TikTok trend promotes “pH-balancing” washes and probiotics as must-haves while warning against using regular soaps like Dove for vulvar care

Summary
In this viral clip, the creator shares her story of struggling with “pH balance issues,” blaming soaps like Dove and crediting a branded probiotic wash and supplements for fixing the problem. She even claims her OB-GYN wanted to buy the product after seeing it on TikTok. What’s missing is context: the vagina is self-cleaning, most people do fine with warm water or a mild unscented cleanser on the vulva, and experts generally don’t recommend routine feminine washes.
