Frequently Asked Questions

Vaginal suppositories like The Assassin™ are used to help treat and prevent recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections (thrush), and vaginal pH imbalances. They work by restoring the vaginal environment to a level where harmful bacteria and yeast physically can't thrive — fast, targeted, and without the systemic effects of oral antibiotics.

BV occurs when harmful bacteria overgrow and disrupt the natural vaginal balance. The Assassin™ works by rapidly lowering vaginal pH to a level that inhibits these bacteria, while also breaking down the protective biofilm they hide behind — which is why standard antibiotics alone often fail to clear recurrent cases.

Yes. The Assassin™ is effective against both common and resistant strains of Candida, including Candida glabrata — a strain that often doesn't respond to standard antifungal treatments. A systematic review across clinical studies found an average 76% mycological cure rate with the active in vaginal suppositories of this type.

A healthy vaginal pH sits between 3.8 and 4.5. BV, yeast overgrowth, sex, menstruation, and antibiotics can all push pH higher, creating an environment where harmful organisms thrive. The Assassin™ delivers its clinically formulated active directly to the vaginal environment, bringing pH back into the slightly acidic range where good bacteria thrive and bad bacteria can't.

Recurrence is one of the most frustrating parts of vaginal health issues. Common triggers include:

• Antibiotic use (which kills good bacteria alongside bad)
• Hormonal shifts (menstruation, contraceptives, pregnancy)
• Sexual activity (new partners, unprotected sex, semen raising pH)
• Stress, diet, and lifestyle factors
• Tight or non-breathable clothing

This is where the reset + maintain approach matters — The Assassin™ resets the environment, and The Daily Slay™ keeps it balanced afterwards.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is caused by an overgrowth of harmful bacteria. Symptoms typically include a thin, greyish-white discharge with a fishy odour, especially after sex.

Yeast infections (thrush) are caused by an overgrowth of Candida. Symptoms typically include thick white discharge (cottage-cheese-like), itching, redness, and burning.

The Assassin™ addresses both — its active works against both bacterial overgrowth and Candida.

Insert one capsule directly into the vagina before bed. Let it dissolve overnight — no applicator needed, no complicated routine. For active symptoms, use one capsule nightly for 7–14 days. For prevention (e.g. after sex or during your period), use as needed. Always wash your hands before insertion and wear a panty liner overnight as some discharge is normal as the capsule dissolves.

Many women notice a significant difference within 1–3 days — particularly with odour and discharge. For recurrent or resistant infections, a full 7–14 day course is recommended for lasting results. The Assassin™ is designed for fast, targeted relief, but consistency is key for long-term resolution.

For active BV or yeast symptoms: one capsule nightly for 7–14 consecutive days. For maintenance or prevention: 2–3 times per week, or as directed by your healthcare provider. If symptoms persist beyond 14 days, consult your doctor — persistent symptoms may indicate an underlying condition that requires further investigation.

Yes, however many women prefer to pause during their heaviest flow days, as menstrual blood can dilute the suppository and reduce its effectiveness. Light flow days and the days immediately after your period ends are actually an ideal time to use The Assassin™, since menstruation can disrupt vaginal pH and create the conditions for recurrence.

Yes. Sexual activity — particularly unprotected sex — can temporarily raise vaginal pH due to the alkaline nature of semen. Many women use the active after sex as a preventative measure to restore pH balance before harmful bacteria have a chance to overgrow. Insert one capsule before bed and let it dissolve overnight.

Yes, when used as directed for intravaginal use. The clinically formulated active in The Assassin™ has over 150 years of documented clinical use and is included in both UK and US national clinical guidelines for the treatment of recurrent vaginal infections. The Assassin™ is manufactured to BRCGS and NSF certified standards. Not for oral use, and not for use during pregnancy.

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after your last dose before having vaginal intercourse. This allows the capsule to fully dissolve and your vaginal environment to stabilise. Oral sex should be avoided while using any vaginal suppository. If you're using The Assassin™ as a post-sex preventative, simply wait until your next dose is due before being intimate again.

