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.

    Have a look at the Experiment with Borax thread on this site.  Please, please do not drink Borax.

    Wishing you well, Ann

    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.

      Thanks Sedg but I don't think I would find it relaxing.  I'd probably worry I was going to fall off or squash the bidet!! x

    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.

    Do not drink Borax! Definitely mix in your bath or spritz bottle. Great to use as is Salt. 😊
