The V-Word

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on education, prevention, and support. While early detection is critical, it’s also important to recognize that cancer treatment can affect more than the breasts. Vaginal health and quality of life are often overlooked aspects of recovery, and understanding these changes can help patients feel supported and empowered throughout their journey.

September 27th is National Singles Day, and while people have mixed feelings about being single—some love it, some can’t wait to find a partner—this day is a reminder that romance doesn’t begin and end with a relationship. It starts with you. 

When I founded Good Clean Love decades ago in my kitchen, my unwavering mission was to expand the experience and awareness of love in the world. Despite skepticism from business investors who questioned its validity, I remain convinced that fostering love is not only our ultimate hope but the singular, essential work we must undertake now.

September is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Awareness Month, a time to highlight a condition that affects millions of women worldwide. PCOS is one of the most common hormonal disorders among women of reproductive age, yet it is often underdiagnosed or misunderstood, leaving many without proper support or answers.

If you’ve ever tried a Good Clean Love product for the first time and felt a little tingle or mild burning, you’re not alone. In fact, this is a completely normal experience. When your vaginal pH is outside the healthy range of 3.7–4.5, first-time use of our gels, lubricants, or washes may cause slight sensation. 

A palpable storm cloud looms over Women's Equality Day this year, casting a shadow on a day meant to celebrate a century-long milestone: the passage of the 19th Amendment, which finally granted women the right to vote in the United States. The tireless efforts and immense sacrifices of the suffragists, who endured decades of struggle to achieve this monumental change, paved the way for generations of women to pursue equality of opportunity, tipping the scales of achievement and success in myriad fields. Yet, these hard-won gains are now under an alarming siege.

The modern-day woman has a lot of things to juggle. Between taking names at work and balancing friendships, family, and romantic relationships, the last thing we need to be worried about is our vaginal health. What you may not know is that while you’re balancing your outer life, there is a lot going on inside your body in order to make sure that you stay healthy.
