How to get the Vitamin C inserted deeply in the vagina?

Posted , 19 users are following.

Ok, I may have made a little bit of progress with my BV. I've been inserting it twice per day for the past 5 days and I tested my discharge with PH paper and it's in the 4 range which is good for the vagina. It hasn't been 4 in years...

My question is, how do I get the Vitamin C deep enough into my vagina?

If you read this abstract about a study on Vitamin C and BV - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21650086 It says "apply a tablet deeply into the vagina once daily for 6 days."

How deep do I insert it and how do I do it?

I can only push the Vitamin C in about half the length of my longest finger (I have average size length fingers.)

Is this deep enough???

    I did some reading and I read to put it on a plain non scented tampon and insert as usual. Not sure on the time frame it takes to be comfortable removing it but I'm about to do it and I'm going to shoot for an hour as I would wear a tampon normally. I also bought Activia, Apple cider vinegar raw and unfiltered and peroxide. If you nor anyone responds or is interested I will update.

    I’m 38 years old and have been struggling with BV since I was 17. It’s a horribly embarrassing problem and completely ruins self esteem and confidence. When I was young I had no idea how to combat it. The drs look at u like you’re filthy after you’re there a couple times with it, as if IT isn’t humiliating enough. There was no internet then, and no where to turn. As I got older and had more resources to look for cures and prevention, I realized different things work for different women and nothing that worked for everyone else worked for me! I finally, after spending years of recurring infections and more money than I can count found something that’s worked for me, and anyone else that suffered from BV that I led to it. And it was so simple and cheap. I got 30 boric acid suppositories from eBay for ten bucks, and a huge bag of baking soda from Sams Club. I washed my privates with baking soda, and used a boric acid suppository nightly. During this time I am also trying to eat yogurt with live cultures once daily and sometimes even took a drink of apple cider vinegar.  It worked so well that any time I develop a symptom I follow this regimen and it’s gone before it starts.  My oldest daughter also got BV regularly. This worked for her as well and also for a friend of mine who could not seem to get rid of it. I have told these forums for years reading what works for everyone else. I’ve never replied to anyone until now. Now I feel like I have something useful to say and I really hope that this works for someone else. It’s a pretty  Big deal because nothing ever worked for me. Good luck. I hope this can be the beginning of the end of this Unpleasant journey for you.

      Hello!

      I was wondering how long you did this before it started to work. I've been suffering from bv for six months and it was gone, following the use of tea tree oil mixed in with tea tree oil. But now it's back, and worst than before. I'm about desperate, how long did you do the boric acid for? And how long before it started to work?

      Thank you so much for sharing!

    Hi Rachel I've suffered with this embarrassing condition all my adult life.

    I'm going to try vitamin c again after a recent course of metronizadole just gave me oral thrush and the BV was back within days.

    I'm finding it impossible to source silicon coated 250mg vitamin c with no sweeteners etc and I'd be interested to hear what other people are using. Does it have to be slow release (as I have read)
