our bodies. Read on to find out...

When it comes to the subject of menopause, there's one topic that's often swept under the rug—vaginal atrophy. If you're unfamiliar with this term, you might be squinting your eyes right now and saying, "Vaginal what-now?"

Well, buckle up because we're about to dive deep into the world of vaginal health.

How do I know my Vibrant Third Progesterone is actually working?

Welcome to Menopause 101; your new favorite science class.

When you think about all the things you get to enjoy in your golden years, we can guess what comes to mind; hot flashes, night sweats, low energy, weight gain, loss of sexual desire, vaginal dryness, breast tenderness…

Toddlers, maybe a new baby or two, a career, date night, girls night, that cycle class you love, sorting out the bills, the laundry, planning your next vacay… You’ve ditched the worries (and nightclubs) of your twenties, finally found a pair of jeans that work for your body, and now you’re juggling your career, your kids, and finding time to live your best life.

So basically, you’re just somewhere between energetic and perma-exhausted…

Welcome to your thirties.

Much has been written about the alcohol and health…some say a little resveratrol in red wine is a good thing, while other research clearly shows that too much alcohol has a major impact on the health of our organs and body systems.

When it comes to brain health, our hormones play a significant role, but for many women in menopause brain fog, mood changes, and forgetfulness are considered par for the course and we are left to manage them with coffee, supplements, or sheer willpower. But, the science shows that there are solutions to this problem - something we explore in this blog!

Think you've got the run-down on your low-down? Well, everything can run just fine until peri-menopause, then all of a sudden... things can get a little bit more complicated! Check out our top tips from the experts for keeping your Lady Bits in tip top condition.

Let's talk about acne. Oh, did you think you’d left that behind in high school? The truth is, acne can show up at any age, especially for women who have more hormonal imbalances throughout their lives (thanks periods and pregnancies… and of course, perimenopause).

Sweaty Betty? Sticky Sally? Fiery Fiona… What's actually happening inside your body during this fiery (and let’s face it, awful) experience?

Stress has become an omnipresent force affecting people of all ages and backgrounds - but it seems to be particularly present in perimenopause and beyond, with women reporting anxiety and stress high up in the list of meno-symptoms they wish they could ditch. The demands of work, personal relationships, and societal expectations contribute to a constant state of tension. Understanding the root causes of stress is the first step towards managing and mitigating its effects.

Unlike normal feelings of frustration or even anger, in perimenopause, many women report intense feelings of irritation, resentment, and well... rage, in just a matter of moments. A bit like a hot flash that comes out of nowhere, these feelings can be triggered by things you normally wouldn't have batted an eye at - but suddenly, in perimenopause, a red mist descends leaving you incandescent and your loved ones wondering what the heck is happening.

Moody, hormonal, bitchy, weepy, emotional, PMS'ing... women have heard it all - pretty much before we even get our first period.

Why don't you use the word vagina? Or Vulva? You need to use the anatomical terms!

We know, we know.... we would love to - but sadly certain social media platforms deem these words profane, adult, and inappropriate (we have screenshotted proof!). And, well, some of the euphemisms are pretty fun (Velvet glove, growler, south mouth...). However, some of the anatomical terms, though they might sound scientific, have roots that are a little less legitimacy than we might like.

Let's take a look!

My doctor prescribed me estradiol and that didn’t work, so why would this?! We hear this ALOT! Before we answer that question, the first thing we need to understand is estrogen itself...

In the quest for a fulfilling and healthy life, we often find ourselves seeking the elixir of longevity. While various factors contribute to the aging process, emerging research suggests that the key to unlocking the secrets of a long and vibrant life might be hidden within our social circles. Let's take a look at the profound impact of friends, social engagement, and group activities on cognition as we age, drawing parallels with the Blue Zone theory of aging and highlighting the protective factors that different types of relationships offer against aging and disease.

You know, menopause is a bit like that uninvited party guest. It pops up out of nowhere, overstays its welcome, and brings with it some rather unwelcome presents. (Thanks, but no thanks, hot flashes, and night sweats.)

Testosterone, often regarded as a predominantly male hormone, plays a crucial role in both men and women, albeit in differing quantities. While women typically have lower levels of testosterone compared to men, it remains a vital hormone influencing various aspects of their health.

Did you know that food can affect your mood (and your hormones)? We talk about this with estrogen a lot, but other hormones and neurotransmitters can also benefit! These foods might support the production or activity of these hormones and neurotransmitters, but it's essential to maintain a balanced diet. Incorporating a variety of nutrient-dense foods, staying hydrated, and avoiding excessive processed foods and sugars can positively impact overall hormone balance and mental well-being.

