pH-D Feminine Health - First Woman-Owned Boric Acid Suppositories

These suppositories are the definition of dependable. The capsules are smooth, easy to insert, and dissolve cleanly without irritation. I love that the formula is simple and straight to the point just pure boric acid without unnecessary additives. Whenever I need to rebalance or deal with odor, this brand works quickly and consistently, usually within a day or two. The packaging is discreet and hygienic, and the capsules don’t crumble or leak like some cheaper brands do. I appreciate that the brand is woman-owned and clearly takes quality seriously. After trying others over the years, this is the one I always come back to because it just works every single time. My go-to brand, without question.

These were probably the best boric acid suppositories I've tried. I had a few leftover from another brand, but I noticed they were very messy when they'd dissolve. The ph-D brand doesn't seem to be near as messy and works reeeeally fast. It does have a bit of a gritty texture once it dissolves, but I didn't have to change pantyliners a million times unlike with others I've tried. And even though they leave that kind of texture, it isn't uncomfortable or noticeable. These immediately cleared up some issues I was having without having to wait weeks for a doctor's appointment. I will 1000% only be buying this brand from now on.

These worked great. I used one suppository two nights in a row. After the first night, most of the odor was gone. After the second night, it was a little better, but I started feeling the urge to pee even right after peeing and started to feel very very slight discomfort inside my vaginal area. I researched it and found that these are normal symptoms, likely signs of slight irritation, and it would go away in 24-48 hours; I didn't use any more suppositories during that time. The third day, those symptoms were gone, but I had a different odor that was pretty strong but smelled tangy. I read that this is also normal and is a sign that my ph levels were stabilizing. I gave it another two days without suppositories, and the tangy odor disappeared. It's been three or four days now since I used any, and I don't have any odor anymore, for the first time in a long time. All it took was two suppositories. I share all of this so other women can know that these things are normal and either signs of slight irritation—so you know to maybe skip a night or two—or signs that the suppositories are working. I think it's especially helpful to know that the tangy odor is a sign that the ph is stabilizing, because I initially was worried that I had a whole new problem to deal with and was worried. I felt a lot better knowing it was normal and a good sign, and wished I had known to expect it. I would recommend if you're someone who is sensitive in that area to use one suppository the first night, skip the second night, and use another one the third night and monitor how you feel and how your odor is. Then you can go from there. These are definitely worth a try, especially if odor has affected your confidence like it had mine.

