Guess what?
β Your vagina is self-cleaning.
*It doesn’t need…
π Douches
π Feminine washes
π Vaginal sprays
*And please, for the love of your yoni, don’t put anything up there with:
π Fragrance
π Plastic applicators
π Plastic materials
π Synthetic materials
π PFAs
The truth is: Your vagina maintains its acidity level in a very strict range. But it’s also very delicate. And all of the above can mess with the acidity level…and cause irritation.
When we have an imbalanced vaginal pH, we may not be able to make cervical mucus, which is what keeps sperm alive and helps them travel to meet your egg for fertilization.
*Imbalances in vaginal pH can also lead to issues like:
β° Bacterial vaginosis
β° Yeast infection
β° UTIs
β° And other issues
So do yourself a favor and mind the gap, especially if you’re trying to conceive. π§‘
