What is bacterial vaginosis?

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common condition for women to suffer from. It happens in reaction to a change in the natural bacterial balance in the vagina.

Because of the presence of good bacteria, healthy vaginas are always slightly acidic. However, when there is not enough good bacteria, this makes room for different types of bacteria to grow; this can cause an episode of bacterial vaginosis.

Balance Activ gel restores and maintains the natural pH balance in the vagina, making it a swift and easy to use treatment for this condition.

How to use Balance Activ vaginal gel

2. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position with your legs apart.
3. Insert the applicator gently into your vagina using your fingers as far as is comfortable.
4. Gently squeeze the applicator to release the gel.
5. Slowly remove the applicator while still squeezing it.
6. Discard the applicator and wash your hands again.
