Can this product get rid of post-period yeast infections?

Doctors have found a clear link between vaginal pH and infections; but how does that affect the period products we use?

The normally acidic vaginal pH may become more alkaline during your period due to blood traveling through the vaginal canal. Our bodies are able to handle a certain level of pH fluctuation, but the period products we use could be contributing to an elevated pH. For example, tampons absorb and retain not only your menses but other essential fluid that your body needs to maintain a healthy pH. When the pH is elevated, some women can develop bacterial vaginosis and experience symptoms such as odor, itching, and irritation often associated with yeast infections..

Many women are now seeking alternatives to conventional period products and making the switch to menstrual cups or discs, such as FLEX.

Both menstrual discs and cups do not alter the natural environment of the vagina because they are made of medical grade materials that do not absorb menses leaving you feeling fresh and infection free.

 

The Period product that will make you forget you’re on your period

The discomfort associated with your period may actually be caused by the product you’re using, not your body.

Period products that plug the vaginal canal, like tampons and menstrual cups can worsen discomfort during your period because your body is stretching to fit them. This distention in the vagina can worsen cramping and bloating.

But there’s a new period product promising to give you the most comfortable period of your life, the menstrual disc, FLEX™. In fact, 70% of women say their cramps were significantly less noticeable when using FLEX vs. other period products.

Plus FLEX is the only internally worn product not linked to TSS.
