I'm bombarded on Facebook by Ad's for Lume deodorant. Its touted for "pits, feet and privates".

Its really designed to make you believe that your body is producing these nasty smells all the time. I'm 46 so I know better but for young people this message is horrible.

This is genius and hilarious... I'm laughing (but still angry at these companies).

Also, is there any way you can review the following products:

BiopHresh® Homeopathic Vaginal Suppository

Restore® Moisturizing Vaginal Gel

Are they useless, especially for recurrent yeast? I’m always skeptical of “natural remedies” and avoid them, but at this point I’m desperate for solutions. Thank you!

Hi Dr. Jen. I subscribed to you because you’ve helped me understand vaginal health well. I suffer from recurrent vulvovaginal candida as a 21 year old woman with no other health conditions. It started a year ago after an episode of BV and getting a copper IUD (that I got removed immediately after). I do all the right things: cotton underwear, avoid douching/fragrance, only wash with water, etc… I’ve already undergone long-term therapy this year, and I am about to again because the infection returned. Is there any advice you can offer me, please? The gynecologists in my area are not super helpful. Please and thank you.
