How to use the Vaginal Boric Acid Suppositories

Want to make sure the suppository is “up” far enough? After you insert the suppository into your vagina, give yourself a good “kegel” squeeze. Your vaginal muscles will take the suppository right up where it should be AND you’ve now just done a great kegel.

The suppository "melts" from warmth and moisture. Be sure to keep the bottle in a cool dry place and wash and DRY hands thoroughly before handling each suppository. Insert into vagina quickly, the moisture and warmth from hands is enough to start the melting process if you're just casually holding onto it!

How to use the Vaginal Boric Acid Suppositories:

• Wash hands and nails well with soap and warm water before handling.
• You can insert these little capsules into your vagina with clean fingers (available for purchase with applicators). You don’t even have to lie down. 
• It’s so easy! 
• Use after sexual intercourse, menstruation cycle, or anytime your pH feels "off."
