General FAQ
How can P.Happi® help me?
P.Happi® supports with microbiome related concerns. The serum can help with intimate dryness and sensitive skin. The serum has a barrier function, creating a protective shield from bacteria who are not part of your natural flora. The bacterium in P.Happi®, Bdellovibrio bacteriovorous, specifically fights gram-negative bacteria leaving the beneficial bacteria to flourish, more here.
P.Happi® is not a medicinal product or medical device. It is not intended to prevent, cure or treat any disease.
P.Happi® cannot fix mechanical or functional related problems such as prolapse or voiding issues however the barrier function can help to shield from bacteria building and causing discomfort.
Please speak to a doctor if you have any specific concerns.
How do I use P.Happi®?
With the bottle standing upright apply one pump to the vulva, labia and perineum area (front to back to avoid contamination). For optimal protection make part of your morning and evening routine.
When you first open and use the bottle you will need to pump a few times. This is due to the filling process. We like to avoid leaks when we're filling the bottles with 20g of P.Happi®!

We recommend you use P.Happi® daily to maintain protection. Use during higher risk times when you are more sexually active, stressed or traveling a lot. For example periods of sexual activity or when traveling.
I forgot to apply the serum. What should I do?
Simply make a note on your calendar of the times or days when you forgot to apply the serum and continue applying it as usual from then on. You do not need to apply it multiple times to make up for a forgotten application. Remember, P.Happi® is most effective when applied every morning and night.

It is also non hormonal and so will be great as non-hormonal support and does not contain any fragrances or preservatives.

Questions about the serum
Is P.Happi® suitable for vegetarians?
P.Happi® is vegetarian friendly!
What does P.Happi® smell like?
P.Happi® is fragrance free! We haven't added a fragrance to the serum to avoid any irritation this may cause and keep the product as natural as possible. Some users have noticed an earthy scent. This comes from the natural ingredient B.Y.M.® 1405 but this fades after application.
Why do you use silicones in the serum and are they safe?
We use silicones in our product to create the stability and consistency of the serum that you love! Silicones have been proven to be safe for use in care products for decades.
They are non toxic and the absence of bioactivity make silicones a suitable and safe solution to administer our bacterium.
We also found that silicones are less likely to stain underwear which is something we thought important as we want you to be able to go about your day without any additional worries.
There isn’t currently an alternative that we can use in place of silicones that will provide the same level of functionality, quality and safety we want. We will however continue to research and develop our products ensuring the quality of our ingredients. Please consult a doctor if you have a specific allergy to silicones.
Is P.Happi® Ph friendly?
P.Happi® is water free and is proven to be microbiome friendly hence does not negatively impact lactobacilli which is important for your intimate Ph.
Is P.Happi® non GMO?
Yes. Our organism, B.Y.M.® 1405 is a natural strain and so is GMO free.

My P.Happi® box arrived damaged
We understand that this can be frustrating however to help keep costs as low as possible we have opted for minimal packaging that can fit through your letterbox for your convenience. This means that at times the yellow P.Happi® box can get a little damaged in transit. This should not affect the integrity of the serum.
Please let us know if the bottle is damaged by emailing hello@p-happi.com
