WTH is a boric acid vaginal suppository? If you've been down the “female hygiene” aisle at the drug store lately you've probably seen them. And there are hundreds of products out now that claim to tackle vaginal pH balance and reduce odor. Do we really need these things? Are soap and water not enough? 

Dr. Victoria Fashakin, an OB-GYN from WakeMed in Raleigh, NC, answers Sarah’s questions on vaginal health. And side note: the whole region includes a lot more than the vagina. Dr. Fashakin walks us through the vulva and why it’s important to call things what they are!
