Good question Annie but the answer will probably be different for all of us! It's a minefield isn't it?
I reacted really badly
![Shocked :o](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/shocked.gif)
to the Yes WB and had a long conversation with a customer service assistant there. She advised that some women react to the sodium benzoate in the product and that they also use it in the vaginal wash. She therefore advised me not to try the wash. The preservative is not present in the vaginal moisturiser so I bought that.
I used it for a couple of weeks alongside the Lactacyd wash and all seemed more comfortable until the blip in Paris. I may try introducing the Yes VM again to see if it'll be ok but thought that given I'm so comfortable at the moment that I should leave it a few weeks.
I used a pure white vegetable soap for about 30 years with no problems, that irritates terribly now, Apparently there has been no change to the manufacturing ingredients, I spoke to the maker. Have you tried using nothing for a while? x
