Boric Acid Vaginal Suppositories
I’ve never used boric acid before. What does it do?
Boric acid is a long-standing, natural, tried and tested remedy for common vaginal infections like BV and thrush.
Due to its weak acidity, boric acid can help to gently balance the pH of the vagina, restoring it to optimum levels (it has a bacteriostatic and fungistatic action, so it makes the vagina slightly more acidic while disrupting the fungal cell membrane).
Basically, it encourages a harmonious balance between the ‘good’ bacteria and the ‘bad’. It’s a simple solution for women who suffer from recurring thrush and BV, and those who’ve not found long-term relief from antibiotics.

Is it safe to put boric acid in your vagina?
Boric acid suppositories designed for vaginal use are generally considered safe in the short term when used as prescribed or under medical guidance. While some concerns may arise due to boric acid's association with borax, a compound found in household cleaning products and pesticides, it's essential to note that boric acid and borax are distinct substances.
Despite sharing a common compound, boric acid suppositories are specifically formulated for vaginal insertion and should never be ingested orally. The potential dangers arise when boric acid is consumed in "extreme amounts," with toxicity occurring at 15-20 grams for adults and 5 grams for infants.
It's crucial to emphasize that the recommended dosage of boric acid vaginal suppositories is typically 600 milligrams, and they are considered safe when used as directed – inserted into the vagina, not taken orally. To put it in perspective, an adult would need to ingest an impractical 25 vaginal capsules simultaneously to reach toxic levels
What’s our boric acid suppositories are made from?
We keep things simple.

What’s a vaginal suppository? And how do I use one?
A vaginal suppository is simply a small capsule you insert inside your vagina.
If you’ve never used one before, it might sound a little intimidating. But they’re very easy to use, we promise!
Before bedtime and with clean hands, gently insert one capsule in the vagina, as far as it can comfortably go. Repeat daily, until your symptoms disappear or for up to two weeks. If required, the capsule can safely be used every 12 hours.
Or, simply insert when needed – after sex, after the last day of your period, or when you’d like to feel a little fresher.
Some discharge is normal, so we recommend wearing a pad or liner to bed.
Probiotics Vaginal Suppositories
What are the benefits of using vaginal probiotics?
Vaginal probiotics are specifically formulated to support the natural balance of bacteria in the vaginal microbiome. They contain beneficial strains of bacteria that help maintain a healthy pH level and prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria. By introducing these probiotics into the vagina, they can help support vaginal health.
What are the benefits of using vaginal probiotics?
Vaginal probiotics offer several potential benefits, including promoting a healthy vaginal pH, supporting a balanced vaginal flora, and helping to prevent or manage common vaginal issues such as yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. They can also help reduce odour and support overall vaginal wellness.
