trimo-san alternative (natural)?

Body: 

Hi everyone,
This is my first post but I have found some very useful info here in the past.

I'm wondering if the Trimo-san alternative that I've seen mentioned here, available at the wholewoman store I believe, does anything for PH.
Is it just a safe natural lubricant (which is a great thing on it's own) or does it also help control the vaginal ph? Lubrication is good but what I need is something to keep the ph in check with the pessary in. Hmmm, I hope this isn't TMI but without Trimo-san, my ph gets off track and causes an odor. One that I am not willing to put up with.

If not, does anyone have any suggestions for something othe than Trimo-san, in regards to ph?

Thanks so much!

Hi Tiff,

I think pH is a measure that is only applied to aqueous solutions, not fats and oils. If Bliss Balm doesn't work for you, surely there is something better than using a common pesticide!

Good luck!

Hi Tiff

Have you tried a weak vinegar douche before inserting the pessary with Bliss Balm? Maybe not every time, but when you notice the odour? Let's face it, your vagina doesn't really like having a foreign object in it for long periods of time. I am not sure of the dilution, and it probably depends on the pH of the water you are using with it, but I am sure a health professional or the Net would give you guidelines.

Hope you can find a way of keeping up the pessary if you find it useful, and giving your vagina a helping hand to deal with it.

Cheers

Hi Louise,
Thanks for responding. I haven't tried a vinegar douche but will certainly look into it.
I can tell my body is not too happy with the foreign object, but trimosan is a big help.

thanks so much,

Hi Christine,
I agree there has to be something better, although I didn't know I was effectively using a pesticide! Yikes! Honestly, I'm afraid to look up the ingredients to see what else they are used for because I know none of it's good.
Are you saying that the Bliss Balm has the potential to help with the ph problem? If so, I will definitely try it. I just don't want to add yet another product to my collection if it hasn't been beneficial for others for this use.

Thanks so much ~ this forum has been very informative so far!

I don't have any data about how Bliss Balm affects vaginal pH. Many women use it now and I've only had one complaint - and if I remember correctly she said she had to reach for the jar a second time during sex, so she didn't think it a great lubricant - lol.
