Okay, so I’ll admit — when I first heard about mouth taping, I thought it was another weird wellness trend. Tape your mouth shut to sleep better? Sounded more like a TikTok challenge than an actual health tip. But after a few months of dealing with poor sleep and waking up with a stiff neck…
Ever wake up feeling uncomfortable down there and wonder if your pajamas—or lack of them—are part of the problem? Yeah, I’ve been there too. Turns out, what you wear at night can either help your body fight off bacterial vaginosis (BV) or make things worse. And let me tell you, once I figured this out,…
If you’re like me, someone who’s spent countless hours Googling natural ways to deal with bacterial vaginosis (BV), you’ve probably stumbled across some pretty wild suggestions.
