Trending videos mis-using pH balance tests
Summary
The video is one of many that “test” the pH of vaginal washes, with this particular one featuring a pH test of Summers Eve feminine wash. While the act of testing a product’s pH itself is not inherently inaccurate, the video does not provide context or disclaimers about the actual necessity or benefits of using such products for internal vaginal hygiene. By merely showcasing a pH test of a commercial feminine wash without providing critical medical context, the video implicitly promotes the idea that such products are beneficial or necessary for vaginal health, when, in fact, they can be harmful to the vaginal microbiome.
