Discharge and odor?

A lot of this can be normal, but some things can make this worse.

  • NO VAGISIL!
  • No wipes, no douches, no body wash or other feminine wash 
  • Cotton underwear is best to "let it breathe"
  • Yeast infections are common after you finish a course of antibiotics. You can treat this with over the counter medications.
  • Oral pro-biotics can help balance the vaginal flora too.

Dryness and personal lubricants

Many over the counter lubricants can actually be irritating and not helpful. 


Many do not have the right pH for your vagina or the right water balance (osmolality), and often contain parabens. 


Try a lubricant with no preservatives or fragrances. Some examples of non irritating lubricants are:

  • Astroglide natural
  • Good clean love organic personal lubricant
