Boric Acid

I'm having absolutely no luck finding a pharmacy in person that will sell boric acid that is safe for vaginal use. I'd like to stop running around town and buy some online, but I'm worried I might buy some that is not safe for vaginal use.

Can anyone recommend any brands I can google? Or has anyone used some from the link below?
http://www.amazon.com/BORIC-ACID-POWDER-HUMCO-OZ/dp/B001V9WY0S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1321942591&sr=8-3

Does anyone have any links to any online source they use?

(PS I need help with tags as I am posting from my iPhone.

NF on the label means "National Formulary" which means safe for use of this type. No boric acid appears to label itself for vaginal use - I assume companies are protecting themselves against litigation as it's not an approved treatment. Don't worry about the warnings on the label, even the stuff I got from a pharmacy says its a pesticide.

Oh, and I just realized the label is different, but that's the same company and product as my BA. Quite safe!

Ah thank you so much. I just could not for the life of me find a label big enough for me to read it on any online products!!
