Let’s be honest: it’s really hard to feel sexy when your vagina feels off. If you’re bracing for irritation, infections, or yet another post‑sex UTI, it’s almost impossible to stay present in the bedroom.
In this episode, I sit down with vulvovaginal wellness founder Lindsay Wynn of Momotaro Apotheca for what is essentially Vaginal Health 101—a crash course on UTIs, yeast infections, pH balance, the vaginal microbiome, and why so many of us were never taught how any of this actually works.
We break down the basics in plain language while also talking about the emotional side—shame, anxiety, and that constant low‑grade fear that something is “wrong” with you.
You’ll also hear how Lindsay’s own nightmare cycle of recurrent infections pushed her to create the products she couldn’t find: organic salves, suppositories, probiotics, and UTI‑support supplements designed to soothe symptoms, protect the microbiome, and help you feel good in—and about—your body again.
Think of this as your bedside‑table guide to feeling more comfortable, more informed, and more confident the next time you get naked with someone, including yourself.
