Let's be real, life can be pretty damn stressful. We have to juggle our work lives, social lives, and all the responsibilities of everyday life. Well unfortunately for us (and out vaginal health) this stress can disrupt your vaginal microbiome and increase your risk of developing uncomfortable yet very common vulvovaginal health issues, putting a damper on your plans.
The solution? Always. Be. Prepared. We prefer proactive, preventative care, and the Momotaro Trio provides safe, effective topical treatment that’s not only discreet and accessible, but easy to incorporate into your daily routine — no expensive prescriptions or uncomfortable visits to the gyno required (although we always recommend regular checkups and an appointment with a trusted professional).
So let's break down each product of the vulvovaginal health must-haves in our Momotaro Trio and how you can add them to your sexual wellness routine.