Remember, hormone testing and BHRT are great options if you have more significant imbalances, but diet can definitely help too!

There aren't many things worse than extreme vaginal itching... rubbing your crotch constantly? Feeling like your labia and clitoris are on fire? Wanting to rip the whole thing off? Trying to avoid toilet paper, pants, and as for sex? Get real. Will icing it work? What about anti-itch creams?

Then you try Silky Peach Estriol cream... but you're still feeling itchy, so what gives?

In the world of natural hormone therapies, yams have emerged as a popular source for progesterone. Yet, the path from a humble yam to a hormone-balancing cream isn't as straightforward as it might seem. Let's unravel the nuances between bioidentical progesterone creams derived from yams, wild yam supplements, creams, and the simple act of consuming yams, especially in the context of their effects on menopausal women.

What is Clitoral Atrophy? Does it differ from Vaginal Atrophy? What does it mean for my vulva, and my sex life?! We often get asked whether Silky Peach will help with Clitoral Atrophy; similar to vaginal atrophy, clitoral atrophy is common in menopause, but it is often overlooked or misunderstood. The clitoris, a sensitive and vital part of female sexual anatomy, can undergo changes due to various factors, leading to this condition. Understanding its causes, symptoms, impact on sexual health, and available treatments is crucial to support those affected and address this issue effectively.

Ladies, let's talk about something that's been whispered about in hushed tones, often surrounded by myths and misconceptions. Having problems 'downstairs' in the 'ladies parts' department? You know, the dryness, discomfort, and the 'why does it feel like the Sahara Desert down there' kind of issues?

Turns out, it's not just you and it's not a secret society! This troublesome guest is known as vaginal atrophy. But before you start picturing your hooha as an old, shriveled apple (there’s a mental image), let's debunk some of those scary myths.

Don't be a bone head... be bone smart!

Osteopenia and osteoporosis are serious concerns as we age - for good reason - both hormonal changes and aging in general can increase the risk of both, especially for women - so what can we do about it?

Did you know that a baby is bathed in estriol for 9 months when it is in utero? This hormone plays a key role in child development, but also in postpartum health. It's gentle nature means it causes no ill effects to male or female babies, but after childbirth, fluctuating hormones can wreak havoc on women, in what has been dubbed the 'fourth trimester'.

When UTI's strike, it can leave us doubled over in pain and desperate for relief... even more so when they just keep on coming. You might have chronic, or recurrent, bladder infections if you have two or more bladder infections in six months or three or more infections in a year. The issue with these types of UTI's is that they can increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, as well as bladder and kidney issues - but there are ways to minimize our risk and maintain bladder health!

Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life, but it can bring about some uncomfortable changes. One of these is vaginal atrophy, a condition affecting over 50% of women in menopause causing painful itching and dryness. But don't fret, ladies, there's a new star on the horizon—bioidentical estrogen creams.

Why is perimenopause so awful for so many women? What quietly breaks my heart is that women experience such a wide range of symptoms when their hormones start to change, that they can end up divorced, out of a job, have to switch to part time, feeling terrible about themselves and utterly miserable. And the worst part? Many women have NO IDEA what is going on. We are not educated about menopause, and we can all experience it so differently that it can be hard to figure out what the heck is going on - especially when doctors often offer little help, and the internet is rife with misinformation.

Eat your leafy greens is a great mantra to live by for a long and healthy life. Platefuls of lettuce, and kale, and spinach, and chard, will surely keep you feeling nutritionally strong and ready to take on the world, for ever and ever. Yes, it can seem the route to world domination is, in fact, through consumption of leafy greens.

Ah, but hold on there... Let’s check this theory out. Can there be too many leafy greens? Well, like many things in life, it’s possible to have too much of a good thing…especially when it comes to the oxalates found in some green leafies.

Sugar has become an integral part of our modern diet. From desserts to drinks, it seems to be (and is) lurking everywhere. While it may bring temporary pleasure to our taste buds, the science behind sugar reveals a darker side. In this blog, we will delve into why sugar is bad for you, what it does to your body and brain (and your menopause!), where it hides in your food, and give you some tips to ditch the sweet stuff!

Greetings, wise women of the world! Today, we embark on a mystical journey through time and space to uncover the ancient secrets of menopause remedies that have been passed down through generations - a.k.a., we weren't getting help from Doctors back then (kinda like how we aren't still), and so we figured stuff out on our own! As we venture through different cultures, we've got some scientific stardust to verify or debunk these folk remedies.... And some? They simply don't have answers (we're looking at you honey!), but they are fun to learn about, and you can always give them a try!