Like many women submitting reviews here, I was diagnosed with BV and prescribed antibiotics, but let me give some history so as to give a clearer picture of my ongoing journey. I will try to make it somewhat brief but cover what I have found in my own research. I am not a medical doctor so let me be clear that this is simply me sharing my experience. I am 50 years old and peri-menopausal with an active sex life with my husband and am very healthy. I exercise regularly, eat extremely healthfully, get regular check ups and am a non-smoker. I have had 2 children and had a copper IUD for 7 years before having to remove it due to unexplained bleeding that stopped immediately upon removal of the IUD. I have always been a person with a decent amount of vaginal discharge, but never with odor or anything out of the ordinary. In the past couple of years, I have noticed that there was a distinct odor to my discharge on and off. I once forgot to remove my menstrual cup for a day and a half and figured it may have been the culprit, as the odor often went away for long periods of time, always to come back again. More recently, I had noted that the odor had returned and was stronger (not exactly fishy as many women report but definitely not pleasant) I went to my gyn for a routine swab and they found evidence of BV. I had never been diagnosed with this before so I was truly put off and not thrilled about taking oral antibiotics, but I did as I was instructed, taking care to up my daily intake of probiotics to twice daily, two different types to be certain I didn't get a yeast infection as well. About a week after finishing my 7 day course, I started my menstrual cycle and after the first day, the smell was back stronger than ever and lasted even after my period ended. I went back to the gyn and they tested my for the same things again, plus urea plasma. I came back positive on both and was given 2 antibiotics, one for BV and the other for ureaplasma! My feelings on antibiotics is that we have totally abused them and are the main cause of their increasing ineffectiveness, so I decided to do some research. I spent hours reading medical studies and women's accounts of their BV/ureaplasma cases. I read hundreds of doctor's reports and lab results and kept seeing the same antibiotics regimen and recurrence of the BV, even with increased probiotic supplementation, not washing with soap, abstaining from sex, not douching etc, etc, etc that doctors advised, mine included. I also read hundreds of accounts of women getting relief and less recurrence by using boric acid suppositories. I then came across a study in California by a bio-tech company that is in it's second phase of a study based on the natural flora (probiotics) present in women's vaginas and a strain that they have found to be extremely promising in helping the battle against BV, which creates a "biofilm" on the inside of our vaginas. This biofilm is more permeable than our usual mucosal coating and allows other pathogens to pass though. Our vaginas need to be at a Ph of between 3.5-4.5 and if they are not, we become open to infection and overgrowth of certain flora within the microbiome, and this can lead to BV and other problems. If you know anything about antibiotics, they kill ALL the organisms, the good and the bad so we are left depleted and again, open to the overgrowth of certain strains, plus any bacteria that might be introduced. Here is where the boric acid comes in. Although the study in California didn't mention boric acid in their process, I combined the fact that there are an overwhelmingly large number of women who have had amazing results using boric acid to help balance their vaginal Ph, with the universal antibiotic recommendation (virtually all the tests state that metronizadole has the best results) and concluded that if I were to finish the course of antibiotics along with the boric acid suppositories to help bring my vaginal Ph back into balance, then complete the treatment with the strain of flora that is currently being researched for treatment in the medical world, maybe I could use myself as a guinea pig and see what the results would be. Unfortunately, I have not found the strain they use (L. crispatus) available on the market in the amount they are using in the tests, however I have found it in smaller amounts. The other strains that are mentioned over and over as being specific to the vaginal microbiome are are L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri, There are others, to be sure, but these ones are mentioned most frequently associated with studies specific to BV. Currently, I am finishing my 3rd antibiotic (second time on metronyzadole) and on my 5th day of nightly boric acid suppository use. I have had no discomfort whatsoever using them and from the first morning after use, there has been absolutely no odor. I plan to use the boric acid for 2 more nights, finishing up with the last day of my antibiotics and then begin a regimen of probiotic suppositories, containing as many of the above mentioned flora as I can find. Additionally, I continue to take my daily oral probiotics as well, hoping that some of these will take up residence in my own microbiome and help keep my Ph balanced naturally and keep off the antibiotics for good. Since this self-imposed project is still ongoing, I will do my best to post a follow up account of what happened as I go along. It is my hope that my story can help others ask questions and do their own diligence as many, many other women who have written/spoken about their experiences have helped me.

This works exactly as marketed. Would recommend using before bed or before fun. It produces liquid and would not be suitable to use before going out for the day. Great product, I’ve purchased a subscription. I vary in uses per week from about 1-3 times.

Works well. Female-owned company I prefer to support.

I can’t believe how great this works. I took one pill and literally 15 minutes later there’s absolutely no smell. I’m so glad that I purchased and tried. Highly recommend this product.

Very good product. Works quickly!

I use these pretty religiously for chronic yeast infections, and the pH-D suppositories are the only ones I trust. There's no fancy addition to the chemical mixture or gel capsule, and I never have issues with the packaging or storage even in a humid climate. Price point is also competitive with other products on the market, and you're getting a trustier product.

This product right here is all you need if you suffer from yeasts.It has brought back my confidence and i highly recommend to anyone suffering from yeasts.

I bought this a bit ago, always have had a sensitive …(V) anything can set off my PH balance to soaps laundry detergent my monthly etc long story short I decided to use this yesterday night I woke up and all my symptoms were gone. I did a bit of research and it says to take this once a day at bedtime and to insert it far up there so you don’t experience irritation from the borax take for 14 days, this being the first day of using them and I already feel back to normal. It works and it works fast, I haven’t experienced any burning or irritation from it so far but it will make things a little messy so wear a liner or pad. 100/100 will be using this only if anything throws it off again.
