Sexual Health & Wellness
Mira Hollis
Covers Sexual Health and Wellness: condoms, lube, contraception context, STI prevention basics. NHS-adjacent register; clear about where consumer products stop and clinical advice starts.
Mira covers the Sexual Health and Wellness desk. The remit: condom fit (the most-overlooked UK sexual-health variable), contraception context where it intersects with the catalogue, STI-prevention basics, body-safe materials from a clinical rather than a marketing angle, sexual-health-adjacent products (intimate washes, hygiene, pelvic-floor work where it sits between fitness and pleasure).
Her editorial register is NHS-adjacent rather than NHS-affiliated. The line her pieces never cross: anything that needs to route through a GP gets routed through a GP, not into a product recommendation. The framing she repeats often: "this product helps with X; talk to a clinician about Y." Plain English, no Latin, no euphemism, no diagnosis-by-blog-post.
Sources Mira draws on: the NHS sexual-health pages, the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) clinical guidance, the WHO and UNFPA condom specifications (ISO 4074 for latex, ISO 23409 for non-latex), the UK Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (FSRH) contraception guidance, and the BS EN ISO body-contact-material standards.
