Happy v Dr. Formulated Vaginal Probiotics for Women Odor & Itch Support, Urinary & Gut Health, pH Balance | Womens Daily Probiotic with Patented Prebiotics & Lactobacillus for Feminine Wellness

i never write reviews so this would say something! i was struggling with bv that wouldnt go away. i got on the proper antibiotics to get rid of it but i asked my ob if there were any probiotics she would recommend to prevent bv in the future. she recommended this one. i took it consistently for 3 months and had no issues with my vaginal health. this past month, i decided to go off of it just because it can be expensive. almost immediately after stopping, i got a uti. then i realized that i have struggled with reoccurring uti’s but once i got on this probiotic, i didn’t get one. i don’t think it’s even marketed to help with urinary health, but it has prevented both bv and uti’s for me. i can’t recommend it enough.

I have been taking these pro/prebiotics for 2 months now. Since a teen, I’ve had issues with recurrent yeast infections and bacteria vaginosis. After many years of reading and learning about these 2 conditions, I’ve done things differently for myself, such as making sure I drink lots of water, change the type of underwear I wear. These only worked so much.I am now in my 40s and I feel like I have finally found what works best for me. I do have to take these every day and continue with my increased water intake and comfortable, breathable underwear. After taking my first bottle, I forgot to order my next on time, so I had missed 3 days in a row of these supplements. I surely felt it. My ph had gotten thrown off. Now I’m back on tract and have not had any issues.I’ve tried other brands of probiotics for the vagina, but something was able to throw off my ph I had developed a yeast infection and BV until I started taking these (minus the 3 days I missed taking them) and I have been good ever since.I don’t really like having to take pills every day but if these will keep me comfortable with no issues, I will continue buying these!

This product is great! I struggled with recurrent bv for months. Antibiotics fixed the problem while I was taking them, but it always came back within a few weeks. I did research, and more research, and more research.Everything said to use probiotics, but always orally. It made sense (kinda), but the long wait time and 50/50 results were concerning- these get expensive; and I do not have any time or money to waste.I found a study from the NIH that used l.acidopholus in a douche, instead of taking it by mouth. It was a small study, 40 people total and 20 in the control group; but they had almost a complete reduction in symptoms for most of the participants. They even tested negative!I was desperate and slightly out of my mind, so. I went looking for probiotic vaginal suppositories. *THIS IS NOT THAT* but that's how I used it. I emptied a pill into my menstrual disc and kept it inserted for 12 hours; where I removed it, cleaned it, and reinserted it because I could still feel some powder inside.It has only been one day since I removed it, I didn't use or insert anything else like a douche- the powder absorbed on it's own and I didn't need to. There's was no discomfort from using it this way, although there was some leakage so I do recommend a pad or disc/cup and doing it at night.The smell is completely gone! So is my discharge! I feel like a new person, I haven't been this comfortable in months. I cannot say that I recommend doing this, this is not the intended way to use this product, and I will update if it comes back again, but really genuinely this product will help you. Can't speak to taking it orally though, sorry.It has vitamin c in it I think, my disc had a strong vitamin c (chalky citrus type) scent when I cleaned it for the last time.

Embarrassing to write a review about your own BV but hey, I’m here to help other women. I’ve had smelly BV for my entire adult life. Only time I ever improved the smell was when I went on a strict keto diet for a year but even that didn’t completely eliminate the odor.After having my first baby, the UTIs started. Within the past year, the cuca has dried up like an overdone turkey and it’s painful to have intercourse. Anyway, I’m super self conscious about the smell down under, wearing pads and under there spray to cover up the stench. I wash with Honey Pot and do all the things including taking antibiotics on the regular but nope, my little BV bestie is always there to greet me and others around me. It’s super special when your kids start noticing…my youngest starts gagging if she’s anywhere near the bathroom when I’m in there. And when I bend down legs open crouch style you can envision a haze of odor fumes wafting up to your nose…the kind that smells like funkdified menstrual cycle garnished with 2 week old baked salmon leftovers.And imagine this, I work as a dental hygienist in a saddle chair - legs straddling the chair exposing my parts to a patient with a wide open mouth…I have a mask to protect myself from the toxic fumes but my poor patients…it’s a dilemma of vaginal magnitude to say the least.So, I was skeptical after trying many different types of probiotics over the years. I was hopeless that something would actually help clear this up. To my surprise, I started to notice a significant improvement in the smell after a week! I’ve finished a bottle now and the BV smell is almost gone! I still have a slight odor but I think it’s coming from a UTI because I haven’t been able to stop those yet so I want to try their UTI line next.I haven’t experienced any significant GI issues since starting the pills but if your gut microbiome is all messed up, it wouldn’t be a complete surprise to have some side effects from taking a quality probiotic like this.I think the longer you’ve had BV, like in my case, many years, it might take longer to rid yourself of the smell. I’m going to continue taking the probiotics until I’m peachy keen if you know what I mean ; ) try this stuff, you won’t regret it

Works pretty well, but I sure wish they weren't nasty giant horse pills that are about impossible to take. Especially taking 2 of them a day, as soon as they hit your tounge they are rank.
