Let’s be real—thongs are a staple in many underwear drawers. They’re comfy (to some), stylish, and definitely come in handy under tight dresses or leggings. But I remember this one time after a beach vacation—living in thongs all week—I came back with the most uncomfortable issue: bacterial vaginosis. I had never even thought my underwear…
When it comes to vaginal health, we often think of hygiene habits or avoiding infections. But one thing I never gave much thought to until a few years ago? Vitamins. I used to constantly battle weird imbalances—occasional odor, dryness, irritation, even after being super careful. It wasn’t until I started looking into nutritional gaps that…
If you’re like me, you’ve probably raised an eyebrow at the idea that a glass of wine—or maybe three—could be throwing your vaginal balance out of whack. It wasn’t until I started noticing a pattern between my nights out and the uncomfortable symptoms that followed, that I began connecting the dots. Turns out, alcohol might…
Ever gone down the rabbit hole of skin products that promise everything but leave your skin worse off—especially if you’re someone dealing with BV-prone skin? Been there. It took me way too long to realize that the soap I used daily was doing more harm than good. For anyone with recurring BV flare-ups or just…
Last summer, I noticed something strange: a faint streak of blood when I wiped—barely noticeable, but enough to raise an eyebrow. I wasn’t on my period, hadn’t had rough sex, and wasn’t experiencing any pain. At first, I brushed it off. But then it happened again. And again. I started to worry—could this light bleeding…
When I first noticed something wasn’t quite right “down there,” I wasn’t exactly sure how to explain it to my doctor. A weird smell, maybe? Some unusual discharge? It felt awkward, and honestly, I wasn’t even sure if it was worth bringing up. Turns out, I was dealing with bacterial vaginosis (BV), and documenting my…
When I first noticed something was off—odd discharge, a weird smell—I went straight to panic mode. You’d think after years of adulting, I’d know the difference between a yeast infection and BV, right? Wrong. Like most people, I had no idea what “normal” discharge looked like anymore. And honestly, the symptoms are frustratingly similar. But…
Honestly, if someone had asked me a few years ago whether you can have mild BV with no pain, I would’ve shrugged. I used to think if there’s no pain, then everything down there must be fine, right? Well—turns out, not exactly. I learned the hard way that bacterial vaginosis (BV) doesn’t always come crashing…
Last winter, I got this gorgeous lavender bath bomb set as a gift. You know the kind—fizzes like magic, smells heavenly, turns your tub into a spa. But after soaking for what felt like blissful eternity, I started noticing some not-so-fun symptoms creeping back: that familiar discomfort, an odd smell, and just… ugh. That’s when…
