Vaginal pH? What’s Healthy & What’s Not
Healthy Vaginas are Naturally a Little Acidic
Why? Because an acidic environment helps kill unhealthy bacteria and protects you from infection. If things are feeling a little “off,” it’s probably because your pH has gone a bit neutral to alkaline.
To stay comfy and healthy, shoot for a pH between 3.8 and 4.5.

“Why me?!” – Post-Sex Vaginal Discomfort
Nothing Ruins a Good Time Like a Yeast Infection
Sometimes, the morning after can suck for you and your vagina. This is because some phalluses (yes, even the silicon kind) carry bacteria that just doesn’t mix well with your vaginal chemistry.
And your vagina will let you know when the fun is over, usually with itchiness, dryness, or discharge. That’s how you know it’s time to correct your pH.

As a matter of fact, vaginal douching can worsen an existing pH imbalance, and even result in an infection.
It turns out that our vaginas are pretty great at cleaning themselves by naturally secreting lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide. It’s only when things get really off-balance that they need a little help from a gentle, natural anti-fungal.

How to Talk About Your Vagina
Got an Unexplained Itch? A Funky Oder? It’s Time to Say Something
Vaginas are pretty personal, but for the sake of our health and well-being, it’s important to open up about them when necessary.
If something doesn’t feel right – especially if it involves pain or discomfort – call up your doc and have a heart-to-heart about what’s going on.
No one needs to feel ashamed of their bodies, but sometimes cultural shame keeps us from loving all our parts and leading healthy lives. If you’re not ready for a face-to-face convo with a physician, don’t hesitate to contact us for judgment-free vaginal health tips.
