Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a personal care product on vaginal health in individuals with a self-reported history of vaginal discomforts such as malodor, bothersome discharge, itching, irritation, and dryness. The personal care product, VH-01 contains a prebiotic and three distinct strains of Lactobacillus crispatus, a microbe commonly found in healthy vaginal microbiomes. The study will be a randomized, placebo-controlled trial where the test product will be compared to a placebo in a 2:1 manner. Participants will be asked to complete online questionnaires and provide vaginal samples to assess microbial communities.

The aims of this study are to assess:

1. The user experience and acceptability of VH-01 vaginal suppository vs. placebo.
2. Attitudes and perceptions of VH-01 vaginal suppository usage vs. placebo.
3. Health-related quality of life during the use of VH-01 vaginal suppository vs. placebo.
4. Changes in self-perceived vaginal discomforts during the use of VH-01 vaginal suppository vs. placebo.
