I haven’t met a boric acid pill that I haven’t liked or benefited from yet. It is a capsule with boric acid in it, not sure how a company could mess that up or why some people whine that certain brands didn’t work for them. This is your typical boric acid suppository, but the company went above and beyond by including applicators. This is a GAME CHANGER!! No more sticking fingers up there to make sure the capsule is in deep enough. The price is a little higher than competitors, but the applicators make it worth it. The capsule has no smell, it’s your typical/normal capsule size, gives overnight relief, and just slide it in and forget it. You do get a bit of leakage like you would with any boric acid suppository, so I started by using only at night time. Now, I don’t really care time or day, I usually just pop one in after having seggs, and I haven’t had any vaginal problems in months because of it. Thanks for a great product Read more
Ok so I’m going to put a similar review up on all of the products I got to attempt to cure the recurrent BV that was ruining my life for over 2 years. First of all, I’ll start with that when I was first diagnosed with BV, they put me on Clyndomiasin (spelling ?) for 9 days. I lost the last day of pills. Huge mistake. BV went away and a yeast infection took its place. Then BV came back. They then prescribed metronidazole. Same process a couple more times. The fourth diagnoses. they gave me the gel that you insert and told me that I’d have to do this for six to ten months to get rid of it. After a week of the gel, it made me super, super sick. So I had to stop taking it - so the BV came back. This whole process repeated itself for 22 months. I fell into an extreme depression. Why couldn’t I rid myself of this infection? Was I doomed to suffer from BV for the rest of my life? After doing some searching, I found out that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WOMEN deal with recurrent BV and are also completely miserable. What made me take this into my own hands was when my doctor said recurrent BV happens when your body stops producing a chemical similar to peroxide that kills the bacteria, and that since the bacteria has an almost impenetrable cell wall that grows evolves to be even stronger and more impenetrable if the infection isn’t killed off entirely. So I asked her- what if I just douched with hydrogen peroxide? And she said no, don’t do that, it won’t work. After researching the good vs bacteria and the chemical it produces, I realized that I had nothing to lose and decided to try it anyway, against my doctor’s orders. My thought process was this: Id kill off the bad bacteria long enough for the good bacteria to colonize- and then try and even it out as best as I could. So I bought a douche, these fantastic boric acid suppositories, a probiotic pill, a probiotic suppository, and prebiotic foods (sour kraut, kombucha) The first time I douched with peroxide, there was SO MANY BUBBLES. For probably 30 minutes, every time I’d put more in, it would come back out en masse. I did this five days in a row, all while taking a probiotic pill, drinking kombucha twice a day, and eating sour kraut at lunch every day. Cups of it. I was on a mission. On the sixth day, I used a probiotic suppository and then after a few days of “rest” I used these boric acid suppositories every other day, and the probiotic suppository in between that time. On the fourteenth day, I used the douche again. Almost no bubbles came out. Was my infection gone? Was this finally it? I gave myself a week of “rest” to see if anything would come back - and nothing did! I spent two weeks “heavy artilery” with every non-prescription, natural thing I could do and it cured my BV that I fought for two years!! 14 days. After two years of doc appointments and prescriptions that didn’t work (and made it worse) Precautionarily, after sex, I’ll pop in a boric acid suppository, just in case (as sometimes sex can upset the flora balance and I and NOT taking any chances at this point) but my misery is gone. Thank you!! Read more
This is like a life game changer for me. I am a very balanced person, my body does a great job at regulating itself and I rarely have issues at all --- unless I have a new partner with new germs. My body is soooo offended by the new bacteria that I tend to go haywire and then will either get a spell of chronic yeast infections, bacterial infections or just not feel normal. If you are like me, then if your hooha is unhappy, the world is black and grey and dark and you just want to crawl into a hole and not exist. Dramatic? YES! But, that's how much I hate imbalances. After a new partner that caused me several yeast infections I like couldn't believe that I was going to suffer for months on and off that pill that makes me feel dizzy and terrible so I did some research and started to use these after every sex session. It 100% solved my problem. Like virtually changed the playing field. My body got used to the partner, it wasnt an issue but I always have these on hand. I use them infrequently, but tend to pop one in around the time I am going to menstruate my hormones start changing. Or maybe if I forgot to pee after sex and woke up the next morning upset I broke that cardinal rule. Or if I was in a bathing suite alllll day in the summer. It's just a great way to rebalance, has no side effects at all and really works. I would recommend having this in your toolbelt as a staple lady care resource Read more
You can feel it working after 30 minutes! After my IUD, the yeast comes, and itching and burning just wouldn’t stop after 3 days of Monistat 3. The only good thing about the Monistat is their applicators(don’t throw them away!). the Monistat applicator work with this boric acid capsules. Like all the other reviewers said, the applicator that come with the boric acid product sucks and you WILL HURT yourself if you try to force it in there. Try the Monistat applicator instead. The product itself is AMAZING, it works and my yeast cleared in just 2 days. But their applicator can and will hurt you vajayjay. Minus 1 star for that. Strongly suggest get other applicator to use with this capsule, I just happened to keep one applicator from Monistat(which burns like hell and would not recommend anyone who has sensitive skin to use Monistat). This capsule does not hurt or make me itchy. I think all the obgyn doctors needs to know about this amazing product. Read more
