COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT YONI VAGINAL SUPPOSITORIES

What are the pills filled with?

Yoni Vaginal Suppositories are gelatin capsules filled with boric acid. Boric acid is found in seawater and most commonly originate in dried salt lake beds. It has mild antiseptic and antifungal actions. Vaginal boric acid contains probiotics AKA  "friendly bacteria" and works by preventing Candida fungi from growing. It is also a homeopathic prescription medicine that also contains probiotics or "friendly bacteria", as well as the antioxidants Vitamin C and E.

​

When should Yoni Vaginal Suppositories be used? 

These suppositories can be used when you feel a little “off” as our pH may shift before/after our period, unprotected sex or high sugar and meat consumption. Many women are also prescribed suppositories by gynecologist to help women prevent disrupted pH balances after sexual activity.

This product helps: Eliminate odors, Fight bacterial vaginosis & yeast infections, Burning, Itching, Unbalanced discharge, Dryness & more.

​

What should I expect?

Since everyone's yoni is different, some women are more moist than others. Those who are more moist will experience faster dissolving suppositories.

For women who are dryer than others, make sure you are drinking lots of water. Some women find it helpful to dip the suppository in coconut oil before inserting. This will increase and speed up the dissolving period. 

Your body will naturally take what it needs and discard anything extra. Some women experience the capsule discarded in their vaginal canal which is completely normal. Since this will be visible feel free to pull out the excess (you do not have to dig). As stated, this is completely normal. Even if not completely dissolved, the powder (boric acid) is still doing its job. 

​

If you experience abdominal or pelvic pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, blood in urine, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or breathing difficulty while using, seek advice from your doctor immediately. These side effects have not been reported with the use of boric acid vaginal suppositories and could be related to a more serious existing condition.

​

What are the side effects?

A milky-colored, watery discharge upon waking up in the morning after using a suppository is normal. Many women find that using a panty liner is helpful. The discharge is a combination of the boric acid mixed with vaginal secretions. If the woman is not moist naturally, you might notice a tiny bit of clumping of the capsule in the vaginal canal, this is completely normal. You may pull out the excess if you chose while washing with warm water. Less than 10% of women experience any adverse side effects while using boric acid vaginal suppositories. The main side effect is a mild burning sensation. This can be considered normal since boric acid is more acidic than the normal vaginal secretions.
