For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I would always get BV after my boyfriend came in me. They’d last months at a time, and I didn’t like the antibiotics because it made it 10 times worse. I didn’t like having sex with him because the smell would be so embarrassing! I was on Amazon at 3 am and impulsively ordered boric acid. Best decision ever. After the first suppository, the smell went away. After day 3, I was completely back to normal. I suggest wearing a panty liner because there will be some discharge."

"I’ve had a little pinkish discharge with a slight odor, and started to use boric acid for one day so far. I’m using the capsules that I bought at the drugstore that you insert with your finger. After one night, they have worked beautifully. No odor and no discharge - GONE! I would recommend 100%! Just to note, I am an older woman with a hysterectomy who just got remarried, and only have one partner, my husband."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Omg!! I used it two nights in a row, and now I am cramping bad, bleeding, irritated down there, and even having blood clots. I have to wear a pad due to the constant discharge. I will never again use it again. It’s awful."

"I was diagnosed with BV and was prescribed an antibiotic. Before this, I didn’t experience a lot of symptoms. I never felt any itching, and I didn’t have a discharge beyond what I’ve always had when getting normal Pap smears... but I took the antibiotics, and it made it so much worse! I was so embarrassed by the smell. My boyfriend actually told me he could smell me across the room. He said it didn’t smell bad... just trying to spare my dignity. I ordered some Boric Acid Suppositories after reading the reviews. I don't understand the connections with BV diagnosis and antibiotics because antibiotics can cause vaginal infections, so it seems strange to me to be the cure. I used ONE INSERT of the boric acid overnight, and the smell was GONE! I woke up the next morning, and there was a small amount of discharge, but I didn’t have any other side effects. I’m so happy I tried it. I was lucky and feel bad for people who have had adverse reactions because this has simply been a lifesaver for me."
