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).
