The Loyal Fam is all about fast, inexpensive shipping in a time of need. Here’s a quick breakdown of your options:

International: Loyalbody.com - International USPS 1st Class Shipping (7-21 Business Days) -
Starts at $39.95 depending on the global location. USPS ships to over 190 countries, this includes Canada.

We know. Waiting for relief sucks, which is why we try to keep things between 2-5 business days for delivery (after the usual 24 hour processing period), depending on where you live. Most people receive their package within just a few days. *Sadly,* we don't ship on weekends -- so try to put your order in sooner rather than later!

Orders placed before 3 pm EST Monday-Friday will ship the same day, though. During extra crazy times of the year, such as holidays, add an extra business day for processing.

Loyal ships our products through USPS. Because who doesn’t like getting packages on Saturdays?

Yes. But it can be a little pricey. We recommend subscribing to our email updates so that our international shoppers can stay updated on any sales and promotions that make things a little easier on your bank account.

Quick Tip: if you live outside of the US and Canada, you can also use a US shipping forwarder company, such as Shipito or MyUS. These companies actually give you a physical US shipping address, and will typically facilitate transporting Loyal products to your country for less than what USPS international shipping runs for. Of course, additional shipping, customs and duty fees will apply.

NOTE: AS WE SPEAK, the Loyal Fam is working on a new and lovely relationship with Shipito, so that we can offer our international customers a better rate.

Yes, sis, we ship orders to PO boxes.

Of course we do! So hit that “checkout” button and get yourself one day closer to a happier, healthier vagina.

In sciency-terms, BV (bacterial vaginosis) is the result of an overgrowth of one of the many types of bacteria that normally lives in your vagina. Usually, the “good” bacteria, (called lactobacilli), outnumber the “bad” bacteria (called anaerobes), but when that balance is knocked out of whack, we get BV 😔.

BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) occurs when the healthy bacteria in your vagina goes out of balance and grows too much. One of the most common reasons for an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria is douching. In most cases, douching is not recommended because it disrupts the vaginal environment and can lead to BV, as well as other types of vaginitis, including a vaginal yeast infection.

Sort of… sometimes getting down can change our vaginal pH levels, which can lead to an infection down the line. More importantly, BV can spread between sexual partners! If you think you have BV, either give yourself a booty call break, or use a condom until the infection is gone.

Still have questions? Don’t be afraid to give your doctor a call for more BV and sexual health facts. 

No worries -- if BV is an issue for you, there are a few things you can do to keep your vagina happy and healthy: 

Never go from a** to vag in the bedroom, or anywhere else for that matter. This can transfer fecal material to the vagina (ick), causing BV. If you’re really that down to get dirty, change condoms before switching from anal to vaginal intercourse. Also, never place any toys (or appendages!) in the vagina that has been in the anus without washing with soap and warm water.

Get comfy with regular condom usage. When semen mixes with vaginal fluids, it can make the smell of an existing BV infection worse.

Always. Pee. After. Sex. You can also rinse the vagina and vulva (the outer part of your bits, including labia) with clean water to remove any lube or sexual fluids still hanging around. For some people, sexual fluids and lubricants change the delicate pH balance of the vagina, making them more vulnerable to a BV infection.

Make the NutraBlast Feminine Balance Complex a part of your lifestyle. Reason being, there is a connection between the lack of a healthy vagina microbiome and developing BV. As a matter of fact, keeping your entire body’s microbiome healthy and vibrant is key for vaginal and whole body health.

It’s when your vagina feels like it’s on fire -- literally (not literally). Vaginitis is known as inflammation of the vagina that can result in discharge, itching and pain. This can happen for a couple reasons. Sometimes, Vaginitis can result from a vaginal microbiome imbalance, or a full blown vaginal infection. Reduced estrogen levels after menopause and some skin disorders can also also cause vaginitis.

