"I always get BV either after my cycle ends or after my partner ejaculates inside me, and I got tired of constantly having to be prescribed antibiotics plus an antifungal whenever it flared up. I bought boric acid suppositories and gained relief from the smell and discharge overnight! I don't know what the previous lady bought and used, but I did not experience any burning or irritation."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Who thought using boric acid was a good idea, might be good for killing insects but not so good for sensitive skin in women's private parts. Was recommended by a female doctor to use this for reoccurring thrush. Inserted one capsule that lasted an hour before the burning and flatulence drove me crazy. Wasted my money. Won't be trying this again anytime soon."

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 healthcare 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 took my first dose tonight, and my yoni is on fire. I hope it stops burning soon. I won't be taking this again. Cost me $30 at Walgreens... ripoff. Take at your own risk."
