Try a little hydrogen peroxide in your vagina instead
I know this sounds weird, but hear me out. Three percent hydrogen peroxide will leave your vagina clean, fresh-smelling and healthy. In fact, an Italian study conducted by the department of gynecology at the University of Naples found that douching with 30 milliliters of hydrogen peroxide every day for a week eliminated BV symptoms in participants.
The study, which included 58 women aged between 18 and 42 years old, were asked to douche with 30 milliliters of three-percent hydrogen peroxide in the evening for a week. A follow-up was conducted three months after the end of treatment. Researchers found that the use of hydrogen peroxide in vaginas eliminated the main symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, and in particular an accompanying bad odor in 89 percent of women.
Here’s why I use hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide in the vagina is comparable to using metronidazole or clindamycin as a vaginal cream. Furthermore, during the study, hydrogen peroxide restored normal vaginal bacterial flora and pH in 100 percent of the study cases.
