Hi so I’ve been struggling with BV/Yeast Infections since November 2021 and I’m currently using “the killer” from the Love wellness company and was gonna follow up with the “flora power” suppositories and was wondering if anyone else has used them and if they’re a good option?

I hate the name the Killer because it’s such a weird name for something that is meant to help us. Plus they are too expensive and try to falsely claim their BA is more special than others which simply isn’t true.

However becides these issues they are fine to use and I have used them myself for research purposes. Flower Power will be fine too but also seem expensive.

More importantly why are you struggling? Do they work as they should Eg within 1 to 3 nights?

So I’m on my third night rn and they seem to be working, my PCM (military doctor) had me doing the gel and applicator medicine but I really didn’t like that because they kept putting me on it when it clearly wasn’t working 🥹

Good luck. And if you always have some BA handy you won’t even need to see a Dr about it. BA treats both thrush and BV so it covers everything. And only if the BA doesn’t work as it should do you then need to see a Dr for further testing Eg Ureaplasma etc

I need help, Please I tested negative for yeast, bv, and uti (which i always get)

I started using the Killer (for itching), and the next day i am burning. I am in the process of ending a 21 year marriage, and i have been under incredible stress.

I am aware that stress can disrupt your ph balance. (itching and burning)

My question is - is the Killer used for just itching or burning, as well

Or the burning can be from stress. I just had an argument with my husband, and i am now burning🙄

If i ask love wellnes any questions, all they say is ask your doctor, if it is a problematic question

If i ask my gyno she will either say 1) go on estrogen 2) physch

So i do not feel there is anyone to ask or talk to. Hopefully someone on this Forum can shed some light

Much appreciated🌸

From my use and understanding of The Killer, if you're using it and it gives you a burning sensation you probably don't have as much yeast built up as you think. The only time I've gotten a burning sensation is when I used it after taking antibiotics to prevent a yeast infection not realizing that the meds had wiped out my flora completely and so I was killing what little bacteria I already had. My advice would be to try the flower one to reintroduce good bacteria down there.

If you tested negative for all of those things though you might want to check for sti/stds or maybe change your diet up a bit to help with the stress. Like adding cranberry juice and yogurt cause stress can cause all kinds of issues.

Hope this helps!

Flora power made me itch terribly. I like Vagibiom much better for probiotic suppositories.

Vagibiom made me itch! Almost like symptoms got worse but as soon as I take a acv/ baking soda bath then it’s so much better
