169 Lets Talk About Sex... and Why Your Intimate Health Matters with Sam Evans Fab Female Nutrition

About Sam
"I'm the co-founder of online sex toy retailer Jo Divine with my husband Paul. We only sell skin safe products and irritant free lubricants and vaginal moisturisers. As a former nurse, I am the sexual health and pleasure expert. I have written 100's of practical sexual health and pleasure articles for our blog and in the press. I also featured on the radio, and in Sex, Myths and the menopause with Davina McCall and How To Have A Better Orgasm on Channel 5. We also work with many healthcare professionals to help their patients to regain their sexual function and reclaim their sex life. Whoever you are, whatever your age, gender, sexual orientation, disability or health issue, we believe sex is meant to be noisy, messy, embarrassing, consensual, pleasurable and most of all, fun "

Where is a good place for a new or timid customer to start?
Sam loves talking to customers and would encourage everyone to phone her and have a conversation. Her knowledge as a nurse, her personal experiences and her product knowledge helps her have conversations with clients that ensures they are getting the products, and often the help, that they need.

However not everyone is confident enough to pick up the phone, so the one product that we both believe could help everyone is intimate lubricant. Sam first started using the Yes lubricant and it transformed her experiences, and it is the brand that I use. (however they now have their own brand available which I am currently testing called Sutil)

How has your personal experience affected the products you stock?
Sam suffered from recurrent infections, UTI's, thrush and BV which eventually developed into vaginismus. This is when your vaginal muscles contract when penetration is attempted, leading to painful and difficult sexual intercourse.

What Sam hadn't realised until she discovered natural lubricant brand Yes, is that it was all down to the lubrication she and her partner was using. Sam comments that it was so sad that something they were using to try to ease her discomfort was actually the thing causing her symptoms. And the idea for Jo Divine was born.
