A suppository puts the ingredients where you want them, rather than asking a capsule to make the trip through your whole system first. For pH, odor and moisture, that is the appeal.
This collection covers the three kinds Love Wellness makes. All doctor-developed, all fragrance-free.
The Three Types
The Killer® Boric Acid Suppositories controls vaginal odor, and it is the product most women arrive here looking for.
Boric acid is not an antibiotic and it is not a treatment for an infection. If you have symptoms you have not had looked at, or symptoms that keep returning, see a provider first.
Flora Power® Vaginal Probiotic Suppositories is the pH balancing suppository. It is built around supporting what is already there rather than clearing anything out, which makes it the one women tend to use as ongoing maintenance.
Comfy Suppository™ is a hormone-free, OB/GYN-developed moisturizing suppository made with hyaluronic acid. It is for dryness, from postpartum through menopause.
Suppository, Capsule or Cream
These are not interchangeable, and it is worth knowing which one you need.
An oral capsule works body-wide, which is the right call for something like a daily probiotic supporting your gut and your vagina together. A cream or a wash works on the vulva, the external skin, and does not reach anything internal. A suppository is the one that goes inside.
Plenty of routines use more than one, because they are doing different jobs in different places.
Which One Fits
If odor is the thing, The Killer® is the place to start, or the Suppository Bundle if you want pH support alongside it. If you want something steady rather than reactive, Flora Power® is the maintenance option.
If dryness is the issue, Comfy Suppository™ is the one built for it. And the Ultimate Vaginal Health Bundle pairs suppositories with the rest of the daily routine.
Before You Start
A few things worth knowing, none of which replace the directions on the pack:
-
Follow the usage instructions on the product page you are buying from. They are not the same across these three
-
Some discharge is normal and expected with any suppository. A liner handles it
-
These are not meant to be swallowed. Keep them out of reach of children
-
Talk to your provider before using anything internally if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or using other medication
-
Stop and check in with a provider if something burns, worsens, or does not settle
Recurring symptoms are worth a diagnosis rather than another round of suppositories. These support a routine. They do not replace care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Can I Use a Boric Acid Suppository?
Follow the label on the product you are using. If you find yourself using them regularly, that is worth raising with your provider rather than deciding on your own.
Can I Use These Instead of Seeing a Doctor?
No. These support vaginal pH, odor and moisture as part of a routine. They do not diagnose anything, and anything new, severe or recurring needs a provider.
Will I Notice Discharge?
Usually, yes, and it is normal. A thin pad or liner is the easy answer.
What Is the Difference Between The Killer® and Flora Power®?
The Killer® is boric acid and controls odor. Flora Power® is a probiotic suppository for pH balance. Many women keep both, using one when something feels off and the other as upkeep.
How Long Before I Notice Anything?
Many customers report best results after a few months of use.
