We know that women want something that can help with the impact that changing hormones have on other areas of their bodies but that bring with it the joy and pleasure they get from using our facial skincare.

“The skin around our intimate areas deserve as much love and care as our facial skin. It may not be on display in quite the same way, but we think it and its owner should have MORE.” Jackie Lamyman, Founder Made Of More

At Made Of More we understood the assignment. No more grey boring packaging. No more silly flavours and ridiculous names for ‘down there’. All the efficacy and performance you expect from Made Of More products but for your intimate area.

By enhancing sensory pleasure and helping dryness we hope to support women who want MORE from their sex lives, overall comfort day to day but above all, to feel as though it’s not the end.

It has always been our mission to celebrate this life stage and to encourage women to continue to be playful in midlife without shame. Made Of More introduces the Intimate Serum.

How is Made Of More’s Intimate Serum different to other lubricants?

Most intimate lubricants sit in two camps: ‘functional’ - they tackle hydration, but in a very matter of fact way (not what anyone wants) or they’re focused on ‘play & pleasure’ but they come with a side of added ‘benefits’ such as synthetic flavours or tingling additives that can damage the delicate vaginal balance. Made Of More’s Intimate Serum covers both camps without the side helping of irritating extras and instead nano CBD for better absorption as well as more powerful results.

Well-versed in the power of CBD, Made Of More knows how great this active ingredient is, but put it into nano format and wow; the fun just got even more real! Here’s how: Many people don’t realise that their own body might be sabotaging their pleasure. Deep within your body lies the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network responsible for regulating vital functions like sleep, pain, inflammation, and, most importantly, sexual arousal. However, modern stress, inflammation, and other lifestyle factors can throw this system off balance, preventing you from enjoying the mind-blowing orgasms you deserve.

This is where CBD comes in. CBD is remarkably similar to the natural cannabinoids your body produces, making it a powerful ally in restoring balance. By interacting with your ECS receptors, CBD helps optimise your body’s natural functions—enhancing arousal, reducing discomfort, and increasing pleasure. When applied topically, CBD can boost blood flow to your intimate areas, heightening sensitivity and improving lubrication, turning good sex into unforgettable, next-level experiences.

Teamed with moisture-boosting vegetable glycerin and Lactobacillus, a vaginal identical microbiome & pH balanced formula for vaginal health, the water-based Intimate Serum is on hand for all moments by boosting mood, energy and enjoyment.

Let’s get positive about hormones

As experts in hormones and how they can negatively manifest on the skin in midlife, it’s now time to talk about how hormones can also work in our favour….. The orgasm.

“Did you know that orgasms can decrease stress levels and anxiety, primarily because they trigger the release of several neurotransmitters, including oxytocin, the “love hormone”?

They can however, be more than just a source of pleasure—they play a crucial role in reducing stress and promoting mental well-being. During an orgasm, the body experiences a significant reduction in cortisol levels, a hormone that is typically associated with stress. By lowering cortisol, orgasms help to mitigate the negative effects of stress on the body. Additionally, the release of dopamine during an orgasm enhances feelings of pleasure and satisfaction, creating a sense of euphoria that further counteracts stress and anxiety. This powerful combination of reduced cortisol and elevated dopamine makes orgasms an effective natural stress reliever, contributing to overall psychological stability and relaxation. Studies have found that almost 40% of women who find pleasure with or without a partner do so to relax.” Dr Dhesi, Clinical Lead, Made Of More

Hormonal change – what happens?

From early perimenopause, you might have noticed things just don’t feel the same down there as before. As you move through towards the menopause and hormone levels decrease further, these changes can become more obvious. Declining oestrogen levels can make the vagina’s walls thinner and dryer, in turn leading to tightness and discomfort, often with a side order of itchiness. It can also mean that when you’re aroused, you produce less natural lubrication. Some women experience pain, burning, and sometimes even tearing with penetration.

Glycerin – A Closer Look

Written by Dr Dhesi, Clinical Lead - Made Of More.  

As a General Practitioner and aesthetic doctor with a special interest in women’s health, I understand the concerns many have about using glycerin in intimate products. Discussions around glycerin often evoke strong opinions, particularly when it comes to vaginal health, due to past studies and anecdotal reports. However, as with any health-related topic, it’s essential to assess the evidence carefully, considering the quality of research and the contexts in which certain findings were obtained.

Made of More - My Story

Written by Viv Barclay - http://www.mumentous.com/ 

I woke up one morning in 2015 feeling like I’d been given horse tranquillisers. This was nothing new. Menopause had turned me into feeling like a zombie most mornings since the year before. I made it to the sofa and flopped down in front of BBC Breakfast. I don’t think I’d even made myself a cuppa!