No. The Assassin™ should not be used during pregnancy or if you suspect you may be pregnant. If you are breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use. This is a standard precaution for all vaginal suppositories of this type.

Yes, this is completely normal. As the capsule dissolves overnight, you may notice a watery or slightly gritty discharge the following morning. This is simply the capsule contents being naturally expelled. A panty liner the morning after is all you need. The discharge is not a sign that the product isn't working — it's a sign that it is.

If you've never been diagnosed with BV or a yeast infection before, we recommend seeing your GP or gynaecologist first to confirm the diagnosis — symptoms can overlap with other conditions that require different treatment. If you have a confirmed diagnosis of recurrent BV or thrush and your doctor hasn't been able to provide lasting relief, The Assassin™ is a clinically supported option you can use at home.

The Assassin™ contains a single pharmaceutical-grade active at clinical dosage — nothing added, nothing diluted. Most competing products use fillers, binders, or gelatin capsules. Ours is vegan, single-ingredient, and manufactured to BRCGS + NSF certified standards. We're also Australian-owned and direct-to-consumer — no markup, no middleman.

No. The Assassin™ is available without a prescription in Australia. You can purchase directly from our website with delivery Australia-wide. While no prescription is required, we always recommend consulting your GP if this is your first time experiencing these symptoms or if recurring issues persist beyond a 14-day course.

The Daily Slay™ is a vaginal probiotic suppository — 60 billion CFU of clinically studied L. crispatus-led strains, delivered directly to where they need to live. Insert one capsule vaginally before bed, 2–3 nights per week, to maintain a balanced vaginal microbiome and prevent BV, yeast, and pH disruption from coming back.

Most probiotics on the market are oral capsules — meaning the bacteria have to survive stomach acid, the small intestine, and a long migration before reaching your vaginal microbiome. Most don't make it. Vaginal insertion delivers the good bacteria directly to where they need to live, with no migration loss. It's the difference between watering your plants and hoping rain hits them.

L. crispatus is the gold-standard 'good bacteria' that dominates a healthy vaginal microbiome. It produces lactic acid that keeps vaginal pH in the protective acidic range (3.8–4.5), blocking BV-causing bacteria and yeast from overgrowing. Most probiotics don't include it. We made it the hero strain because it's the strain that actually does the work.

Insert one capsule vaginally before bed. Wash your hands first, lie down, and gently insert the capsule with a clean finger. Wear a panty liner overnight as some discharge is normal as the capsule dissolves. Use 2–3 times per week for ongoing maintenance — or every night for 7 nights as the 'restore' phase of the V Reset protocol after using The Assassin™.

Many women notice improvements in pH balance, that 'off feeling' settling, and reduced flare-ups within 2–3 weeks of consistent use. Full microbiome shifts take longer — give it 8–12 weeks of consistent use for the full effect, especially if you're recovering from antibiotics or recurring BV.

No. The Daily Slay™ uses a shelf-stable formulation that protects the live cultures at room temperature. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. No fridge needed — perfect for travel.

We recommend pausing during your period. Menstrual flow can dilute the suppository and reduce its effectiveness. Resume the day after your period ends. The days right after menstruation are actually one of the best times to use The Daily Slay™ — your vaginal pH is more vulnerable to imbalance after your period, and the probiotic helps restore protective bacteria fast.

Vaginal suppositories should not be used during pregnancy without medical guidance. If you're breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use. We always recommend speaking to your GP or gynaecologist about any product use during pregnancy.

Yes — and we recommend it. Antibiotics kill harmful bacteria but also wipe out the good ones, which is why so many women get BV or yeast flare-ups during or after a course. Using The Daily Slay™ during and after antibiotic treatment helps maintain your vaginal microbiome and prevent rebound infections. Continue 2–3 times weekly for at least 30 days after finishing your antibiotic course.

