I came across a fascinating article the other day that contained a staggering statistic: 66% of women experience painful intercourse.

Here’s an interesting excerpt from that article:
Simply not being lubricated enough is the number-one reason for pain during sex. There are two parts of our body’s response to foreplay. The first is engorgement, a rushing of blood to the vagina that expands the vaginal walls - our version of an erection. The second is lubricatioon, a release of moisture from the glands that ring the vaginal opening. Both actions signal your readiness for sex, so starting before they take place cqn hurt. One patient tol me, “A little friction feels good, but I think there’s too much friction happening.” The quick fix? A lubricant.
In addition to a lack of proper lubrication, other potential reasons for dryness include Vulvodynia, a yeast infection, cervix bumping, an Ovarian Cyst, Endometriosis and Pelvic Congestion. A doctor should be consulted in these cases, although a very few lubricants, noteably SYLK Natural Personal Lubricant, can be a valuable addition to your doctor’s recommendations.
As far as vaginal dryness goes, it is important to choose a water-based, all natural lubricant like SYLK for the healthiest and best results. You can thank us after you try it!

Another natural lubricant product known as “Yes” makes some rather misleading representations that include comparisons to our product, SYLK Personal Lubricant. We feel that it is important to address these comparisons, specifically the comments they make on their website regarding the ingredients glycerine and grapefruit seed extract, both of which are ingredients of SYLK.
In order to give you the proper information regarding these two ingredients and how they are used, we invite you to read this short report from MOLAB, Ltd., which address both ingredients in detail.

Sylk is a “green” (read: environmentally friendly) product because it is made from 100% natural ingredients. The main ingredient in Sylk is Kiwifruit Vine extract, which is taken from what would otherwise be “waste” products of Kiwifruit harvesting. Here is a short interview featuring Kevin, the creator of Sylk, talking about the actual process and how it benefits the environment. . .

We use high quality, all-natural ingredients to make Sylk. Here is a closer look at each of the ingredients:
Purified Water: Our’s is the most scientifically up-to-date water purification system involving four steps: 1) Carbon Filter, 2) Deionization Columns, 3) UV Light,
4) 0.2 Micron Filter
Kiwifruit Plant Extract: (Actinidia Chinensis) A special process of extracting and purifying the gum resin of the vine of the Kiwifruit Plant. Used as an emollient.
Grapefruit Seed Extract (Citrus Grandis): The extract of the seeds of grapefruit. Has natural preservative qualities.
Xanthan Gum Extract: A gum produced by a pure culture fermentation of a carbohydrate with Xanthomonas campestris. Also called corn sugar gum. Used as a natural thickener, emulsifier, and a stabilizer.
Vegetable Glycerin: Made of plants such as avocado instead of animal-derived glycerin.
Citric Acid: Derived from citrus fruit by fermentation of crude sugars. Employed as a natural preservative and sequestering ingredient to adjust acid-alkali balance.
Potassium Sorbate: From citrus fruits, it is a sorbic acid potassium salt. Used as a natural mold and yeast inhibitor.
Sodium Citrate: From citrus fruits, it is used as an alkalizer.
SYLK does not contain any “objectionable” ingredients such as parabens, silicones, hormones, colors or flavoring agents. Ingredients make all the difference in the world and this is why SYLK is “second only to nature.”