Actual hell, tbh. A vaginal yeast infection, also called vulvovaginal candidiasis, happens when the healthy yeast that normally lives in your vagina grows out of control, and turns into an itchy, goopy, chunky nightmare. Vaginal yeast infections are very common and will affect up to 75% of folks with vaginas at some point in their lifetime. Even penis-havers can get them too -- especially from sex with a partner who also has a yeast infection. It’s also possible to contract a yeast infection anywhere in your body, including the vagina, mouth (known as thrush), skin and blood. Fun, right?

In general, vaginal yeast infections can be very irritating and uncomfortable with an intense itching, burning sensation and lots of angry inflammation. 

Welp, all sorts of things can cause a vaginal yeast infection, from chillin in a wet swimsuit for too long, to taking antibiotics. Simple pH imbalances can cause yeast infections too. When things get a little too acidic, yeast blows up like a mother******. This is why it’s important to check your vaginal ph-levels regularly. 

Here’s a helpful, more comprehensive list of yeast infection causes for your reading pleasure:

Changes in you pH levelsSome medications: antibiotics (which can kill healthy bacteria in the vagina, allowing yeast to grow out of control), corticosteroid drugs — including cortisone, hydrocortisone and prednisone — used to treat many conditions, such as rashes, lupus and asthma.

Menstruation: changes in hormone levels during a menstrual cycle can result in occasional or reoccuring yeast infections

Pregnancy (cute, huh?)

An increase in estrogen levels: for example, when taking birth control pills that contain high doses of estrogen or when on hormone therapy 

Diabetes and controlled and uncontrolled blood sugar levels: High blood sugar levels create a lovely physical environment for yeast to take over the world. This is why people with diabetes and blood sugar issues are more prone to yeast infections, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Cancer Treatments: undergoing chemotherapy creates a higher risk for developing a yeast infection due to changes in immunity

An impaired or weak immune system: such as, when spending a long period of time in a medical facility (aka exposure to higher levels of bacteria and viruses)

Wet clothing (bathing suits): yeast thrives in warm, wet environments, like moist swimsuits (ugh)

Pro Tips: Old school treatments like douching have been linked to causing an imbalance of the healthy bacteria in your vagina which makes you more susceptible to an infection.Candida feeds on carbs (and sugars): According to a 2013 study published in the PLOS One journal, refined carbs play a significant role in the development of candida. If you are eating lots of pizza and pasta, then you’re at a higher risk of developing a yeast infection than those who eat carbs, proteins, and fats in moderation.

A lot of gross **ish, such as:

Itching and irritation in the vagina and vulva (outer labia)

A pain, or burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating

Redness and swelling of the vulva

Vaginal pain and soreness

Vaginal rash

Thick, white, vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance, that usually doesn’t smell or only has a slightly different smell

Watery vaginal dischargeIn extreme cases, sores may appear on the vagina and/or vulva (yay 🙃)

NOTE:  Before starting any new self-care, please consult with your OBGYN or physician.

BV happens when unhealthy bacteria find their way into places they don’t belong. A yeast infection is when the naturally occuring yeast in your vagina starts multiplying out of control. Usually, a BV infection comes with a strong “fishy” vaginal odor, while most people don’t notice an odor with a yeast infection. What they do notice is a torrential outpouring of chunky, odorless discharge. Both might ruin your day (or date), but they can require different treatments. To be absolutely sure which type of infection has crashed your party, see your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis.

According to the pros at the CDC (Center for Disease Control), using a 600 mg boric acid vaginal capsule suppositories once a day for 1-2 weeks can eradicate a yeast infection. If you’re unsure if boric acid is the right choice for you, consult with your OBGYN or physician.

Yeast infections are hell -- we know. To lower your chances of getting another one:

Talk with your doctor about any drugs you are now taking. You are more likely to get a vaginal yeast infection if you are taking certain drugs, including antibiotics, steroids, or birth control pills.

Try to keep the genital area cool and dry. Yeast grows well in warm, moist areas.

Wear cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes.

Change out of damp clothes or a wet bathing suit as soon as possible.

If you use panty liners or pads when you are not having a menstrual period, change the panty liners or pads more often.

Yes, doctors now recommend 600 mg of boric acid as an evidence-based treatment for yeast infections. It can not only knock out the infection, boric acid also relieves the pain and itchiness that comes with it. 

