Boric Acid Vag Suppositories

Has anyone used this before? When is the best time to use it? Is it going to be bad to use this if I don’t necessarily “need it”. Idk I just bought it because I feel like it might help keep things healthy and balanced. How do you use it? Does it help you?

This is so TMI. I’m VERY sensitive down there. Throughout my life I’ve struggled with UTI’s and Yeast infections so often it’s sad!! When I was younger (7/8) they found a small tear in my urethra that was causing the constant UTI’s and now I don’t get them that often anymore. But I still struggle with discomfort, burning/itching quite often… Mostly when I’m sexually active. When I’m celibate, I always feel so clean and healthy down there. I’m married and expected to have sex often at least once a week, and I really want to sometimes!! but I DREAD it because I know the discomfort and pain that comes after the fact for the next couple of days… I literally have to ice myself down there afterwards. So TMI. any tips or advice are very much welcome and appreciated. Thanks 🙏

If you’re struggling with this I would definitely recommend not using those in also sensitive and it’s not comfy for us girls who are sensitive down there to use those or anything like that, I’d go see your obgyn if you are having that kind of issue after sexual relations

If you do decide to use it, I LOVE that brand and just use it as directed. I also LOVE their Flora Power ones. The only thing is that they say in their FAQs that you shouldn’t use while pregnant or breastfeeding. Not sure if either of those apply to you, but just in case!

I love these suppositories! If I ever don’t feel fresh down there or feel like my ph is off, I use one and any odor or discomfort is gone within 24 hours! I discovered boric acid suppositories about 5 years ago and have never looked back 😁

i use a different one and they’re the best, boric acid is good. it works for me at least. it’s recommended to put it in during night time since it’s best to not be standing up and no sec within 24 hours of using it i believe

Yes those work!
I’d also recommend making sure hubby is straight from the shower when having sex.

Hi, as someone that also has the same EXACT problems as you.. I was also recommended boric acid by my obgyn.. especially since after having my daughter I also had chronic urethra cysts.. not fun.
With that being said, boric acid is safe to use when used correctly. I was directed the best time to use it is right after your period with no sex for 48 hours. But, because it is boric acid (basically poison) you CAN NOT use when there are open wounds including cuts or scrapes. I will say It does help!! Hope this helps! But please also contact your pcp, or obgyn as they know you, your body, and lifestyle best!

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Go to dinner ideas

Looking for recipes you use in your family that are not the traditional lasagna, shepards pie, ect

If you DO NOT buy things second hand, it is mainly because:

Answer only if it applies to you.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️

Hiiii!

Hey yall! I’m Mahala and socially awkward as hell. I’m looking for other moms to connect with to hang out in person or on FaceTime. Drink coffee while the kids destroy the house. Literally anything. Making friends is hard in motherhood when you don’t know how to talk to people. I’m pretty low maintenance friend and we can talk whenever. And I’m down to do anything within reason. Let’s chat!
