Community Highlights: Meet Shyla Slavin of MyVluxe.com

Today we’d like to introduce you to Shyla Slavin.

Hi Shyla, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I come from a background in business and marketing. I graduated from San Diego State University, worked for a few marketing agencies, and started an E-commerce store with my husband. Being in this field for so many years taught me the difference between companies that are over-selling their products simply to increase their profits vs. really great companies that care about their customers and offer a high-quality and unique product. I always knew that the secret to having a successful online business was to put the customers first to create loyalty and recurring revenue.

Back in 2019, I was diagnosed with a female infection called Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). BV is one of the most common vaginal infections that you’ve probably never heard about. There is an estimated number of 21 million women in the USA that suffer from BV every year and the only current treatment for it is antibiotics. The issue is that BV can very easily come back every few weeks which creates a recurring infection and a constant need to be on antibiotics which creates other issues for us women.

While I was dealing with BV, I’ve tried everything to get rid of it for good. Probiotics have been shown to be extremely effective, however, I learned that since probiotics are not regulated by the FDA, companies are not held liable if what they advertise on the label description does not match the formula. You see, probiotics can very easily die during shipment, storage, or lifetime-use if they are produced incorrectly. After trying a few different probiotics for bacterial vaginosis that did not work for me, I decided to take matters into my own hands and find a better solution.

While I was dealing with recurring BV and searching for a solution I started speaking with a lot of other women who were dealing with the same issue. I promised myself that if I was able to find a solution, I would HAVE to share it with other women who suffer from BV.

After extensive research, I was able to find a manufacture that makes high-quality probiotics in the USA, using high potency formulas and strains that are resistant to extreme weather and stomach acid (that means the probiotics will actually stay alive through the expiration date and we’ll be able to enjoy their full benefits!). I personally wanted to try these probiotics for a few months to make sure they would help me personally before I started selling them. It was incredible – my BV issues were gone within a few weeks of taking the probiotics! That’s when MyVLuxe.com was born. Our main goal and mission here at MyVLuxe.com is to provide women with reliable solutions and remedies to help with bacterial vaginosis and other common vaginal infections.

While our business is still young and growing, we’ve already received reviews and feedback from some of our customers who absolutely love our probiotics. It feels amazing to know that I am now able to help other women who are struggling with the same infection I was struggling with for so long!

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The main challenge that we’ve had so far is creating trust around our V-Luxe brand. We’re a fairly new company and it’s always the hardest to get the first few sales and reviews. While BV is a taboo subject, I do not shy away from talking about it and putting my name and story behind our brand. Our customers truly appreciate the transparency and personal story behind MyVluxe.com.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Here at myVluxe.com we sell probiotics that are formulated for women who are suffering from bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and UTIs. Our probiotics are produced in a meticulous process to ensure the good bacteria will stay alive until the expiration date on the bottle.

The main thing that sets us apart is our CFU guarantee – we send our probiotics to a third party lab that verifies the CFU (colony forming units) count that is advertised on our label. We guarantee the live CFU count throughout the use of our product.

More than that, our probiotic formula is specifically made to treat women’s infections by increasing the good bacteria which then helps prevent bad bacteria overgrowth and infections.

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I definitely like to take calculated risks. I do think that risks are great and they provide us with further opportunities but it is important to not have all your eggs in one basket and to make sure you’ll be ok if the risk does not pan out!

My husband and I knew that starting this new business and brand would be a huge risk, but it is just so personal for me, and so close to home, and I just could not stand the idea that I would have this solution in my lap that could help so many other women, and keep it to myself. I HAD to at least try to help as many women with this awful vaginal infection as I possibly can. So far, the risk is absolutely paying off, as MyVLuxe.com has already received amazing feedback and reviews from very happy women whose BV is now gone.
