Our customers talk about their intimate problems

Intimate discomfort is something that can affect anyone, regardless of age. Many women find it difficult to find alternatives to medical treatment and self-care that are both simple and gentle, yet effective. Here, our customers share their stories—where Q for Skin products have made a difference.

Recurrent urinary tract infections

Pirjo: I have had problems with recurring urinary tract infections for several years. They came at regular intervals and it felt like I had to take antibiotics all the time. I had heard that sea buckthorn capsules could help, but I didn't notice any difference.

Last summer, I came into contact with Q for Skin and started taking two blackcurrant capsules a day, which I have been doing for about 4 months. I can hardly believe it, but I haven't had any more urinary tract infections since then. I have also been using their oil, Blackcurrant Oil on my dry mucous membranes in my lower abdomen. It has worked wonders, and I am so incredibly grateful. The oil is so good because I can use it pretty much anywhere I am dry.

Dry mucous membranes after menopause

Lena

- I am an active woman and spend a lot of time outdoors in the woods and countryside with my family and my dog. I live a very good and active life, but in recent years I have had problems with my mucous membranes due to menopause. I have tried various oils, soaps, and capsules for my dryness problems, but without much success.

I was advised to try Q for Skins Blackcurrant Oil and Blackcurrant Capsules and have been using it for about 4 months and it works great. I feel that Blackcurrant Oil is extremely softening I feel a clear improvement in my symptoms.

In addition to the oil and capsules, I now use Q Ultra Care as an intimate soap. It makes me feel fresh without causing discomfort.

Problems with dry, fragile mucous membranes

Inga-Lill

- I have had severe problems with dry, fragile mucous membranes in my genital area for about five years. This has caused terrible itching, which has led to sores and cracks. Sexual intercourse was out of the question. I sought help at the gynecologist's office and was prescribed cortisone ointment to apply morning and evening until the sores healed, and I was also told moisturise Vaseline every morning. I was to continue using Vaseline for the rest of my life.

My mucous membranes dried out more and more. Then I was called in for a Pap smear, and the pain this caused was almost overwhelming. The gynecologist recommended Vagifem vaginal tablets, but I was already taking them and was advised to continue, as there was no alternative.

A friend mentioned that she had found relief from an oil that is beneficial for dry mucous membranes. I ordered a Special offer package Blackcurrant oil and Q Ultra Care from Q for Skin.

After just one week of use, I could already feel a difference. After two months of using blackcurrant oil, I supplemented with blackcurrant capsules. I have been using this combination for about 3 months and my problems with dry mucous membranes are almost completely gone. My sex life is back to normal too. I no longer use cortisone or Vaseline.
