Boric Acid Moisturizing Suppositories FAQs

Q: What is a moisturizing suppository?
A: It is a small capsule that is inserted into the vagina to assist with vaginal odor and provide moisturizing benefits once the suppository has dissolved.

Q: When and how often should I insert the pH-D suppository?
A: We recommend using one vaginal moisturizing suppository at night. For extreme odor you can use one suppository every 12 hours. We recommend wearing a panty liner, especially when using during the day as there may be watery leakage.

Q: How long should you use pH-D?
A: For vaginal odor, insert one pH-D suppository into the vagina per day, preferably before bedtime, until odor free. For vaginal dryness and improving vaginal moisture, insert one pH-D vitamin E suppository into the vagina per day, preferably before bedtime, as needed.

Q: How do I insert the suppository into my vagina?
A: You insert the vitamin E suppository like you would a tampon. You can use your fingers and push it up until you can’t feel it anymore.

Q: What are the possible issues with boric acid suppositories?
A: Some women may experience mild burning or minor irritations. This may occur if the vitamin E vaginal suppository was not inserted far enough into the vagina or if you have any irritated or open skin within the vagina. Women may also experience watery leakage, so we recommend using a panty liner at night. Contact your healthcare provider if you're experiencing worse discomfort or other vaginal symptoms as it may be a sign of an infection.

Q: I used a suppository and have experienced some spotting, should I be concerned?
A: A small percentage of women experience spotting when using boric acid suppositories. It is safe to continue use if you are comfortable doing so. However, if it worsens or you begin to experience burning or any minor irritations, we recommend you discontinue use.

Q: I used a suppository and have experienced some bleeding, should I be concerned?
A: A small percentage of women experience bleeding when using boric acid suppositories. It is safe to continue use if it is slight and you are comfortable doing so. However, discontinue use if it worsens and becomes more pronounced. Also, discontinue use if you experience burning or irritation.

Q: Is it safe to nurse my child and use this product?
