Sexologist Alexa Andre (@sexwithalexa) sits down with Lindsay Wynn, founder of Momotaro Apotheca, a brand dedicated to holistic vaginal health and wellness. After struggling with recurrent BV and yeast infections with no long-term solutions in sight, Lindsay set out to create products that actually support vaginal and vulva health—without harsh chemicals or unnecessary shame.
In this episode, we have a raw and informative conversation about all things vulva health, vaginal wellness, and self-care. We dive into:
- How to prevent and treat common vaginal issues like BV, yeast infections, UTIs, and irritation—what actually works and what’s just a marketing gimmick.
- The biggest culprits behind vaginal pH imbalance, from antibiotics and semen to diet, stress, and even your favorite pair of leggings.
- The dos and don’ts of vulva hygiene—should you wash with soap? Do you need probiotics? Are feminine wipes your friend or foe?
- Debunking common vulva myths, like whether certain foods change your taste and if tight underwear really causes infections.
- How sex impacts vaginal health, plus practical pre- and post-sex care tips to help you stay balanced.
- The truth about discharge and odor—what’s normal, what’s not, and why we need to stop pathologizing natural bodily functions.
- How to find the right products for vaginal health and what harmful ingredients to look out for.
- Changing the conversation around intimate wellness—why vaginal health is still so taboo and how we can normalize these discussions.
- Our personal experiences with squirting—Lindsay is still exploring, but she shares a position we should all try (trust us, you’ll want to take notes).
This episode is packed with science-backed insights, personal stories, and expert advice to help you feel empowered, confident, and in tune with your body.
