HOW IT STARTED?

If you’re anything like me (and most females, in fact), your knowledge of reproductive health and vaginal care is probably not as broad as it should be. For instance, have you ever heard about pH balance in the vagina?

Well, I hadn’t - at least not until my mid-20s. At the time, I had been experiencing a somewhat fishy odor in my vaginal area, which was a little unsettling. Of course, I did my part and went on to consult a medical professional. The awful smell was due to a condition termed BV. The doctor prescribed antibiotics, which worked well for a certain period. But then I returned to the same doctor again a few weeks later with a yeast infection. Medication was prescribed again, as is the norm. Unfortunately, this was a perpetual cycle wherein I was only losing equal parts of money and sanity.

On the whole, though, one thing was crystal clear- whatever the doctors were trying, it wasn’t working. At this point, I still had no idea what a pH balance was or how I could balance vaginal pH naturally. You think my doctor would have informed me, right? Wrong! After all, isn’t the vagina self-cleaning? Sure, my doctors did what they do best– diagnosing and prescribing medications. But it certainly wasn’t enough!

Eventually, I decided to take things into my own hands and took to the internet for natural remedies to get rid of vaginal odor. During this search, I also discovered the concept of vaginal pH balance. At first, I was pretty baffled- why hadn't anyone told me anything about this? I mean, if this was a crucial part of my body, I had a right to know, right? When I’d been taught about puberty and menstruation, why was pH balance management conveniently left out? But well, this is the usual extent of vaginal care most females receive. No pH balance. No products for vaginal odor. Disappointing, to say the least.

How to Balance Vaginal pH Naturally?

Since we're not educated on these topics, women tend to experience a sudden rude awakening during their child-bearing years when their body starts acting out against poor hygiene practices because the products they used before puberty are not the products, they need post-puberty.

So, what constitutes proper vaginal care? How to balance vaginal pH naturally? And what products for vaginal odor actually work?

After much research, I created a yoni oil that helped relieve all my symptoms. With further research, I learned my daily wash was also important. After seeing many women deal with the same issues I previously had, I decided to help as many as I can. GOTS was founded in 2018 with one purpose in mind, to heal the feminine balance. Our recipes were carefully created to replace toxic commercial feminine products. Over the years
we have expanded our catalog to a full body & skincare brand. We hope you love your products just as much as we love creating them.
