Various factors can influence vaginal health, especially your pH. Never wash your vulva with soap! This disrupts your pH (remember we want it to be more acidic than alkaline) - soap is alkaline. Some lubricants can disrupt the microbiome too so look for ‘microbiome friendly brands’. High sugar diets, stress, smoking, alcohol, hormonal birth control, IUD’s and antibiotics can all disrupt the microbiome too, which can lead to vaginal health concerns. Something that’s commonly overlooked though is your underwear, you’d be surprised what a difference switching to organic bamboo underwear can make! I’ve recently thrown away all of my old synthetic and cotton underwear and switched and the difference is amazing. Organic bamboo is the only moisture wicking, antibacterial and pH friendly fabric so it’s really helpful to maintain a healthy vagina.

The most common signs of vaginal infections or imbalances:

• Change in odour: fishy smell, acidic, sweet or pungent, rubbish/rotten, bleach
• Change in discharge: excess discharge outside of ovulation, watery, ‘gushing’, thick/chunky, discolouration like grey, green, yellow, clear
• Vulval symptoms: swelling, redness, irritation, itch, bleeding, reactivity 
• Pain or discomfort: after or during sex, after your period or during your bleed, random pains throughout the month?

By breathable we mean, choosing organic bamboo that allows your skin to breathe, this will prevent trapping of moisture & heat that lead to infections such as thrush or bacteria vaginosis. 2 highly common vaginal issues in women! 

We recommend bamboo over synthetic & polyester & even cotton!

A simple step that supports your vaginal microbiome & hormone health. 

First step …

✔️ Switch out your synthetic underwear to Jaymes organic bamboo breathable panties!

Essentially following a wholefood diet which is rich in antioxidants, polyphenols and proteins. Minimising things like alcohol, refined sugar, gluten and additives can help to support the health of your gut lining, immune function and overall digestion. Green tea specifically is something I recommend to everyone, it’s specific for vaginal microbiome health as it is antioxidant, can help increase lactobacillus levels and is antimicrobial against yeasts and some bacteria! Your gut health is also important for a healthy vagina. If you’ve got low levels of healthy flora in the gut microbiome this can translate to an imbalance in the vaginal microbiome - especially lactobacillus. Often overgrowths of yeasts like candida in the gut can drive recurrent thrush, same for bacteria overgrowth as these can drive recurrent BV. If you’re someone who experiences thrush or vaginal symptoms when or after taking antibiotics, this could be a sign there’s an underlying imbalance or low levels of beneficial gut flora.
