How do I use the pHD Boric Acid Suppositories? How do I insert the suppository into my vagina?Updated 6 months ago

Inserting a boric acid vaginal suppository is simple, and you can do it either using your finger or with a vaginal applicator. Here's how:

Using Your Finger:

1. Wash your hands: Start by washing your hands with soap and water to ensure cleanliness.

2. Prepare the suppository: Remove one boric acid suppository from its packaging.

3. Position yourself: You can either lie on your back with your knees bent, stand with one leg raised on a chair, or squat. Choose the position that feels most comfortable.

4. Insert the suppository: Using your index finger, gently insert the suppository into your vagina as far as it will comfortably go—usually about one to two inches.

5. Optional: Wear a liner: Since the suppository may dissolve and discharge overnight, wearing a panty liner can help prevent any potential leakage.

Using a Vaginal Applicator:

1. Prepare the applicator: Place the boric acid suppository into the open end of the applicator.

2. Position yourself: Like using your finger, you can lie down, stand with one leg raised, or squat.

3. Insert the applicator: Gently insert the applicator into your vagina, angling it slightly upwards. Push the applicator in until it feels comfortable—about one to two inches.

4. Release the suppository: Push the plunger on the applicator to release the suppository. Gently remove the applicator afterward.

5. Clean the applicator: If the applicator is reusable, wash it with warm, soapy water, and let it dry completely.

Whether you use your finger or the applicator, the key is to be gentle and choose the method that feels easiest for you. Always wash your hands before and after the process. As the #1 Doctor Recommended Boric Acid Suppository, we’ve made sure it’s easy to use and effective.
