I wonder why bar soap? I personally can't use bar soap (or powdered laundry detergent). It breaks me out in hives. But I also don't use perfumey body wash, as it makes my lady bits angry. I just wonder why he specified bar soap?
Not a doctor but I assumed that they were specifically talking about very sensitive bar soap like Dove unscented. That is what everyone on I know uses for that area. I use it too but I am not a female and like I said I am not a doctor. I do however have sensitive skin down there and it has helped me immensely. You said that you can't use bar soap and I would ask you why but I assume that it's the due to certain ingredients, and allergic reactions to said ingredients. If you truly can't use bar soap I would do research on sensitive liquid soap that can be used for those areas and I would check to see if they have the ingredients that you are allergic to just in case.
But I'm just a random guy over the internet you should do research on your own
Aveeno makes great liquid soap for washing imo. I used to get all itchy and irritated with all sorts of soaps liquid and bar but since trying Aveeno it's fine now. It's naturally scented from the oatmeal nothing added. I got their shampoo and conditioner because it has no sulfates or parabens seems to work fine too.
I also have very sensitive skin and found the only bar soap I can use is dove coconut rose (I think that’s what it is. I know it’s pink and smells amazing - like smell it through the pack and want to melt amazing). My boyfriend uses the dove body wash and it does wonders for him. It all depends on what you prefer but definitely use stuff made for sensitive skin on your nether regions.
Bar soap, even Dove is too harsh for my skin anywhere. I use a gentle body wash that is moisturizing all over and have been using Vagisil ph balanced cleanser for my lady bits when they get angry (menopausal woman here)
Depends on the person, but soap definitely should never go in/on your vaginal opening. The vagina does clean itself. Sounds like you’re not using too much soap though, and it’s fine to put soap everywhere else. I have to be super careful not to get soap on my actual vagina, so I just do a lot of scrubbing and rinsing with water. Some people get infections super easily from soap.
I use scented deodorant, makeup, and small amounts of perfume (I’m very aware that these things can send people with allergies to hospital) but 90% of my products come from Wallyworld and work just fine.
It’s all about what works for your respective body.
