Can the Nourishing Vulva Balm be used as a lubricant?
While the pH-D Nourishing Vulva Balm is formulated to moisturize and nourish the external areas of the vulva, it is not designed to be used as a lubricant during sexual activity. It is ideal for daily hydration, but we recommend using products specifically designed for lubrication during intimacy, as oils can degrade condoms made of latex materials. For internal vaginal hydration, consider our Vaginal Moisturizing Gel. The two products work beautifully together.
Can I use the Nourishing Vulva Balm internally?
Nourishing Vulva Balm is intended for external use only. Apply it to the vulva, including the labia and external areas, for soothing hydration and nourishment. While our #1 Doctor Recommended Boric Acid Suppositories and our Moisturizing Vaginal Gel address internal concerns, the Vulva Balm is perfect for external moisturizing.
How often should I use the Nourishing Vulva Balm?
You can use the pH-D Nourishing Vulva Balm as often as needed. Whether it’s part of your daily routine or applied whenever you need a little extra hydration, this balm is formulated to provide comfort whenever you desire. Just like our trusted boric acid products, this balm fits seamlessly into your personal care routine.
Why would I need a vulva balm?
There are several causes for vulva dryness and irritation, including hormonal changes due to menopause, postpartum recovery, and certain medications or treatments. The pH-D Nourishing Vulva Balm provides deep hydration and nourishment, helping to soothe and protect the delicate vulva skin. For internal concerns, our #1 Doctor Recommended Boric Acid Suppositories and our Moisturizing Vaginal Gel are an ideal complement.
How much of the Vulva Balm should I apply?
You can apply as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Start with a small amount, and increase as needed. Our balm is designed to provide luxurious hydration, so you can use it as often and as liberally as you like. Layer one application over the next until you feel you have enough moisture, much like how our boric acid suppositories can be used as needed for internal care.
Can I use the Nourishing Vulva Balm if I’m pregnant?
Yes, the pH-D Nourishing Vulva Balm is free of any ingredients that would restrict its use during pregnancy. However, as with any personal care product, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before introducing it into your routine while pregnant or trying to conceive, just as you would when considering any vaginal health product.
Is there a scent to the Nourishing Vulva Balm?
No, our Nourishing Vulva Balm is completely unscented. We’ve intentionally left out fragrances to ensure that the balm is gentle and safe for even the most sensitive skin, much like the safety and care you expect from our #1 Doctor Recommended Boric Acid Suppositories.
Can I use the Nourishing Vulva Balm if I’m not going through menopause?
Absolutely! While many use our Nourishing Vulva Balm to combat dryness related to menopause, it’s great for anyone seeking extra hydration. It’s perfect for everyday use, pre and post-natal care, or to soothe irritation from activities like shaving or waxing. Our #1 Doctor Recommended Boric Acid Suppositories and our Vaginal Moisturizing Gel also complement your routine by addressing vaginal health, while the balm focuses on external care for your vulva.
Can I use the Nourishing Vulva Balm after shaving or waxing?
Yes! Our balm is an excellent choice for soothing and hydrating after hair removal, such as shaving or waxing. It helps to care for irritated skin and provides long-lasting moisture, keeping your skin soft and comfortable. This level of care complements the comfort our Moisturizing Boric Acid Suppositories provide for vaginal health.
What is the best time to use the Nourishing Vulva Balm?
The pH-D Nourishing Vulva Balm can be used at any time of day or night. Many people find it particularly beneficial to apply before bed as part of their evening self-care routine, allowing the balm to moisturize and soothe the delicate skin of the vulva overnight, much like the soothing care provided by our boric acid suppositories.