Boric acid is even effective for infections that can't be cured by prescription antifungals. 

 NOTE: If you are pregnant, do not use vaginal boric acid treatment. Do not take vaginal suppository by mouth. Before starting any new self-care, please consult with your OBGYN or physician. 

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse.

The symptoms of BV and a yeast infection both usually include vaginal discharge, itchiness, and discomfort. The difference is in the presence of odor. 

  
A yeast infection causes discharge that is thick and white, with a cottage-cheese type appearance. BV is associated with a strong “fishy” vaginal odor, while most people don't notice an odor with a yeast infection. We recommend consulting with your OBGYN or medical professional for answers to any medical questions you may have.

Douching, using vaginal deodorants, or scented tampons

Hormonal changes including menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause

Having sex with a new partner

Body washes or soaps used on the vaginal area. 

Well, your baby can. A yeast infection is called thrush when it occurs in the mouth and a yeast infection when it occurs in the breast and on the outer layer of the skin. Breastfeeding sometimes causes yeast infections in the breast, which can be passed back and forth between the breastfeeder and the baby.

That’s tough -- we feel you there. Thankfully, you can safely treat a yeast infection during pregnancy with various over-the-counter antifungal vaginal creams or suppositories. However, it's always best to consult with your OBGYN or healthcare provider before starting any self-care treatment.

Do not take boric acid vaginal suppositories while pregnant or breastfeeding. 

Over-the-counter medications for treating yeast infections — available as creams, ointments or suppositories — include:

Clotrimazole (Mycelex, Lotrimin AF)

Miconazole (Monistat 3)

Terconazole

A healthy vaginal pH level is typically between 3.8 and 4.5 -- which means that your vagina is happiest when it’s a little acidic.

Ooo. Sorry, sis. Baths are not recommended. As a rule, showers are better than baths when you’re in the process of treating a vaginal infection. 

If you must go for a soak, avoid using scented soaps or bubble bath products because they may irritate or prolong yeast infections. Don’t hang out in the tub for more than 10 minutes at a time. Also, avoid from fooling around with a partner in a bath or hot tub when either one of you has a yeast infection. The conditions of sex in a water environment might make it easier for a yeast infection to spread through sex. Also make sure to pat the area of the infection completely dry once you’re out of the water.

To maintain a healthy vagina, wash your vulva (outer area of the vagina) once a day with warm water, or mild soap. Keeping your vulva cool, clean, and dry can go a long way to prevent infections.  

Some vaginas are just mysterious af. If you aren’t sure what’s causing your symptoms, please see your doctor. To make a diagnosis, your doctor likely will perform a pelvic exam and take a sample of your vaginal discharge to be examined under a microscope. Your doctor will probably ask you the following questions to find out what could be the culprit. 

What vaginal symptoms do you have?

How long have you had them?

Do you notice a strong vaginal odor?

Have you ever been treated for a vaginal infection?

Have you tried over-the-counter products to treat your condition?

Have you recently taken antibiotics?

Are you sexually active?

Are you pregnant?

Do you use scented soap or bubble bath?

A bad time. More specifically, thrush is a yeast infection of the mouth and throat, also known as oral candidiasis. Thrush may be triggered by a variety of factors, including illness, pregnancy, medications, smoking, or dentures.

Yes, unfortunately. A yeast infection of the skin (such as the armpits and groin) is called cutaneous candidiasis.

Yes, men can get yeast infections. Yeast infections in men are common because the fungus that causes yeast infections (candida) is normally present on skin, especially moist skin. Having P-in-the-V sex with someone who already has a vaginal yeast infection can cause that infection to spread to the penis-having partner. Yeast infections are more common with uncircumcised penises.

Sometimes yeast infection can cause balanitis — aka, inflammation of the head of the penis. Balanitis is also more common in uncircumcised penises.

They’re similar to yeast infections in vaginas, just ya know, more external. More specifically they include:

Burning and itching around the head of the penis, which worsens after having sex.

Redness and swelling.

Small, rash-like bumps called papules, which may have pus.