What Can Bioidentical Estriol Do BEFORE Menopause? In our 30’s, we often think we’ve got things all figured out… Then we get married, or kids come along, we get promoted, or change careers, and suddenly stress has built up and we can’t figure out why things are hurting, or why ailments start popping up.

Did you know that a simple cream could be the key to easing your perimenopausal symptoms? It's true. Our bodies are incredible machines, yet, during perimenopause, they often feel out of sync.

Imagine a solution that could help restore hormonal balance and ease those pesky side effects. Introducing bioidentical progesterone cream, a natural and effective solution for women experiencing perimenopause. It's safe and uniquely designed for you.

Here are some facts:

✅ Many women experience pain or discomfort during sex
✅ Painful sex is more common post menopause
✅ Painful sex does have causes and treatment options

Sadly, many women hear the opposite. They feel isolated and broken - thinking that no one else has this issue. It does not help that it is not talked about, and often, doctors don’t help all that much.

When it comes to health fads, some of them are easy to rule out… but others seem like they might actually help. This is because some of them actually DO help, AND are rooted in science. With that in mind, we decided to round up some of the most common health fads of the last few years that can actually help you live a better life, and explore the science behind them.

Buckle up, this is a big one - we are covering intermittent fasting, ice plunges, collagens/colostrums, and some magic mushrooms!

Welcome to the exciting world of menopause - the phase that brings about wisdom, experience, and sometimes, a stray gray... (or two)! As we embark on this hairy adventure, we'll explore the mysteries of hair loss, thinning, and texture changes during menopause, and uncover the secrets to maintaining a fabulous head of hair. From quirky old wives' tales to cutting-edge treatments, let's dive into the realm of hair care during menopause and discover the best ways to keep those strands shimmering!

What DO you do when your vagina becomes a Vagi-No-Way?!

We've all felt it, experienced it, but we often shy away from discussing it. As if whispering its name would summon a beast… We're here to lift the lid off a hidden truth, to bring to light the dry painful elephant in the room — vaginal dryness. It's the unwelcome, all-too-frequent tag-along of menopause we all skirt around.

New source of office heating found – increasing numbers of women in menopause. As more and more women enter menopause (2 million a year!), many of whom choose to continue their careers, it makes sense that menopause is going to become an office issue… so how do we deal with menopause in the workplace?

Inflammation really might be the root of all evil; when it shows up in our bodies it literally wreaks havoc, from aching joints to gut disruptions... but what about when we get inflammation that targets the brain...?

Wondering how to manage PCOS? PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS affects 5 to 18% of all women and is the most common hormonal disorder in women. It is also one of the most common causes of female infertility. PCOS is often missed by practitioners, especially if women have always had irregular periods. Many women are offered hormonal birth control to manage the condition and that can often make the situation worse.

23% of women experience anxiety, compared to 14% of men.
43.5% of people experience mild anxiety, 33.7% moderate, and 22.8% severe anxiety.
More than 31% of Americans will experience anxiety at some point during their lifetime.

Anxiety IS more common in menopause, and more common in women - double trouble, but why is that, and what can we do about it?

Did you know we did our own product test on 44 participants before we released ReBounce DHEA? We invited 44 perfect candidates who were eligible for DHEA usage - 39 of whom were able to finish the test... Let's take a look at the results!

Social media has become an integral part of our daily life, providing some instant gratification to help us wind down after a busy day when our heads go in way too many directions. Work over for the day, dinner complete, a few house and garden chores done, and we head for the sofa… phone in hand.

But, what exactly is going on inside our brain when we click open Instagram or Facebook?

Wondering why topicals win out? Read on to learn more about DHEA, about topicals versus oral hormones, and why DHEA cream might be the best option for you...

You may have heard all about DHEA, but you're not exactly sure if it would work for you...

- Can you use with Vibrant Third?
- Does it matter whether I have a uterus when using DHEA?

All these (and more) are answered in this blog!

Constipation During Menopause: Causes, Triggers, and Remedies

You've dealt with the hot flashes, you've handled the brain fog, Silky Peach has healed your atrophy, but now you have constipation... What the heck?! Constipation is a common condition that affects many women during and after menopause. In this blog, we'll discuss what causes constipation during menopause, what makes it worse, and what you can do about it (because eating half a packet of ex-lax is not the answer!).

What the heck is Lichen Sclerosis, you might be wondering... or, if you already know, then you know how miserable it can be... But, there is hope. As science and clinicians seek to understand LS further, there do seem to be some commonalities and solutions emerging!

