Sex and intimacy shouldn’t end when you’re diagnosed with breast cancer. But sadly, for many women, it does, with the challenges they feel often going unspoken.

That’s why Breast Cancer Now and Ann Summers are working together to help women to take the first step in improving sexual wellbeing, and start the conversation around intimacy and breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Now is committed to supporting women everywhere, no matter what type of breast cancer they have, to have the space to talk openly about the issues they’re experiencing.

Additionally, Ann Summers aims to raise at least £100,000 over a year, for Breast Cancer Now’s life-changing support and world-class research, through the sales of the My Viv product range (10% of profits from all products in the range will go towards Breast Cancer Now) Look out for the stickered product in Ann Summers stores, and online.

Members of the public can also donate at tills in Ann Summers stores or leave a donation online through the dedicated Just Giving page.

Anyone looking for information and support about sex and intimacy after a diagnosis of breast cancer can call Breast Cancer Now’s free Helpline on 0808 800 6000 and speak to one of the charity’s nurses.
