Bacterial Vaginosis Treatment - BV Balance Activ Gel - 7 Tube Box

Game changer! This isn't a cure but it is a start to a healing journey. Diet, hygiene routine and stress levels should be taken into consideration for vaginal issues. The importance of vaginal health is not discussed enough.

Absolutely fantastic product! Would definitely purchase again!

I was opposed to trying gels because of the water content, but I saw that it was specifically formulated to be a 3.8 pH level and after using it twice and testing my pH with a strip, I have found that to be correct. I have tried their “pessary“/suppository, and have noticed that it has the same effect of completely neutralizing all odor. The gel is a bit more “hydrating” and cleansing and while the suppository is definitely moisturizing and did lower my pH a bit, the suppository was more effective at that. The pH strip was lighter after one use compared to the color it is when I use the suppository. The first time I used it I thought the length of the applicator was a bit short and the tip is a bit pointy but the overall feel of the packaging is very smooth and sleek. The second time i used it, because I was so moisturized and lubricated from using it the previous night, I had absolutely no problem with insertion. This is good for virgins. With the first use, as it leaked out while I was in bed, I noticed the slightest burning sensation. It was more of a tingle, but it went away really quickly and after I stopped leaking and it was all out, nothing felt odd. I lightly cleaned myself and everything felt normal. The second time I use this, I made sure to not only insert it deeper, but I folded the base of the product in half while it was still inside so I can make sure I got everything in there while sliding my fingers from the base of it to my body like it was a sauce packet. I also made sure to use it right before I fell asleep to get the most from this product by making sure the solution is in contact and inside my body for as long as possible. When I woke up and checked my pH level, it was slightly lighter than the first time I used it. Also, because I kept it in for so long without any premature leakage it actually acted like a cleanser even more than before since I really feel like it was able to sink a bit further in and while i was on the toilet it slowly grabbed everything along my walls and carried it out. it’s literally a pH lowering cleanser. I’m going to stock up on this. I’ll use it right after my period (since it is more viscous than the solid suppositories I use) as a more effective way to cleanse the vagina faster than discharge does when my cycle ends (the pH of blood is too high). Then I’ll use vitamin C and probiotic suppositories 1-3 times a week. I have only had BV once, months ago, and I don’t want to get it again. Since then I’ve been checking my pH regularly and this has definitely helped at lowering it, keeping it low, and completely neutralizing odors. It’s like boric acid but healthier for you and your pH. You can smell the gel after it leaves you body and it will smell like water. You will literally have no smell right after using this. I hope this product becomes more popular in America.I first bought it from the seller “The Station Approach UK” and the packaging was intact and clean. I bought 3 more from a different seller and the packaging as shown in later photos is either crushed or dirty. None were completely open though. The product from The Station Approach UK was newer as it had an expiration date that was a month later than what I received from the other seller.

GRAPHIC REVIEW-Please, please do your research first. On second thought, to be honest, even if I were to have read the reviews, I was so desperate on trying an "alternative" that I would have still taken the chance, as I have been eyeing this gel for quite some time now. I am a woman who suffers from this every other cycle, so I got so tired of taking Metronidazole, that I decided to try the BV Activ Gel. It was very simple to use, but BOY OH BOY let me tell you. After almost two days, I started breaking out down there; swollen, red, it just did not look normal. All of this over the gel? I even scratched so much that my labia on both sides hardened and could hardly walk NORMAL.. :) I would even try sitz baths with Organic Apple Cider.. i had to stay home and literally place ice cubes down there; I cried because I just wanted to take a brush and scrub down there; so much itching, irritation, etc... I have never in my life of 41 years have such a bad reaction. It INDUCED a yeast infection; I have had them in the past before dont get me wrong, but it has been over 5-7 years and it usually goes away on its own anyways.. Not this one.. I have just gotten back from the ER and was given fluconazole; i take it every day for 3 days...She even gave me a refill which I probably will not use because I will never ever ever ever use this stuff again and as I said earlier, It is very seldom that I get yeast infections anyways. I read in one of the reviews this very same thing happened to another woman... I could hardly walk yesterday; I purchase AZO yeast pills and no relief for me, then 4 hours later I got the Monistat 1 Day kit with the cooling wipes and also the itching cream...It calmed down for a little while, but the next day I just wanted to buy a whole new vajay-jay! :( I was later told by the doctor in the ER that I should have used the 5 or 7 day Monistat as it is more effective than the 1 day complete kit? I spent over $40 for yeast infection meds and I am finally feeling better as this is day 1 of the fluconazole thanks to the prescription from the ER... This is not to put down the product, but this is my experience, and never again.. NOWAY!

The application is neither hard nor messy. I had to wait a while after the treatment time to review if it really worked, and it did. However, initially using it caused a little discomfort, as I did have some backflow due to my poor application, and the contact with my skin caused a minor burning sensation, which worried me. However, it was foreign to my body, and the reaction did not last more than an hour. I would say grab it and give it a try. Personally, my BV is not recurring. I had it one other time and I used prescribed capsules, and those did work better, but for the price and no doctor's visit, this product certainly did the job.

It works, but I don't like the smell it leaves after a day.

Such a great producr