They do different jobs. The Assassin™ is a fast reset — its active ingredient rapidly clears harmful bacteria and rebalances pH over 7 nights. The Daily Slay™ is the maintain — its probiotic strains rebuild the protective environment so harmful bacteria can't take hold again. Use The Assassin™ to reset (7 nights), then The Daily Slay™ to restore and maintain (ongoing).

You may notice some discharge as the capsule dissolves overnight. This is the capsule contents being naturally expelled and is a sign the active ingredients are working. Wearing a panty liner overnight handles it easily — discharge shouldn't reach your underwear. Most women just toss the liner in the morning.

The Daily Slay™ contains a clinically formulated multi-strain probiotic blend at 60 billion CFU per capsule. The hero strain is Lactobacillus crispatus, supported by complementary lactobacillus strains that work together to support vaginal pH balance. No fillers, no synthetic dyes, vegan-friendly, and manufactured in BRCGS, NSF, and cGMP certified facilities.

The V Reset Bundle pairs The Assassin™ and The Daily Slay™ for our 2-week reset protocol. The Assassin™ clears the environment over 7 nights, then The Daily Slay™ rebuilds and maintains balance. It's the most effective way to break the recurring BV/thrush cycle and reset your vaginal microbiome from the ground up.

Days 1–7 — Reset: Insert one The Assassin™ capsule each night before bed. Wear a panty liner.

Day 8 — Rest: No suppository. Let your body settle.

Days 9–15 — Restore: Insert one The Daily Slay™ capsule each night before bed.

Day 16+ — Maintain: Continue The Daily Slay™ 2–3 times per week for ongoing support.

Anyone dealing with recurring BV, yeast, or persistent intimate health issues that haven't responded to single treatments. Also works as a preventative reset after antibiotics, hormonal changes, new contraception, or extended periods of stress. If you've been stuck in the cycle of antibiotics → relief → recurrence, this is the protocol that breaks it.

Don't double up — just continue from where you left off. Missing one or two days won't undo the protocol. The active ingredients work over time, so consistency over the full course matters more than perfect adherence to any single dose.

Continue The Daily Slay™ 2–3 times per week for ongoing maintenance. The Assassin™ can be used as needed — after sex, during high-risk windows (post-period, post-antibiotics), or whenever you feel the early signs of imbalance returning. Most women only need a 1–2 night top-up of The Assassin™ every few weeks once they're maintaining with The Daily Slay™.

Yes. Some women run the full 2-week protocol once, then maintain. Others repeat the full reset every 6–12 months as a preventative reset, especially after antibiotics, pregnancy, or major hormonal shifts. There's no harm in repeating the protocol when needed.

You can, but we recommend the bundle for the strongest results. The Assassin™ alone resets but doesn't rebuild — symptoms may return faster without the maintain phase. The Daily Slay™ alone supports ongoing balance but works much faster when paired with a reset first. Together, they cover both halves of the equation: clear and rebuild.

Peachy Fresh is an Australian-owned, women-led brand built around the idea that intimate health doesn't need to be complicated, clinical, or full of shame. We make vaginal probiotics and pH-rebalancing suppositories — clinically backed, beautifully designed, and made for the way real women actually live.

Because the existing options weren't good enough. Clinical brands felt cold and shame-based. Wellness brands made claims they couldn't back up. Most products marketed as 'vaginal probiotics' were actually oral capsules that never reached where they needed to go. We built Peachy Fresh to do better — research-led, results-first, with the brand voice of a friend who actually gets it.

Our products are formulated with our Australian team and manufactured in BRCGS, NSF, and cGMP certified facilities — the highest standards in pharmaceutical-grade supplement manufacturing. Every batch is third-party tested for purity and potency before it ships.

Yes. Our hero strain (L. crispatus) and our active ingredient in The Assassin are both backed by peer-reviewed clinical research, including UK and US national clinical guidelines for recurrent vaginal infections. We use clinically studied strains at clinical dosages — no fillers, no marketing-only ingredients.

Yes to both. Our capsules are plant-based (no gelatin), our formulations are vegan, and we don't test on animals. We never have, never will.