You've probably heard that women gain weight around menopause, you might even have heard of the dreaded... meno-belly... but, is it real? Are you actually stuck with weight gain, or is there something you can do about this?

"I love the cream, but it is so hard to pump!"

We hear this a lot at Silky Peach HQ, and you might be wondering why the heck we haven't got new bottles when we know they are hard to pump, but actually there is a reason (and a remedy) for this...

When it comes to aging, there are thousands of products you can try - all modeled by ancient 30 year olds.... In reality, many of these skincare products are mostly filler - and by that, we don't mean that they are using models with botox and filler... we mean non-active ingredients, with small amounts of an 'active' ingredient. However, there are some potent serums that really do help with wrinkles, discoloration, pore size, and overall skin quality. These can help combat signs of aging (if you want to) and improve overall skin integrity.

When it comes to menopause, some of the common questions many women ask are, why am I gaining weight? how do I lose weight? Why are my hot flashes so bad? Is there anything I can do about these symptoms naturally? The answer? YES! Diet and health are integral factors when it comes to menopause interactions, and changing our diets can not only help reduce 'meno-belly', it can help overall health, longevity, and reduce some nasty symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety and night sweats.

Maybe you love exercise, maybe you hate it - but the science all agrees, exercise helps slow and generally improve the aging process, and ensure that you stay as healthy as possible no matter your age! Fitness and health are directly linked, not only to how well we can move, but to our hormones! This means, for women, that exercise can not only affect how we age, but also how we experience menopause!

Prolapse is a displacement of a part or organ of the body from its normal position, usually downward or outward, often resulting in it protruding from an opening.

Not exactly something you want to hear from your doctor…

Let's be real - sex can absolutely get better as we age (hello confidence, knowledge, comfort, zero pregnancy risk, more time), but it can also throw some challenges our way... So, how do we deal with our changing bodies to make sure our sex life stays *spicy*?

Can I use Silky Peach if I’m in Perimenopause?

Can I use it if I just had a baby?

I’ve had a hysterectomy, can I use Vibrant Third?

I’ve heard my granddaughter can use Chaos Calmer, is that true?

I’ve heard men can use Chaos Calmer, my husband wants to try some!

Can I use Vibrant Third if I’m in my thirties?

Can Silky Peach (or any estriol) increase yeast? Or change my natural scent? This is an interesting question. Silky Peach cream will not cause vulva/vaginas to smell, however, estrogen can alter the vaginal microbiome - specifically the levels of yeast.

Ever wonder what the issue is with your vagina? UTI? Yeast Infection? STI? Vaginal Atrophy? Lichen Sclerosus? Sadly, our (amazing) vaginas are also a little temperamental and require a Goldilocks environment to be happy... but, thankfully, there are a lot of options for resolving vaginal discomfort... the real question is... what do all those things do in the women's health section of the pharmacy?!

When we talk about being healthy from the inside out, what does that really mean? Well, healthy organs, good gut health, and good bone health. Your skeletal system needs love, especially as we age and our hormones change, since estrogen decline can be a cause of osteoporosis...

The Ultimate Vagina Workout (AKA Vag-WOD) - So you too can have a Vagina that can crush (wal)nuts! Just kidding - whilst a strong vagina can make sex better, it is also important for overall health, proper posture, incontinence and leakage, and core strength.

What's Good for the Gut, Is Good For the Front Butt! Gut health is linked to a whole load of positive benefits, like better skin, better mental clarity, and - as it turns out - better vaginal health. The concept of 'good bacteria' can be tricky to take on, but these mighty helpers work to break down and assimilate nutrients into our bodies, and they can become disrupted or even wiped out by things like antibiotics, alcohol, or high sugar consumption.

Blissful Second Base & Mind-blowing Third Base? Some partners are generous with their pre-game lovin', but others are more wham-bam thank you ma'am... if you get anything at all. But, if you're suffering from painful sex or vaginal atrophy, no foreplay can be downright dangerous, so what are you supposed to do about it?

Is Estriol a Risk Factor for Breast Cancer?

We get asked this a lot, understandably, so we've broken down the science, the statistics, and the research to give you a look at how estriol affects cancer rates.

Maybe you can't use Silky Peach, or maybe you're just looking for a little extra help in the dryness department. We're going to take a look at some of the alternative natural options and creams that might help in your journey AWAY from dryness!

When it comes to Doctors, we've heard everything from angels in white coats who take care of their ladies, to absolute... walnuts... who tell women that 'it's all in their head', or to 'just deal with it', or 'just use more lube', or some combination of idiocy that would be funny if it weren't our health (and our sanity) on the line.

