Hot in The City: Fake Chemists & Risky Products, What You NEED to Know!

In this episode, we dive into the alarming trend of self-proclaimed chemists selling products for intimate care without proper regulation. We discuss the dangers of using these mystery products, personal experiences with their promoters, and the long-standing use of traditional remedies like sepa and gaweh—which also have their limits. Regular gynecologist checkups remain essential, yet many are turning to unverified solutions instead of trusted methods like unscented soap and water. We also examine why people trust sellers who can’t even list full ingredients, question their credentials, and highlight the lack of legal accountability if these products cause harm. Why isn’t the Ministry of Health stepping in, and what are the long-term effects of using these questionable items? Can these sellers guarantee safety? This is just Part 1! In Part 2, we’ll bring in a gynecologist and one of these product makers to defend their claims—if they dare. Stay tuned!
