For Vaginal Yeast Infection "boric acid has been helpful to my symptoms. I had been in out from urgent Care and from my doctor they all give the antibiotics for STD, and much more, but it but won't go away. They would tell I might have diabetes. I told my husband I'll try this boric acid. I only have sex with my husband I am confused why I have this problem. He checked himself too. But I am worried I didn't take for a year and now right after my monthly period was starting really itchy again "

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This gave me slight burning in my vaginal canal that gave me vulvodynia PTSD, and then I pooped so hard. Consider consulting a health care professional before inserting this stuff in your body. Now I have to wait for it to be expelled from my body and then my vagina has to do its thing and get back to normal. Not fun."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've used it twice now. The first time was almost 10 years ago. I had recurring thrush and my dr said I needed boric acid as it was a bit of a different type to the normal. What ever that means. It was great, worked well and didn’t really get it again for years. Now I’m trying it again but am getting a bit of irritation and not sure it’s working the same way. My immune system was weakened by the V and I read it might not be good for people with weakened immune system. Might try just using a couple of days at a time as it was fine the first couple of days. Please note, those getting it online and then having bad reactions, might want to consider that they are not getting a high quality and regulated product. Who knows what you’re really getting off there. Common, please. Anything going in to your vagina should be from a reputable source, not online"

"After being hesitant on buying boric acid I did my research and decided to order some. I’ve never had any problems down there until I got on birth control ( Nexplanon ) I started realizing a odor down there which was probably BV, boric acid helped take that odor away in just 12 hours. I recommend 100% What works for me might not work for others so please take at your own risk and ask your doctor/ or do your research before trying."

For Dermatological Disorders "I’ve been having an allergic reaction the past two months, for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what I was allergic to, countless trips to the allergist because my lips would swell, eyes, and tongue on the worst occasion. Hives as well. I stopped using the boric acid and it hasn’t happened to me since. Everyone’s body is different but I was extremely allergic, would love to know if anyone else experienced this"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Every so often, usually a day or so often intercourse, I get a funky odor going on down there. It’s something that I feel uneasy and embarrassed about. So I thought I would try some boric acid suppositories and I was amazed that the smell was gone within 12 hours!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Omg!! I used it two nights in a row and now I am cramping bad, bleeding, irritated down there, and even having blood clots. I have to wear a pad due to the constant discharge. I will never again use it again. It’s awful."

"Honestly, this has been a lifesaver. I've had BV since I was 13... I'm now 25!! I've had this chronic infection for so long that I'm embarrassed to say that I just gave up and lived with it. Every time I took antibiotics, I'd get a YI, and when I treated that, the BV came back. I was so scared to put anything else near my vag that would mess it up further, but I thought, 'What have I got to lose?' So, I did a LOT of research and found 100% boric acid suppositories (all tested and legit), and after 2 DAYS, I had a normal vagina. For goodness' sake, don't buy pills off Amazon - of course, they won't work; God knows what they actually put in them. Do some proper research. I can't remember the company, but they were £15 ISH and come in a green bag online."

"I've had a little pinkish discharge with a slight odor, and started to use boric acid for one day so far. I'm using the capsules that I bought at the drugstore that you insert with your finger. After one night, they have worked beautifully. No odor and no discharge - GONE! I would recommend 100%!
