The vaginal canal hosts Lactobacillus bacteria that produce lactic acid, maintain an acidic pH, and form a barrier against pathogens. Feminine hygiene products kill protective microflora, raise vaginal pH, and leave the area vulnerable to infection. Feminine hygiene washes are not needed for normal vaginal health and actively damage the system they claim to support. Use of feminine hygiene products is associated with increased risk of cervical cancer, UTIs, pelvic inflammatory disease, HPV, genital warts, and genital herpes.
