How can I test my Vaginal pH?

BioFemme makes it easy to test your pH levels on a regular basis with their pH testing strips.

Our three favorite BioFemme products to treat, protect and re-balance the vaginal pH:

The BioFemme Cleansing Foam, Zone Control for yeast infections and the pH Soothing or pH Balancing Gels that contain natural prebiotics to stimulate and nourish the proliferation of beneficial bacteria along with ultra soothing actives. Prebiotics are beneficial substances that nourish the probiotics like Lactobacilli. You can find rebalancing prebiotics in the Nelly De Vuyst BioFemme pH Balancing and pH Soothing Gels. They are the ideal way to hydrate, sooth and protect your skin. They are rich in the following three Prebiotics:

Inulin is a natural polysaccharide prebiotic extracted from chicory root. It nourishes our lactobacilli flora and inhibits pathogenic bacteria.
Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide is an extract from natural sugars found in starches. It stimulates the antimicrobial peptides released by our skin cells. Selectively protects and stimulates the beneficial microbial skin flora.
Pullulan is an extract from the biofermentation of starch. It forms a moisturizing non-occlusive film that fixes water molecules on the surface that immediately improves the texture and tone of the skin.

What lifestyle changes can I incorporate to ensure healthy pH levels through my body?

Hydration is the first step in optimal health: drink enough filtered water throughout the day.
Incorporate raw microbiome friendly foods such as: non-GMO organic green leafy veggies, berries, clean proteins, whole grains and healthy fats.
Avoid acid forming food such as processed meat, fried food, refined white flour, sugar and caffeine.
Supplement with probiotics as needed.
