Itching, burning, odorous discharge?

Why vaginal pH matters

What is vaginal pH?

Vaginal pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of the vaginal environment. A healthy vagina is home to acid-producing flora, predominantly from the Lactobacillus genus, that help maintain a mildly acidic pH (3.8-5.0). This acidic environment forms a natural protective barrier against pathogen overgrowth and infections.

An imbalance (dysbiosis) in the vaginal ecosystem can disrupt healthy flora and change acidity levels, leading to irritation, Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), yeast and bacterial infections. Symptoms include itching, burning, odorous discharge, and pain during sex. Vaginal dybiosis lowers immunity, increases the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs), negatively impacts fertility and reproductive health.

Numerous daily life factors can affect vaginal pH, including unprotected sex (semen), estrogen changes during the menstrual cycle, use of hormonal contraceptives, low estrogen levels during breastfeeding or menopause, and during recovery from cancer therapies (chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiotherapy). Medications (like antidepressants), intimate washes, detergents, and antibiotics can also change the vaginal environment.

Feminine balance

Aquafit BIO Gel Stick® combines intimate training with the delivery of lactic acid and aloe vera to rebalance and maintain protective vaginal acidity.

Women who are prone to pH imbalance and recurrent vaginal infections can restore a healthy vaginal environment with rapid acidification.
Rapid acidification with Aquafit BIO relieves irritation, prevents BV, yeast and bacterial infections. Formulated to mimic vaginal fluid's natural acidity, moisture, and salts, Aquafit BIO effectively support healthy flora, boosts immunity, and reduces recurrent infections, especially after antibiotics. A mildly acidic environment is also associated with higher fertility and reproductive health.
Aquafit BIO is all natural, safe, no antibiotics, parabens or live cultures. Incorporating intimate training (just 5-7 minutes in the shower or in bed) supports optimal vaginal pH and rebuilds healthy flora, when you get that itch.
