Balance Activ Pessaries help restore the vagina’s natural pH balance to relieve symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. Their gentle, effective formula reduces odour and discomfort while supporting healthy vaginal flora.
Balance Activ Vaginal Pessaries offer fast, effective relief from the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (BV), including unpleasant odour, abnormal discharge, and discomfort.
Formulated with lactic acid and glycogen, these easy-to-use pessaries restore and maintain the vagina’s natural pH balance and support the growth of healthy lactobacilli – protective bacteria that help prevent recurring BV and maintain intimate health.
They’re ideal for use:
After your period
Following sexual activity or exercise
When experiencing recurring BV symptoms
During menopause or times of hormonal change
BV is one of the most common vaginal infections in women of reproductive age, caused by an imbalance in the natural vaginal flora. When “good” bacteria (lactobacilli) decrease and “bad” bacteria multiply, the vaginal pH rises, leading to symptoms such as:
Thin, grey or white discharge with a strong, fish-like odour
Discomfort or burning sensation during urination
Increased discharge after sex
Itching or irritation (less common)
If you experience these symptoms for the first time, or if they persist, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
Balance Activ Pessaries contain:
Lactic acid – helps restore the vagina’s natural pH (below 4.5)
Glycogen – provides nutrients to encourage the growth of beneficial lactobacilli
Together, these ingredients re-establish vaginal acidity, reduce odour, and relieve discharge, providing lasting comfort and protection.
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Remove one pessary from the foil packaging.
Sit or lie down with your knees bent and gently insert the pessary as far as comfortable into the vagina.
Use one pessary daily for 7 consecutive days (usually at bedtime).
To maintain vaginal balance, use one pessary every 2-3 days after treatment or at the end of a period.
Tip: Use before bed to minimise leakage and consider wearing a panty liner.
Do not use Balance Activ Pessaries if you:
Are allergic to any of the listed ingredients
Have unusual bleeding, pain, or sores in the genital area
Are pregnant or trying to conceive (the low pH may reduce sperm survival)
If you notice blood in your discharge or experience fever, severe pain, or persistent symptoms, seek medical advice promptly.
Balance Activ Pessaries are generally well tolerated.
However, mild irritation or vaginal discharge may occur during use.
Stop treatment and consult a doctor if you experience:
Burning, itching, or swelling
Redness or pain that worsens
Signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, dizziness, or swelling of the lips or face
How long does it take for Balance Activ to work?
Most users notice improvement in odour and discharge within 2-3 days, with full relief by the end of the 7-day course.
Can I use Balance Activ with antibiotics?
Yes, Balance Activ can be used alongside or after antibiotics to restore the vaginal pH and prevent recurrence.
Can I use Balance Activ while trying to conceive?
No, it’s advised to avoid use during conception attempts, as the low pH may reduce sperm survival.
Can I use Balance Activ during my period?
It’s best to start treatment after your period ends to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Is BV a sexually transmitted infection?
No, BV is not classed as an STI, and male partners do not usually require treatment.
