RepHresh™: Finding the Perfect Balance Down There

RepHresh™ yeast infection

There is no way to dress up this post and make it pretty. It’s about yeast infections and how products from the RepHresh™ line can help keep them at bay.

Now that that is out of the way and the men have all scurried away let’s talk about something we will all experience (as women) probably once in our lives. Yeast infections suck. They suck a million times more in the summer heat and it’s pretty horrible that the summer heat is what can bring them on. There is some preventative measures to take though and a couple of products from RepHresh™ that can keep the itch away.

The Great Balancing Act

Tips to keep you happy and healthy ‘down there’ this summer

Oh, summer, how I missed you. After a long winter, there’s nothing I’m craving more than the hot sun and patio weather. What I don’t miss are the pesky issues “down there” that also come with soaking up the sun. Yes, you read that right. For many women, the warmer temperature brings an increased risk of an “itch” that nobody likes to talk about – yeast infections.

Surprisingly, yeast infections affect more women than you think! Approximately five per cent of women experience reoccurring yeast infections (3 to 4 infections in the last year)[1] and this has a lot to do with heat. The infection occurs when moisture gets trapped and yeast can overgrow, causing itching, burning and discomfort. If you’ve had one, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Tips to RepHresh™

The good news is that with a few simple tips, you can avoid that pesky itch.

Remember to dry off: Relaxing in a hot tub is the perfect way to enjoy a warm, summer evening. However, yeast grows best in a moist environment, making hot tubs a breeding ground for unwanted infections. This means it’s important to dry off well afterwards and change into dry clothes right away. Use this same approach when spending the day at the beach or pool.

RepHresh™

Know your pH: Many vaginal health issues, including odour, itchiness and yeast infections stem from an unbalanced pH. RepHresh™ Gel is a gynecologist recommended product and clinically proven to be pH balanced which can help to eliminate feminine odour and relieve feminine discomfort.

Wear cotton undies: Unfortunately, your tight skinny jeans may not be the best option this summer. Warm, tight clothing allows for little oxygen movement making the perfect breeding ground for yeast. If you must rock the skinnies, wear cotton underwear.

Take healthy measures: RepHresh™ Pro-B reduces the number of urogenital pathogenic bacteria and yeast on vaginal surfaces. It’s clinically tested and works by balancing the yeast and bacteria that are naturally present in a woman’s body to help restore and maintain proper vaginal flora. Try adding one capsule to your daily routine to keep your body on track and ensure nothing slows you down this summer! 

Are you ready to beat the summer heat? I would love your feedback if you’ve tried either of these products.

    I think that most women suffer from this at least once in their lives I heard that you are more susceptible to get this when you’re pregnant and it definitely is not pleasant.
