Vagisil “Screening Kit”
Listed up, ladies. Do you/have you suffered from itching, burning, unpleasant odor or unusual discharge? Though these symptoms might seem embarrassing, nothing is more important than ensuring all is well 'downstairs'. The Vagisil Screening Kit can help you answer the [unwanted] question “do you have a yeast infection, or something more?” Much like other parts of the body, a woman’s vagina has a pH. A healthy vagina is slightly acidic, with a pH usually in the range of 3.5 to 4.5. The Vagisil Screening Kit includes pH swabs, detailed instructions, and a pH guide, to determine if your symptoms indicate a yeast infection, or perhaps something more.
Grab this kit at your local drugstore or drugstore.com and be proactive! $16.

And how do these magic rings work, you ask? Simply, without a catch! The Skin Doctors have injected each wipe with a potent dual-acting formula that first cleans out and purifies, then exfoliates the affected “down there” pore. The all-natural antibacterial serum (which now contains Glycolic Acid—mystifying!), cleans clogged pores, reduces swelling and kills any impurities. Then, in as little as 24 hours, the magic exfoliation action scrubs away dry, dead surface skin, and releases trapped hair beneath. Finally: the magic renewing effect peels away the outermost layer of skin, revealing new, softer skin beneath. Hocus pocus—clean, clear, smooth summer skin (razor burn free)!