Pain during urination or sex.

There are several risk factors that increase the likelihood of getting a penile yeast infection:

Antibiotics, which kill the "good" bacteria that keep candida's numbers in checkImmune-suppressing illnesses, particularly HIV

Diabetes 

Corticosteroids

Having P-in-the-V sex with someone with a vaginal yeast infection

Signs and symptoms of male balanitis may include:

A thick, lumpy discharge under the foreskinAn unpleasant odor of the foreskin

Difficulty pulling back your foreskin

You may be more likely to develop balanitis from a yeast infection if you:

Aren't circumcised

Use antibiotics for prolonged periodsHave diabetes

Have an impaired immune system, such as with HIV

Are overweight

Have poor hygiene

Have P-in-the-V sex with someone with a vaginal yeast infection

Most penile yeast infections are easily treated with over-the-counter antifungal medications. *praise* 

There are a number of over-the-counter and prescription-based topical medicines available, including:

Lotrimin (clotrimazole)

Monistat (miconazole)

Spectazole (econazole)

In some cases, these drugs may be combined with hydrocortisone to reduce significant inflammation.

Alternatively, an oral azole medication called Diflucan (fluconazole) can be used to knock out a penile yeast infection -- especially if it becomes systemic.

As with any new self-care product, please consult with your doctor or medical professional before use.

Importantly, topical, oil-based medication cannot be used with latex condoms. (Hint: oil causes latex condoms to break down and increases the likelihood of STI transmission and pregnancy.)

If you and your partner both have symptoms of a yeast infection, it's important that you both be treated to avoid reinfecting each other.

Great question! Vaginal pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline the vagina is. A healthy vaginal pH is usually between 3.8 and 4.5. This is important to know because an overly acidic or alkaline vaginal pH can lead to infections, odor, excessive discharge, vaginal dryness, itchiness, vulva soreness and general discomfort. 

Here are some things that can cause your vaginal pH to go awry:

Antibiotics: Antibiotics kill off both the good and bad bacteria in the vagina. The problem is, the vagina needs good bacteria to fight off the infection causing bad bacteria. Without good bacteria, you’re far more likely to breed infections like yeast.

Sex: The alkaline pH value of semen is HIGH (usually around 7.1-8). Semen sometimes disturbs the vagina’s naturally acidic environment, which can lead to BV. 

Menstruation: Blood has a pH of 7.4, so during your period, vaginal pH can become elevated and cause discomfort and infection.

Menopause: A decrease in estrogen levels reduces the number of healthy bacteria in the vagina, which can also increase the vagina’s pH levels, causing recurring infections.

Yes! Boric acid is not only safe, peer-reviewed research has shown it to be incredibly effective. It’s also often a more economical way to treat yeast infections and BV (bacterial vaginosis). As a matter of fact, boric acid has been used to treat vaginal infections for over 100 years. Boric acid is also an alternative to more conventional treatments that may fail to target the non-albicans or azole-resistant strains of yeast without contributing to the global problem of antifungal resistance. 

By re-establishing your natural vaginal pH levels, boric acid prevents Candida fungi from growing. It also acts as a strong antiviral and antifungal agent in the body. 

The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends using 600 mg boric acid vaginal capsule suppositories once a day for 1-2 weeks to treat yeast infections. 

NOTE: People with any of the following should not use boric acid vaginal capsule suppositories:

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding

Vaginal sores

Vaginal bleeding

A fever

Nausea

Pelvic inflammatory disease

Any sexually transmitted disease

Heart disease

A blood vessel disorder  

We get -- not everyone has the time or the money to schedule an appointment with a doctor. BUT, it’s usually a good idea to get evaluated by a medical professional, especially for recurring vaginal conditions. For a truly accurate diagnosis, your healthcare provider can look at your vaginal fluid under a microscope or send a sample to a lab for analysis.

We call it our “holy grail” for a reason. Boric acid is an evidence-based, CDC-recommended natural treatment for vaginal infections and pH imbalances. It works by re-establishing your vagina’s natural acidity and balancing vaginal flora (helpful bacteria). But that’s not all -- boric acid also relieves uncomfortable symptoms of vaginal infections and pH imbalances, such as itchiness, dryness, pain, or discharge. Basically it’s an all-in-one solution to your vaginal misery. 

