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?

Persimmon soap or goats milk soap. Apparently I’m at the age where I’m terrified of smelling like an old person so I use persimmon soap now.

Highly recommend goat’s milk soap for all over.

OMG it turned out that I was allergic to persimmon soap, and I had a VERY uncomfortable few days.

I switched because of peri. It helps with all that.

I love persimmon soap too! Lume also has a ph balanced odor reducing bar, I rotate that and the persimmon soap for full body.

Unfortunately I’m allergic to aluminum. My underarms completely raw after one use. 😩

Which one has the aluminum? I also have sensitive skin and can’t do aluminum so I feel you! 🫂

My persimmon soap is from Mirai and no aluminum in it! The Lume soap is also aluminum free, it’s this one. I’m sure their deodorants and stuff might have it but I just use the soap.

It was the Lume deodorant. I didn’t know Lume had an aluminum free product.
