It’s been a hard month for reproductive health, LGBTQ+ rights, science, women and straight up - nature.

This is your reminder that despite the setbacks there are still people, organizations and even brands that continue to fight for your rights, representation and quality care. Remain hopeful, find happiness, be an advocate and of course - rest when needed. This is a long game.

A Valentine’s Day poem for my people the sensitive parts. 💅🏽

Ok TBH, telling people about my yeast infections is literally the best thing that ever happened to me.

ATOPIC DERMATITIS - Pics 1 and 2 are last evening after an accidental citric acid incident (this allergy comes in an eczema like rash and sometimes hives for me). Pics 3 and 4 are this morning after only a single salve application. While we formulated for vulvova**nal discomfort and infections… 1. I can actually show you my back - besides it being unsightly… 2. This is a great example of how powerful this product can be for the dry, itchy, scaly, inflamed skin we can sometimes experience. ♥️

took the salve to Paris… and I needed a picture, cause at my core I am just a proud parent and my eldest child is seeing the world. P.S. always take your salve when traveling.

Even the GYNs get it.

The salve should be part of every postpartum protocol. I add it to every baby shower gift I bring.

PSA: stress and bacterial vaginosis (BV) are related:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stress and BV incidence:
Studies show that psychosocial stress is significantly associated with the incidence of BV. For example, one study found that women who reported higher stress levels were more likely to experience recurring BV.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stress and BV status:
Another study found that stress had a significant effect on overall BV status, even after adjusting for behavioral and demographic factors.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stress and va**nal microbiota:
One study found that participants who experienced a 5-unit increase in stress had a greater risk of developing molecular BV. This is because stress can impact the va**nal microbiota composition.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stress and cortisol levels:
Stress-induced cortisol can alter the activity of inflammatory mediators, which can impact va**nal health.

Know your risk, or your triggers! The prevalence of BV varies by risk factors, such as:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pregnancy: The prevalence of BV is higher in people who are or have been pregnant.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Smoking and alcohol use: The prevalence of BV is higher in daily smokers and daily alcohol users.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Douching: The prevalence of BV is higher in people who do**he.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sexual behavior: The prevalence of BV is more common in q***r folks with va**nas by a factor of 2.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BV is caused by an imbalance in the va**nal microflora, which can be upset by douching, not using condoms, hormonal changes, third party factors like exercise and having new or multiple s*x partners.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BV doesn’t typically cause serious complications, but it can recur, and up to 80% of people get it again in their lifetime.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the best measures you can take for BV is taking a good probiotic, like ours, that support va**nal and gut microbiome as well as boosts immune health.

3 things you didn’t know about your intimate health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Your v***a is different for your va**na. Care for them differently.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. What you eat, the clothes you wear, and the detergent you use affect your va**nal health. For better or for worse.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. You can use products that soothe and calm itching, soreness and inflammation that do not disrupt your pH or interfere with medications, hormones or pheromones.