Yes! Not only has boric acid been clinically proven to be a safe and effective treatment for a variety of vaginal conditions, 100% boric acid vaginal suppositories have been used for over a hundred years. Boric acid is also commonly recommended by OBGYNs as an inexpensive and easy-to-use treatment for yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, excessive odor, itching, and discomfort. It’s an especially effective alternative for antifungal-resistant infections.

Although boric acid suppositories are generally safe for adults to use, minor side effects are possible -- especially if you have more going on than a simple vaginal infection or pH imbalance. Some folks may experience:

Burning at the insertion site: This is typical if the vaginal suppository capsule is not inserted properly or if vaginal sores are present. Please see directions for proper use.

Watery discharge: Wear a panty liner.Panty liners were specifically designed for vaginal discharge. However, you should avoid wearing them for a long time. You should change your panty liner frequently, otherwise it may cause rashes or itching in the vaginal area.

Oh no, honey. Vaginal boric acid suppositories will not prevent pregnancy and should not be used as a form of birth control.

Nah, boric acid suppositories won’t get you pregnant, but it is still recommended to avoid sexy time while you are treating a vaginal infection because that’s likely to worsen the infection -- or -- spread the infection to your partner.

3. OR, you can save yourself some mess and stress by going with one our handy applicators to guarantee a successful and clean insertion. 

 

Helpful Tip: It is best to insert Boric Life suppositories at night to make sure the pill stays in place. Wearing a panty liner is advised as you may experience some discharge from the pill!

Only the best 600 mg of boric acid and vegetable capsules.

NOTE: Gelatin capsules, informally called gel caps or gelcaps, are composed of gelatin manufactured from the collagen of animal skin or bone. Vegetable capsules are composed of hypromellose, a polymer formulated from cellulose. or Pullulan, polysaccharide polymer produced from tapioca starch.

Give it a good week for a full blown infection. Though you should see improvement in as little as one day, take the full course to ensure that the infection doesn’t return. If your infection is particularly acute, you may continue treatment for an additional week (totaling 14 days of treatment).

Nope! Boric Life is over-the-counter, and is available on LoyalBody.com and Amazon.com. 

Yes, honey <3 Boric Life and Boric LIFE+ are vegan and cruelty-free. In fact, it’s one of our competitive advantages! Most boric acid suppliers use gelatin capsules, but we only use vegetable capsules for our boric acid powder.

That’s gonna be a “no” from us. Never use Boric Life if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Nope! Boric Life will not interfere with your multivitamins or your daily supplements. If you are concerned, always consult with your physician before using Boric Life.

Most likely not. Interactions are not expected based on the plethora of available research into boric acid. However, you should always consult with your healthcare provider if you are taking prescribed medications before starting any new over-the-counter self-care treatment. 

Can you go through the White Castle drive through in the middle of a hurricane? Possibly. But should you? No. Having sex while using Boric Life to treat an infection is kinda like that. Once treatment is complete, you should wait 24 hours after inserting Boric Life to have sex. Pro Tip: condoms are one of the best ways to reduce the recurrence of BV.

It’s normal -- but it probably means that you’re doing it wrong. More specifically, you may not have inserted the pill high enough into your vagina. The discharge is just the excess boric acid coming out with your normal discharge (the vagina is a self-cleaning machine!). *womp* 

 

Most folks wear a pad when using Boric Life to contain the excess discharge.

Sadly, no. Boric LIFE is not approved if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. As a friendly reminder, it's ALWAYS important to speak with a physician or health care professional before taking any new OTC medication or supplement if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Follow our super handy How To found on the website! 

Here are some quick Don’ts: 

Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. 

Do not take a vaginal suppository by mouth. Vaginal boric acid is for use only in the vagina. 

Do not use this medicine if you have open sores, wounds, or ulcerations in your vaginal area.

Avoid handling the suppository too long or it will melt in your hands.

