Where to buy borax and which brand. What is the amount for the bath to soak?  Does this help the itching swelling and slits? I heard drinking borax helps too. How much ? 

Thank you

Bella

    Yikes, don't think I would drink it!!  When the granules don't dissolve anymore you have enough borax in the solution.

      Yikes I thought I read something in the posts some drink it why I ask. Do you use it and soak in a bath?  If so how much do you use and what brand and where do you get it. I have been seeing a lot about borax soaking.

    If you are in the UK then you can get your Borax from where Sedg does.  I get mine from the same place.  If you are in the USA then you can buy it in most supermarkets.    I don't bath in it.  I mix a small amount with warm water in a jam jar, give it a good shake and then swab my vulva and anus with it using a cotton wool ball.   When my LS was bad I was doing that every bathroom visit.  Now I just do it most mornings.   I also use coconut oil which I get from ALDI.

    Thank you all for the help. I am doing a tablespoon of borax in a bath soaking for 20 mins. I also made up a bottle with a teaspoon that I spray on a cotton ball after shower and going to the bathroom. The itching is gone. I read someone wear about drinking borax I thought it was not right glad I have you all.