If you live to 95 and your heart rate beats on average 75 times a minute for each of those 95 years, that’s, on average 3,744,900,000 beats. Is your mind blown by that math yet?

Here's the bare naked truth, your sexuality does change as you age, and for women, it does get harder to have an orgasm. (Another truth, there will be some sex puns in this blog - read on at your own risk).

You've been prescribed, read, or told that XYZ is great...but what actually is it, and what is it supposed to do?

Twenty Years on the North American Menopause Society Changes some positions on hormone replacement...

Stress is a funny thing. Stressful situations are a natural part of being a creature - hamster, hyena, or human. The stress response is a triumph of evolution and a necessary part of survival for any species. Traditional human stresses were famine, disease, accidents, threat of harm from a fellow human, attack by a wild animal, and separation from the tribe.

Why Can't I Relax?!

We often get asked whether our creams have side effects. The answer is a ‘yes’, and a ‘no’, and a ‘maybe’, and ‘it depends’, all rolled into one multicolored ball of confusion.

You might be getting sick of panty liners, sneeze surprises, and clearing the pharmacy shelves of AZO. UTI's and Incontinence become more common as we age, and they can be a total pain in the... pantyliner. You don't want to resort to adult diapers, so, what can you do?

You may have heard about the thyroid. You may know that it has something to do with weight. You may know that it is a hormone… But, what else do you know about it?

We’re not talking about ‘Dirty Talk’, we’re talking about how to talk to your partner about your sex life, lack of, or changing sensations that affect the practicalities of everything from first base through fourth! Talking about sex is a tricky topic, and, even for the most liberated person, bringing up that your partner might not be doing it for you isn't exactly easy. Looking for even more of a challenge? Telling your long-term partner that, all of a sudden, the stuff they used to do isn't working anymore.

“Menopause? What is that?” ~ 1850’s women… probably. Menopause wasn’t a problem historically, because as you can see from our nifty graph, until 1900, most women died before they even experienced it! Times have changed a hell of a lot since the 1900’s, and yet many women still don’t have good access to information about menopause.

Weight A Minute...

Somehow, Dolly never got around to singing about these...

No one is writing love poems to their vacuum cleaner. No one goes home and stares at it lovingly. No one keeps their vacuum in a special gilded cupboard on a velvet cushion. But, without it, your house would be filled with dust, dirt, hair, and grime within a week. Say you spill a bag of chips? Who's the hero then?

The Ins & Outs of Progesterone (and how it can make YOUR menopause better!)

There aren’t many magazines with headlines about the health of your vagina. There’s no school class about women's delicate hormone balance and how it changes over the years. But, there are a million books, articles and products talking all about sex and our vagina; the focus of the attention is on whether our vajazzle is ready for some razzle-dazzle.

Whatever your current opinion on sex toys might be...kinky? Dirty? Fun? Are they Exploratory? The fact of the matter is, the more you know, the better!

Would it be too cliche to make a Xena warrior princess joke? Ok, we’ll restrain ourselves. Besides, the Xeno in xenoestrogens has less to do with kicking ass, and more to do with messing up your hormones. Xeno comes from the Greek word ‘foreign’, and it refers to the fact that xenoestrogens are compounds which mimic the activities of the hormone estrogen (in both men and women), and in doing so, they can wreak havoc on the endocrine system.

Everyone is unique. Which is great...but it’s also a total pain when it comes to trying to gauge how often you should apply Silky Peach. So, instead of telling you the ‘best practices’ we recommend, we thought we would give you some actual examples of use so you can get a better sense of what might work best for you.

When it comes to things you think you need, what makes the cut? Chocolate? Wine? Well, when it comes to what you actually need, we know one thing for sure - you definitely need progesterone.

By the time bedtime rolls around, you’re less in the mood for some sheet shaking, and more in the mood for some sleep making. It’s not as simple as gobbling down a plate of oysters; humans are complex and so is our sexual function.

Georgia O’Keefe was right when she likened the vagina to a flower; not just in the sense that they’re all unique and beautiful, but because they also require some pretty specific conditions.

So, what happens when those conditions disrupt your lovely lily? The answer, for many women, is bacterial vaginosis.

When it comes to creativity, what comes to mind? Boticelli? Picasso? Khalo? Perhaps a favorite musician or author?

Let’s face it, looking at the back of the packet is key nowadays. You’ve got to know what goes into what you eat and what you put on your body. When it comes to food, the formula is simple - try and eat things with few ingredients that you can pronounce. When it comes to lotions and potions...it’s not so simple.

The short answer is yes, heck yes, Silky Peach Cream is paraben free. We're not putting that in our creams - ever.