The usual dosage of vaginal boric acid is 1 suppository inserted into the vagina once per day, for 3 to 6 days in a row. Follow your doctor's dosing instructions and wash your hands before and after inserting a vaginal suppository.

Pro Tip: Vaginal boric acid suppositories are packaged with single-use disposable applicators.

Whenever you’re ready to hit the sack. We recommend using Boric Life and/or Boric LIFE+ at night, before bed, as the risk of discharge and product leakage is minimized while lying down. We also recommend wearing a panty liner. 

Sure, but you might need a little extra insurance -- like a panty liner. To minimize the risk of product leakage, we recommend using Boric Life and/or Boric LIFE+ at bedtime.

YES. It is HIGHLY recommended to use an applicator with  Boric Life and/or Boric LIFE+, but you don’t necessarily have to. Some folks prefer using their finger to insert vaginal capsules, but that route can come with mess, extra bacteria, and some uncomfortable public restroom experiences.

It’s cool -- If you miss a dose, don’t panic! Just use it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, use only that dose. Do not use double or extra doses. Do not put two Boric Life pills in your vagina, either (yes, we’ve heard of this happening)!

An overdose of vaginal boric acid is not expected, but it technically can happen. If anyone has accidentally swallowed a Boric Life and/or Boric LIFE+ suppository, seek emergency medical attention and/or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

If you are still experiencing symptoms after 2-weeks, please contact your doctor or medical professional if symptoms do not improve after 2-weeks.

No, we don’t recommend stopping medication until after at least 1-week of taking Boric Life and/or Boric LIFE+ to make sure you are fully treated. We advise completing at least 1-week of treatment.and in more severe cases 2-weeks of treatment.

Everyone responds differently to Boric Life boric acid vaginal suppository capsules.
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends using 600 mg boric acid vaginal capsule suppositories once a day for 1-2 weeks.
If our yeast infection persists after taking Boric Life for 2-week consult your OBGYN physician.

Sure! Boric Life and Boric LIFE+ can be used during your period. A matter a fact, many women use Boric life a few days before their period to prevent infections like BV, yeast, excessive vaginal odor and discomfort. Women also like to use Boric Life after their period to balance out their pH levels. 

 

Of course, if you would like to continue treatment during your period, it’s 100% safe! However, we advise you to wear a pad rather than use tampons while you are using Boric Life.

Yes! Boric acid, the only ingredient in Boric Life, has antifungal and antiviral properties. Many OBGYNs and medical doctors recommend vaginal boric acid capsules as a treatment option for vaginal yeast infections.

 

NOTE: In a review published by the Journal of Women’s Health, researchers evaluated 14 studies — two randomized clinical trials, nine case series, and four case reports, focusing on boric acid as a treatment for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (AKA yeast infections). Researchers concluded that boric acid is a safe and affordable alternative to more conventional yeast infection treatments.

Yup! Boric acid, the only ingredient in Boric Life, has been used for over a hundred years to treat vaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis. Current research suggests that boric acid can be a great alternative cure for BV, particularly in women who have recurring infections. 

NOTE: In one 2009 study, researchers supplemented antibiotic treatment with 600 mg of vaginal boric acid. They discovered that women who used boric acid had higher cure rates than those who did not. 

 

The most common side effects may include: watery or gritty vaginal discharge redness, mild burning a gritty sensation in the vagina

No, the product will not interfere with a copper IUD. *praise*

Yes, you can use Boric Life as many as 2-4 times per week.

*Ahem* The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends using 600 mg boric acid vaginal capsule suppositories once a day for 1-2 weeks. If a yeast infection persists after taking Boric Life for 2-weeks, consult your OBGYN physician.

To be absolutely sure, that’s a question for your doc. It is always best to consult a physician or medical professional before using any over the counter self-care product especially if you have a medical condition, or are taking medication.

Only a few ultra minor ones. Some common side effects of boric acid use include: vaginal discomfort. a mild burning sensation after inserting the capsule and watery vaginal discharge.

Longer than most relationships, let's put it that way. Boric Life has a shelf life of 3 years.
