"I'm 34 and have been dealing with recurring BV for almost 2 years. It started after I had my second baby and just never stopped. Every 3-4 weeks like clockwork, I'd feel it coming back. I tried EVERYTHING - boric acid (helped temporarily), switched to all cotton underwear, cut out sugar, probiotics from Whole Foods that cost a fortune. Nothing stuck.
My doctor kept prescribing the same antibiotics that would clear it up for maybe 2 weeks before it came right back. She finally just said "some women are prone to this" which felt like she was giving up on me. I was so frustrated and honestly embarrassed. It was affecting my relationship because I was constantly worried about odor or just not feeling comfortable being intimate.
I found Flora Delights through an Instagram ad (honestly almost scrolled past it because I'd tried so many things). But the reviews from other moms dealing with the same thing made me give it a shot. They offer a money-back guarantee so I figured worst case I'm out nothing.
Started taking them daily - they actually taste good which sounds dumb but when you're taking something every day it matters. Around week 3 I realized I was past the point in my cycle where BV usually showed up... and nothing. Week 6, still nothing. I'm now 4 months in and I've been completely clear. Not one episode.
I don't know if it's "cured" or if I need to keep taking these forever, but honestly I don't care. My quality of life is so much better. My husband even commented that I seem happier and more relaxed (I didn't realize how much anxiety I was carrying about it).
The only "cons" are that they're not cheap - about $28/month - but I was spending that anyway between treatments and doctor visits. And you have to remember to take them daily, but I keep them next to my coffee maker so it's part of my morning routine now.
If you're reading this and you're in the same boat I was in - constantly treating the same thing over and over - just try them. The guarantee means you literally have nothing to lose. I wish I'd found these 2 years ago."
