Question 2

any precautions for using vagisil powder in my underwear for a sweating issue? how often can i use it? have severe sweating from medicine side effect.

Accepted Answer

Why vagisil?: This product is marketed for "feminine odor".  If you are simply sweating, any powder, even corn starch, will do and you will not risk anything from extra perfumes or chemicals.  Be sure you are wearing cotton underwear and changing often.  Ask your doctor whether this "sweating" is an expected side effect, and how soon you can stop taking it.

Vagisil: You can apply vagisil externally by hand.

Question 6

please explain what exactly does vagisil do ?

Accepted Answer

Vagisil: It can reduce irritation/ itching of tissues outside of the vagina.

Question 7

what does vagisil mean when they say external use?

Accepted Answer

Not inside: It means you dont put it all the way inside.

Question 8

how do you use vagisil wipes and are they effective?

Accepted Answer

Feminine wipes: Many feminine wipes contain ingredients such as fragrances or preservatives that can irritate delicate tissues in the vulvar area and can cause a contact dermatitis.  Best way to take care of the area is to wash with a mild, fragrance-free soap or cleansing bar, avoid using washcloths or sponges (just use hands) and use a fragrance-free dye-free detergent when washing your clothes and underwear.

Question 9

i want to know, what are y'alls thoughts on vagisil ph balance wash?

Accepted Answer

Please, No!: These commercial products like Vagisil pH wash are totally unnecessary as the vagina is like many ovens, self-cleaning. Moreover, you will 'wash away" the good bacteria (Doderlein's) that keep the vaginal pH stabilized and make you more susceptible to vaginal infections.

Question 10

is it okay to use vagisil odor block protection wash? how often may i use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, vagisil is a safe product to use.  I would use at most 2 times a week.  A lot of women are using products unnecessarily.  If your vagina actually smells, then you should consider being evaluated for a bacterial infection. Vagina is like a self-cleaning oven, it actually doesn't need any products to keep it fresh and clean!  your diet, exercise, sleep are more important for vaginal health!
