Tea tree oil instead of rephresh?

[mariannew]

Is using a tea tree oil tampon to balance ph the same as using Rephresh?
I've contacted three different local pharmacies and they don't seem to stock rephresh. I could order it online but I want to know if using a tea tree oil tampon would do the same job?
I heard dipping a tampon in tea tree oil helps restore ph balance. Would this be a good pink sway tactic?

No, it isn't, and I really advise against doing that. Not only do we not know how that would sway, I think it could be harmful to you and I would not want you to take any chances either burning your skin or using tampons that may cause toxic shock syndrome when you are not having AF.

Do they sell any kind of pH balancing jelly? Or even KY has been good.

Thanks atomic,
Yes after further investigation last night I saw that tea tree oil isn't friendly down there. Thank you so much for your reply, I always appreciate your input.
Ok so after some more online browsing there's one pharmacy 20 minutes from me that sell rephresh. Thank God.

The local supermarket sell KY
Just in case this pharmacy has run out, will it still be a strong sway if I were to use just ky instead of rephresh, or is it about using some sort of ph balancing gel along with the ky that helps the sway?

As long as you are not using something called "sperm safe" or "conception friendly" jelly they are either neutral (do not help or hurt your sway) or even sway pink.

None of the jellies have seemed super effective for us. So I would not move mountains to get RepHresh, it has not seemed to do much for swaying. Equal numbers of people succeeded with and without using it. It doesn't sway blue, just that it is not a super huge factor and not worth stressing out over.
