Hi, I’m Alice – founder of No.2 and lover of all things gut health.
The idea for this collab was born out of lived experience (and a well-timed Instagram DM).
Here's the backstory
I'd been taking psyllium husk in the form of a couple of supermarket and doctor prescribed premixes for years to manage IBS and endo related pain. The idea for No.2 came when I was postpartum and suffering from a horrible birth injury on top of IBS symptoms.
I'd been taking the orange gunk from the supermarket for years and was on the lookout for a better, more natural alternative that was easy to take. What I found was a bunch of options that were either horrendously expensive or contained a bunch of ingredients with pretty weak links to science around managing the real symptoms I was experiencing. Also, after talking to friends and women in my antenatal group I realised that there were so many people suffering in silence with common gut and bowel related complaints, especially postpartum – lightbulb moment!
Enter No.2
I created No.2 because I wanted a cleaner, simpler, gentler option.
Something that actually worked...
So when I heard from Stevie (founder of amazing post partum care brand Viva La Vulva) she told me she’d been using No.2 on the recommendation of her pelvic floor physio, after suffering from third-degree tear and some gnarly constipation and haemorrhoids. And get this, she had no idea I was the founder, and I had no idea she was using it.
And so she messaged me like:
“Hey, I’ve got a crazy idea…”
And I was like:
“I love crazy ideas.”
And just like that, we teamed up.
We saw pink. We saw boldness. And we saw a shared mission to talk honestly about the things most people shy away from - bowel movements
We’re both big believers in collaboration over competition and lifting other women up.
So, we combined forces and created: No.2 x Viva La Vulva Psyllium Fibre.
It’s the same high-strength, high-quality psyllium fibre supplement you know and love except in a larger 400g size designed to support digestion, which is so key especially during pregnancy and postpartum!!
What makes it special?
- 92% psyllium husk
- A dash of natural flavour
- A touch of natural sweetener
- No weird stuff
Psyllium supports digestion gently - before, during, and after birth.
Because yes, that first postpartum poo is no joke.
This collab is everything we’re about: honest products, open convos, and supporting those with gut issues when it matters most.
This isn’t about “bouncing back.” It’s about getting things moving forward.
Good gut health is a game-changer, especially during postpartum recovery. And we’re stoked to be making it more accessible and talking about real issues affecting women.
You can now shop the No.2 x Viva La Vulva Psyllium Fibre because we’ve got a good gut feeling you’re going to love it.

With love,
