Balance Active BV Gel

My best friend purchased these and recommended them. I often feel off-balance after my period and these are brilliant for making things good down there you get seven treatments in a pack so great value for money I tend to use them after my period but my friend uses them regularly as she suffers from bv They are easy to use. I recommend using them at night time, so they get a chance to work properly.

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.

I feel like a lot of women aren't aware of bacterial vaginosis and they just go about their lives not seeing a doctor. I wish the public was more aware of this. It works great.

Thought i would give this a go as things were feeling a bit off and not quite right after my period. Wasn't convinced it could work but after the first night things felt alot fresher and odour had dramatically reduced. Am continuing to use for the full 7 days and am noticing improvement each day. Really easy to use, no burning or stinging (which i was worried about as suffer with vaginal atrophy due to perimenopause)and only slight leakage overnight. I think this is great to use at the first sign of symptoms and to potentially avoid the need for antibiotics if you can nip things in the bud before they take hold.

Love the product. Feeling so fresh after just one pill 😊
