What's pH got to do with it?

Check these out, too...

I keep hearing about my pH balance and I'm very confused. What is it?

The pH scale measures the relative acidity of a certain substance. Maintaining a standard pH allows organisms to function properly in a certain environment. A healthy vagina is slightly acidic with a pH of 4.5 or less. When your vagina stays at this level, that means there is a healthy balance of good bacteria and yeast living there—and bacteria and yeast are what keep your vag clean and healthy.

To help keep the pH level around 4.5, you should clean your vulva with warm water. You do not need to use soap—your vagina cleans itself, so it doesn’t need any outside help on that front.

This is a weird question but I got my period when I was 13 and then I lost a lot of weight by exercising and eating healthy. Anyways, my last period was really heavy and lasted for a couple of weeks. Finally it stopped but I never got it back since then. Should I be worried? Will I ever get it back?

Hey Roselyn475, oh yes you will definitely get it back. Periods have a tendency to become irregular, sometimes bleeding later or earlier than they normally would. No worries just be on the lookout for the next one. Keeping a calendar tracking when you get your period may help a little. Let me know if you need anymore advice. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Hey. Well my friends and I were playing a game of the weirdest things to possibly happen. One was getting a pimple 'down there.' Being the worry wart I can be I want to know whether you can get a pimple down south. If so how do you get rid of it?
Thank you.

Hey girl,

You can get pimples on pretty much any part of your skin, even in weird places like your hairline or leg. So I would think it would be possible to get a pimple in that area, although not within the vagina, just on your legs or bikini area. If that happened, it would probably just go away with soap eventually. I wouldn't worry about it too much!

This is kind of an embarrassing question to ask but I used to be 5'4 about 144 lbs and a 34C bra size. I had an hourglass figure and I loved my shape. Well I started basketball season and we run a lot. Well since I started, i have lost about 15lbs and I think my boobs are shrinking😞 how do you think I can get my shape back.

Hey girl,

If you're getting in shape, that's great! Being fit and healthy is more important than what shape you are, so try embracing your new, fit bod! You are still young and your body won't stop growing until you are about 18, so it's possible your cup size will increase. But breasts do have a lot of fat, so it's normal they got smaller when you got more fit. Being healthy is more important than having breasts, so be happy that you are in great shape!

Umm..weird sorta related question..how do you clean your vagina if your on your period and it is on heavy fluid right now..ha.hha....uh..yeah..it started on monday but been heavy since i started again.. :/ and is my vagina messed up if I use soap and lukewarm water to clean it when I'm not on my period? Is my pH balanced or no???

Hey girlie, a gentle, non-scented soap is best. Wash up in the shower to keep the mess down and make sure all that soap is completely rinsed off. They also have down there products you can buy, like little wet naps for cleanups in-between showers- super useful for that time of month.
