Downstairs Journey

this is my first time using rephresh as recommended by my doctor because of yeast infection. my treatment is coupled with 1 dose of diflucan.

i’ve applied rephresh and taken diflucan 2 days ago. however, i’m still feeling the burning sensation. when i had yeast infection last year, i felt relief on the 2nd day with just the diflucan.

is the burning sensation normal? i plan to stop it’s use if i do not feel any relief by tomorrow.

so the white clumps are rephresh residue. i thought, it was yeast infection.

Yup, the white clumps are residue from the Rephresh. The burning however, is not normal. Perhaps the Diflucan is not strong enough. In the past, I had an infection that Diflucan did not clear up and I needed something stronger. You may want to give your gyno a call and let him/her know you’re still feeling discomfort. Hope you get some relief soon!

I used rephresh for the first time. Once I finished the 12 day supply, if missed one day. However, the very next day I got another dosage. Two days later I had a bad yeast infection. Shoul I continue using the product ?

Is it good to use Rephresh with an active yeast infection?

I had Bacterial Vagenousous and my doctor perscribed me suppositories that were suppose to clear it up. Well about a week later the symptoms came back and I went back to the doc. and he said the bv was gone but b/c of it I had a ph inbalance. He told me to use Replens, but after reading this and researching more about Rephresh I think I might go out and buy this product instead. Same concept just different brand. I’ll let ya know how it goes.

I’m so happy I found this post. I used RepHresh a couple days ago. When I woke up this morning and wiped myself I saw some medium sized white clumps. At first I thought it was tissue, then I realized it was discharge. I freaked out a little bit but after reading this, I feel a lot better. They should really put that info in the insert. Walmart is the best place to purchase RepHresh. I was able to get it for $12 and there’s also a $1 coupon included in the box for your next purchase.

I just used the rephresh and am experiencing cramps now. I don’t know if its because of my mirena or what my husband even suggested it may be because my Ph was way off. I’m confused.

I can’t tell you how THRILLED I am to have found Rephresh. I had Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) and went to the doc. She prescribed Metrogel, which cleared it up, but I was so nervous about smelling every time I had sex. Any odor at all, no matter how faint, made me wonder if BV was coming back. Even though my husband assured me it smelled great (lol), I was so self-conscious. Ever since finding Rephresh, I am 100% confident. Whatever odor there was, imagined or real, is gone. I’m starting my second month using Rephresh and the white clumps have completely subsided. This product has been a godsend for me. If you’ve suffered from BV, my advice is, give it a try. You have nothing to lose. It gave me my confidence back. I LOVE it.

OMG! I too am so glad I found this post. I freaked the freak out when I found white clumps a day after using RePhresh. Why don’t they put this information on the box, duuuhhh!

OMG. I’m so glad to find this post as well! I’ve been really struggling with a combination of BV and Yeast Infections over and over again. I finally had a 6 week treatment from my dr, one pill a week, of diflucan (I think) and creams, and inserts…I finally found that 1) I needed to change my soap to a more gentle brand. Dove has been great and 2) Refresh is amazing! I’m also very conscious of the smell but Refresh has helped clear this up also. I don’t use it all the time because I hate to be dependent on anything but changing my soap has really contributed. Just wanted to share that in case anyone was using a harsh body wash that may be counter effective to Refresh’s efforts.

I just started using it and Im still having the odor after using it for 2 weeks. Should I continue to use this product

How can u stick that in you if you’re a virgin won’t it be rather painful, or can u even get a yeast infection if you’re a virgin

Rephresh is a life saver. I used to get bacterial vaginosis on a regular basis and once I started using the product I haven’t had it since.

I am so glad I found this product. For the last 6 years I had been suffering from a fishy smell. I went to every doctor and they never found any infection. Took many antibiotics that worked for a short period of time. I was so embarrassed when my husband wanted to have sex with me because I was self councious of the horrible odor but since I found Rephresh it has helped me and I do not have any discharge or fishy odor. I am so pleased with it and would recommend to anyone suffering from that fishy nasty discharge.

I have had a lot of problems with oder and odd colors of discharge in massive amounts:/ I have been checked for everything possible, but…nothing! But my doctor reccomended rephresh and ever sense, all oder has subsided and my discharge has gone back to normal. I am working on my second month of usein this product and I love it. I reccomend ths product for all women with any type of vaginal discomforts. It’s GREAT!!!

I’ve had BV three times in 4yrs. Ive been with my bf for 5 now. I have it again and started doing home remidies instead of going to the gyno. Well the home remiedies either worked or went away on its own. I had a gyno appointment yesterday for my annual. She recommened I use rephresh. My question is after looking into it.. do I need to depend on it forever? Or does it work like when I can smell the horrid BV smell I can use it for the 3 days and stop? We had sex last night and mind you I thought my bv went away 3 weeks ago and Im smelling it today… ugh

I just used my 2nd dose last night. I dont think I used it right the first time. I shaked it like it was a thermometer but I dont think all the rephresh went down into the bottom because I still had a slight oder on day 3. Last night I made sure I shaked it a lil longer.. but after I put it in it still felt heavy. I squeezed a lil and more came out.. so I had to re-shake it and do it again. Today I have alot of thick white discharge and its clumpy. Im guessing its the dead cells since thats what everyones saying but its alot! For a moment I thought maybe I started my period and I didnt know it because it was that wet feeling in my undies. Is that how it normally is?

