I handed a friend one of their herbal menstrual pads to use instead of a tampon and noticed that she was slightly taken aback. In fact, I’ve become somewhat of a Honey Pot evangelist, singing its praises at every chance. Since using their products, my pH has been so perfectly balanced that I am happy to report I have almost forgotten what a yeast infection feels like. Considering that your vagina is a mucous membrane and directly absorbs what it comes into contact with, some of these products may inevitably do more harm than good.Įnter: The Honey Pot Company, a toxin-free, gynecologist-approved and plant-based feminine care brand.

The truth is, most mainstream feminine products like tampons and pads are largely unregulated and can contain chemicals, bleaching agents, toxins and artificial fragrances. When looking at washes and wipes available in stores, I would cringe at the thought of the stinging, burning and consequent recurring yeast infections these products would surely result in.

Because of this, I developed a less-is-more approach when it comes to my “down there” routine. To really be specific, yeast infections in particular were something I struggled with for years. Growing up in a predominantly female household (love you, dad), vagina talk-a.k.a periods, yeast infections, BV and UTIs-were often discussed.
