Naturally occurring Lactobacilli bacteria, including L.crispatus and L. gasseri, play an important role in maintaining the health of your vagina. Lactobacilli are known for their ability to produce a substance known as lactic acid, an important substance which helps support a healthy vaginal microbiome. Whilst the thought of an acidic vaginal environment conjures up images of intense discomfort, it is generally considered a good thing, playing a protective role by keeping less vagina-friendly species of bacteria at bay. An abundance of Lactobacilli bacteria is considered a sign of a healthy vaginal microbiome in the majority of women.
