Problem
Women often experience recurring intimate health issues, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bacterial vaginosis (BV), due to imbalances in the vaginal microbiome. Traditional treatments may not always be effective or can lead to antibiotic resistance, creating a need for alternative solutions. The close proximity of the urinary tract to the bowel in women makes them more susceptible to bacterial infections.
Solution
P.Happi offers a novel approach to women's intimate health with a daily intimate serum designed to protect and re-establish the intimate microbiome. The serum features a proprietary ingredient, _Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus_ (B.Y.M.® 1405), a naturally occurring bacterium that targets and breaks down harmful Gram-negative bacteria, such as _E. coli_, without harming beneficial bacteria like _Lactobacilli_. Applied topically to the vulva and perineum, the serum creates a protective bio-barrier against unwanted bacteria, supporting a balanced and healthy intimate microbiome. The water-free formula is also designed to moisturize dry intimate skin, promoting overall comfort and well-being.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes women of all ages experiencing recurring intimate discomfort, microbiome imbalances, or those seeking proactive support for their intimate health, particularly during menopause, postpartum recovery, antibiotic use, or periods of high stress.
