Introducing RepHresh Brilliant pH Tampons
Gynecologists finally have a tampon they can recommend.
Introducing the
first and only tampon clinically shown to
reduce the usual
vaginal pH increase during your period. Traditional tampons simply absorb and retain fluids. Menstrual fluids have a pH higher than normal vaginal pH and tampons retain these fluids inside your body.
RepHresh Brilliant pH Tampons provide
excellent absorbency and leak protection like traditional tampons, but they also have
pH-reducing Micro-ribbons that
reduce the usual
vaginal pH increase during your period.
A benefit both you and your gynecologist can appreciate.
Lauren Streicher, OB/GYN,
"Gynecologists have long been aware of the importance of maintaining a normal pH. This is an excellent improvement to traditional tampons, and many of my patients will benefit from it."

RepHresh Brilliant. Feminine Protection That Does More — Now That’s Brilliant!
Woman’s best kept secret: pH
(ARA) September 17, 2010 - Growing up, the topic of pH came up in chemistry class and on shampoo commercials, but few women know about pH in vaginal health – and it’s more important than you think.
“Gynecologists have long been aware of the importance of maintaining a normal pH. In healthy pre-menopausal women, vaginal pH is typically 3.5 to 4.5,” says Dr. Lauren Streicher, assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s medical school. “But vaginal pH can become elevated as a result of sex without a condom, hormone fluctuations, feminine products and especially menstruation.”
One of the most common pH triggers is menstruation. The pH of blood is 7.4, so during a woman’s period, the high pH of blood causes vaginal pH to increase beyond the normal range. Tampons retain the fluids that cause pH to increase.
But now there is a brand new tampon to the market: RepHresh(R) Brilliant(TM) pH Tampons are the first and only tampons clinically shown to reduce the usual vaginal pH increase that occurs during a woman’s period.
When tampons were first invented in 1929 by doctor Earle Haas, they were designed for leak protection, comfort and convenience, and they’ve had the same basic purpose ever since. Yes, tampons have evolved in little ways, like type of applicators. But when it comes to the added benefit of lowering the pH increase that occurs during menstruation, they’ve fallen short until now.
“RepHresh Brilliant pH Tampons are an excellent improvement to traditional tampons, and many of my patients will benefit from them,” Dr. Streicher adds.
After insertion, the pH tampon provides a rapid reduction of pH to within the normal range. Then, as the pH tampon absorbs more fluid, the pH-Reducing Micro-Ribbons’ flow-release technology provides additional support as the body needs it to maintain the pH reduction throughout the tampon usage period.

Now that the secret is out, women can take steps to manage vaginal pH during their period. Now that’s Brilliant.
RepHresh Brilliant pH Tampons come from the makers of RepHresh(R). RepHresh Vaginal Gel is clinically shown to maintain healthy vaginal pH and eliminate odor for up to three full days. RepHresh Pro-B is a daily feminine probiotic supplement that balances yeast and bacteria to maintain feminine health. Visit

Introducing RepHresh Brilliant pH Tampons
Clinically shown to reduce the usual vaginal pH increase during a woman’s period
Cedar Rapids, IA (September 29, 2010): Since their invention in 1929, tampons have had the same basic purpose. But, tampons just got smarter. The RepHresh Brilliant pH Tampon is a bold new innovation in feminine protection that actually reduces the usual vaginal pH increase during a woman’s period.
“Traditional tampons simply absorb and retain fluids,” said Dr. Lauren Streicher, Assistant Clinical Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University’s medical school. “Menstrual fluids have an elevated pH compared to a woman’s normal non-menstrual vaginal pH range. Tampons retain these fluids inside your body. RepHresh Brilliant is the first tampon designed to reduce this pH increase, while providing excellent leak protection and absorbency.”
pH is a measure of the acidity of the vaginal environment. In healthy women, vaginal pH is typically 3.5 to 4.5. The pH of blood is 7.4, so during a woman’s period, vaginal pH becomes elevated by menstrual fluids. While traditional tampons were designed for leak protection, comfort and convenience, they have done nothing to reduce this pH increase. Until now.
RepHresh Brilliant pH Tampons are clinically shown to reduce the usual feminine pH increase. After insertion, the pH tampon provides a rapid reduction of pH to within the normal range. Then, as the pH tampon absorbs more fluid, the pH-reducing Micro-Ribbons’™ flow-release technology provides additional support as a woman’s body needs it to maintain the pH reduction throughout the tampon usage period.
“The RepHresh Brilliant pH Tampon contains two active ingredients: Citric Acid and L-lactide”, said Dr. Streicher. “These are natural, non-irritating ingredients that reduce the pH increase that occurs during menstruation. Citric Acid is a natural organic acid that occurs in the metabolism of virtually all living things. L-lactide is a special form of lactic acid. Lactic acid is naturally found within a healthy woman’s vagina.”
“Gynecologists have long been aware of the importance of maintaining a normal pH. This is an excellent improvement to traditional tampons and many of my patients will benefit from it!” said Dr. Streicher.
