Three out of four women get at least one yeast infection in
their lives; nearly half have two or more; and about five percent of women get
four or more in a single year. Most
women can tick off the well-known causes of yeast infections: antibiotics,
douches, weak immune systems or tight clothes made from barely breathable
fabrics. But there are other, hidden causes that can also be common culprits.
Increase your chance to prevent uncomfortable yeast infections by using healthy
hoo hoo and being aware of the hidden causes.
Your estrogen is low
When you go through
puberty, estrogen plumps up your vaginal tissues using a starch known as
glycogen. Yeast loves glycogen, and without estrogen, they’d be all over it.
But fortunately for us, estrogen feeds acidophilus, keeping the yeast at bay.
Right before your period, though, your estrogen levels dip, and while they’re
low, the yeast starts to grow. Symptoms tend to crop up right before your
period shows up, but estrogen spikes again post-period to help even the score.
You eat too much sugar
Blood sugar spikes mean
that a lot of glucose is running around in your system, which is like a dinner
invitation to yeast. Sweets are one culprit, but plenty of healthy-seeming
diets can be sugary traps. Eating a lot of fruit, juice or high-carb foods can
cause blood sugar spikes, especially in the morning when your blood sugar is
low.
You wear pantyliners
If you don pantyliners to
keep your undies pristine, your efforts are probably backfiring. Pantyliners
cause a low-grade irritation that can decrease the skin’s immunity. When our
defenses go down, we get more symptomatic. Yeast also loves environments with
little air, so the synthetic fibers in pantyliners that block airflow make
yeast feel right at home.
You have vaginal eczema
When we think of eczema’s
scaly, itchy rashes, we usually think of it cropping up on our arms or legs,
but it can show up on the vulva and vaginal tissues, too. That causes chronic
inflammation and irritation, so some people can develop yeast infections.
You use spermicidal condoms
The active ingredient in
most spermicides is nonoxynol-9, which is not the gentlest substance. If the
spermicide is irritating for the woman, then that will disturb her vaginal
immunity and allow yeast to take advantage. That means spermicide creams,
jellies, foams, gels, films and suppositories can all be problematic, along
with diaphragms, which are usually paired with spermicidal creams, jelly or
gels that can cause irritation.
Healthy hoo hoo was
designed with the help of a formulation chemist, not to cure, but to simply
allow a women’s body to naturally hit the “reset” button. By avoiding over-washing and harsh cleansers,
women who have been using healthy hoohoo are reporting improved moisture, comfort
and odor conditions.
The line helps bring balance to the mucosal membranes by
maintaining the proper pH environment for lactobacilli strainswhich act as
barrier to harmful bacterium.
Several well-intentioned soaps, cleansers and wipes actually
strip away some of the balanced goodness Mother Nature put down there to keep a
woman’s body in harmony. Realizing those
cleansers were filled with parabens (synthetic preservatives), fragrance and
sulfates (harsh chemicals that make easy lathering possible), Stacy saw the
need for a healthier alternative in the marketplace. She worked with a
formulation chemist to create something simple, mild and better.
healthy hoohoo products are tested on gal pals, not animals,
and are available online at drugstore.com, healthyhoohoo.com, and at fine body
care boutiques and spas.
I was able to try the healthyhoohoo wipes and felt very fresh no irritation occurred this is good product for any woman to have in her restroom or even store in your gym bag for after a work out especially if you cant get to a shower right away. There is little to no smell and it is very gentle on the skin leaves you only with a fresh feeling. I have used other wipes before and I have to say this is one of the best so far.
Disclosure: I received a product for review these are my own honest opinions.
