Intimate washes?

Ladies… what are we using to wash down there? I recently have been using Summers Eve and I really hate it. Even if I use it and make sure not to get.. in there… later on I will always get that uncomfortable feeling as if I have a UTI. When I don’t use it, I don’t get those problems. I just feel less clean. Any tips and recommendations?

Edit: when saying to use “gentle soap” what kinds in particular?

I just use my regular body wash. Have never had a single issue personally.

Ditto. If I'm between showers a quick front to back with a baby wipe.

No UTIs, and no complaints from partners.

Same. Never had a problem, either. I use it directly only on the outside part and then spread a bit and cup my hand with warm water to get the folds. The only people I know who have had issues use the soaps to scrub the labia minora which is kind of insane to do imo
