Bloomy Vaginal Collagen Mask

Bloomy is formulated with ingredients that are safe for topical use, but we always recommend talking to your OB-GYN before using any intimate product during pregnancy or while actively trying to conceive. Your doctor knows your specific situation best.

Since Bloomy is applied externally only and doesn't contain hormones or antibiotics, it's generally considered compatible with breastfeeding. That said, if you're nursing, we recommend a quick check with your doctor to be safe.

Yes. Many women actually time their applications for the week before their period since that's when pH tends to shift and flares often start. Apply at a time when you're not actively changing a tampon. 20 minutes before bed is ideal.

Yes. Bloomy is external only and doesn't interfere with any internal birth control method including IUDs, NuvaRing, implants, the pill, the patch, or the shot. Nothing about Bloomy changes hormone levels or how your birth control works.

Bloomy was formulated specifically for the most sensitive skin on your body. It's free from fragrance, parabens, sulfates, and harsh preservatives. The L-lactic acid concentration (1.5%) is below the threshold that causes irritation in clinical tests.

If you have a history of reacting to lactic acid or marine-derived ingredients, patch test on your inner arm first.

Boric acid lowers pH by being acidic itself, but it has a narrow safety window and can strip your skin barrier if used repeatedly. Bloomy uses L-lactic acid (the same acid your good bacteria naturally make) to reset pH gently.

On top of that, Bloomy rebuilds the skin barrier with collagen, niacinamide, and Centella, AND feeds good bacteria with postbiotic lysates. Boric acid kills. Bloomy restores.

Uqora is designed for UTIs, not BV. Phresh and VMAGIC are pH moisturizers that don't address the microbiome problem at all.

Bloomy is the only topical, external approach that combines pH reset (L-lactic acid) + barrier repair (collagen, panthenol) + microbiome support (postbiotic lysates) in one 20-minute application.

Most oral probiotics die in your stomach acid before reaching the vagina. Even the ones marketed for "feminine health" have low delivery success rates in independent testing.

Bloomy works directly on the vulvar skin where your first line of microbial defense actually lives. Instead of delivering new bacteria through your gut, we feed the good bacteria you already have.

Bloomy is not a treatment for active infections. If you have symptoms of a current BV flare (odor, discharge, irritation), see your doctor for diagnosis.

Bloomy is designed to be used after you finish antibiotics to rebuild what they wiped out, or as a preventive tool between flares.

External only. The butterfly-shaped patch rests on the outside of the vulvar skin. Never inserted vaginally.

This is the point. Most of your microbiome regulation happens at the skin surface, and most other products miss this entirely by going internal.

Twice a week is the standard protocol, with 3 to 4 days between applications. After 3 months of clear results, some women move to once a week for maintenance.

In active recovery (right after antibiotics), you can safely use it 3 times a week for the first 2 weeks.

20 minutes per application. The ingredients are most active in the first 15 to 20 minutes. Wearing it longer doesn't do more.

Most women apply it during their evening skincare, remove it, and go to bed.

Yes, and it's one of the best times to use it. Semen has a pH of 7.5 to 8 (alkaline), which shifts your vaginal pH out of the protective zone. Sex also creates micro-friction that stresses the skin barrier.

Using Bloomy within a few hours post-sex helps your body reset pH faster. Many women use this exact protocol to stop post-sex flares.

You can use Bloomy during antibiotic treatment with your doctor's approval. The antibiotic clears the overgrowth, Bloomy helps rebuild the ecosystem at the same time. Using both concurrently significantly reduces the chance of immediate recurrence.

Most women feel calming and reduced irritation within the first 1 to 2 applications. pH typically resets within 20 minutes.

Lasting protection usually settles in around 4 to 6 weeks of consistent twice-weekly use. By month 3, most women have stopped thinking about it.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Bloomy doesn't work for you within 30 days, email us and we'll refund the full order. No questions. No return shipping required.

Most OB-GYNs are trained on the antibiotic-first model because that's what medical guidelines have said since the 1990s. The 2025 NEJM StepUp trial is actively changing this, but new research takes years to reach practice.

Dr. Marchetti created Bloomy because she got tired of watching her own patients cycle through incomplete treatment.

Bloomy is an FDA-registered OTC cosmetic product. It's not a drug, so it doesn't go through drug approval, but our manufacturing facility is FDA-inspected and GMP-certified.

Every ingredient is on the FDA's GRAS list for topical use.

Bloomy is designed for vulvar skin, so your male partner shouldn't use it. However, the March 2025 NEJM StepUp trial showed treating male partners with oral metronidazole reduced BV recurrence from 63% to 35%.

If your BV keeps returning after sex, bring the StepUp trial to your partner's doctor.