I’m writing back with more info since I last posted in April to hopefully answer some question. I have been using Rephresh only on an as-needed basis. When I first started using it I was very regular about it, but now I use it only after having sex, but sometimes I forget. Last night was the first time since early this year that I thought I noticed a smell again, so I used Rephresh for the first time in probably a month or more. This morning I did have a little bit of white discharge but not horrible. The smell is better and will hopefully be gone within a day or two, but I will probably use another dose in 3 days just to be sure. Then I will go back to using it maybe once or twice a month as needed or just after sex.

I used it just to try it instead of the Azo yeast pills n was sooo shocked. My boyfriend went wild that night during sex. He absolutely loved it. He said I was so wet n moist inside it was unbelievable. I never told him that I used the gel but it was a God sent. It’s keeping me infection free n enhanceing my sex life. Can’t get no better.

Thanks for the helpful info. I have been getting BV frequently too. So I will be sure to stop by store tomorrow to purchase. I thought by using the cream prescribed by doctor would take care of it, but I am noticing the odor again. Thanks, I will update you all later.

Anyone notice a burning/uncomfortableness the first time they used it? I used it for the first time last night and I’ve had a slight burning/uncomfortable feeling all day and night. I also have had the white clumpy discharge. Just wondering if I should continue or just stop, given the symptoms…may not be the best product for me. Thoughts?

I have been struggling with BV for a while now. The doctor says my pH is what causing the excessive discharge. What the doctor prescribes doesn’t help with the discharge which is really noticeable during sex. Will repHresh help those who do not have a wetness problem?

I used refresh today and saw the white clumps in a few hours, I hope this product works with the frequent bv infection I’ve had. Can a guy get BV

I had BV for quite a few months without knowing about it. When I finally got diagnosed, I’d also had a UTI along with it. But ever since clearing up the BV, I’ve had chronic dryness, which drives me nuts. Does Rephresh help to restore natural lubrication at all? Like will I go back to being wet all the time like I used to be?

I am having discharge and the odor but I am 3 and half months pregnant. Has anyone used it while being pregnant? I use to get BV Quite frequently before pregnancy. Bring pregnant the smell is so strong to me. I really want to try rephresh while pregnant to restore my Ph balance.

Thanks for writing about this, I was just about to order rephresh and wanted to read some reviews. Has anyone taken the Pro-B supplement that the company makes?

okay so i went to the doc after a rephresh application cause of the white clumps (excess cells, im now aware of) and even my MD thoguht i had a severe yeast infection, yet she was the one who suggested rephresh for me since im suscptible to bv. after my culters came back normal, i had to research the subject. sooo freaking glad theres an explaination to this cause its very unpleasant. you say it actually does go away after regular use?? man do i hope so! thanks for the article though, its explained alot.

I have suffered with BV for years!!! My ob/gyn even suggested a week vinegar/water solution for douching with but even that doesn’t keep the ph imbalance at bay. Per my MD the imbalance is hormonal as well as my husband’s ejaculate. Men are very alkaline and things down there tend to prefer a little acidity.

I have used rephresh in the past and really was unconcerned with the white clumps as well…but I always knew there was no infection present. Glad someone finally said what it was.

For Ruby’s question above….rephresh is perfectly safe during pregnancy. I believe it’s even mentioned in the pamphlet.

I’m so glad to have found this product. I have used probiotics, forced my husband to pull out, vinegar and water, everything….but my bv is a cyclic issue…knowing exactly when I typically have an imbalance (one week before my period)helps me avoid any discomfort now as I can use a tube of rephresh, deal with the clumpy discharge the next day and be symptom free. It’s a beautiful thing!!!

My gyn suggested rephresh its the second day. I. Got white clumps today. Is this normal??

I think rephresh is just wonderful I have been using it for 2wks now and I love it. Plus its a great lubricant to use during sex. My boyfriend loves it. Thanks for coming up with an excellent product.

Ive suffered from the effects of BV for years and been using this for over a week now and its been working unbelievably!!!! I refuse to take any more antibiotics that make me sick & dont even work. I get it at walmart for the cheapest at around $12.50 a box. But the best money I ever spent!!

I am soooooo happy I came across this review and the comments that followed! As many of the other females here I also suffer from BV.. It’s the most annoying and embarrassing issue ever. I saw the commercial for Rephresh a few months ago and finally decided to purchase it today. I’m on my cycle presently but once it’s done I will be trying out this product. I can’t wait. Hope it works for me.
