Reddit reviews RepHresh Odor Eliminating Vaginal Gel, 4ct (0.07oz)

I have this same problem. Not yeast, not BV, not and STI. Gyno has no idea....but let me tell you something that has been an absolutel GAME CHANGER....there’s a product called “Rephresh”. It’s an ampule with a clear gel that you insert vaginally. It’s supposed to reset your vaginal pH. Whenever I feel irritation coming on, I use one and then a second application 3 days later (you can use them every 3 days and they come in packs of 4). Irritation is gone. I also try to sleep without panties and go without panties (I wear a lot of long dresses and skirts) as much as possible. These 2 things, but especially the Rephresh has helped tremendously.

2 things about the product: it says something about controlling feminine odor on the box. I don’t have any odors, just itching and irritation. Also—you will notice clumps of white stuff a day or so after you use it. I have called the company to ask about this because I also recommend it to my patients and couldn’t figure out what it was. They said that it’s old/dead cells from the vaginal walls.

I’ll try to find a link of the product (they have a couple different types).

Definitely worth a try. I absolutely swear by this stuff.

Edit: this is it!!

If you try it, please let me know your experience if you don’t mind. I’m a few months away from being an NP and I’d like to know if this works for others. I have recommended it a couple times, but haven’t heard feedback yet.

Edit 2: I saw a couple suggestions for using steroid creams. A low potency, OTC cream is okay for occasional use, but it can damage and thin skin after a while. Be careful with relying on this remedy too often.

A couple years back (before T) I was having a similar issue. I went to a few different doctors, took a few urine tests which always came back negative, so they kept not giving me the antibiotics. Eventually, one doctor took pity on me and prescribed the antibiotics anyway. The pain went away. Not sure why the urine never tested positive, but clearly it was some sort of bacterial issue.

I also stopped using anything other than water and gentle baby soap on that area, and that helped. The other thing it could possibly be is v-ginal atrophy. It can cause infections (usually generic BV crap) which can cause pain down there. Every so often, I use this stuff just to keep everything ship-shape down there and it's been super helpful. Plus, it's a lot cheaper and less invasive than going to a doctor and taking a full round of antibiotics. The only thing is that you do need to insert it internally (similar to a tampon) if that's an issue for you.

Good luck :( I hope you're able to get things sorted out soon.
