What you put in your vagina matters

Guess what?

βœ… Your vagina is self-cleaning.

*It doesn’t need…

πŸ†‡ Douches

πŸ†‡ Feminine washes

πŸ†‡ Vaginal sprays

*And please, for the love of your yoni, don’t put anything up there with:

πŸ†‡ Fragrance

πŸ†‡ Plastic applicators

πŸ†‡ Plastic materials

πŸ†‡ Synthetic materials

πŸ†‡ 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. 🧑
