BV gels are gentle to your vagina than hydrocortisone cream or a canesten type product. What is Bacterial Vaginosis? BV is a change in your vagina' pH - our vaginas are home to a species of bacteria, lactobacillus (lactobacillus rhamnosus), which produces lactic acid and helps to control the growth of other more harmful micro-organisms. If these deplete, your vagina can become less acidic and more prone to infections such as BV. Studies have shown that during and after going through the menopause, the level of lactobacillus in the vagina decreases, and the vaginal pH becomes less acidic, increasing the risk of infections.

The only product on earth that works for me. You can feel the difference after only a day or two of use. Make sure to keep using until all symptoms have gone as if you stop too soon, you’ll be miserable again. Amazing product. Just a life saver.
