I use the unscented version of which the OP speaks. I find it to be very gentle and effective.

God made us ladies self cleaning. Only exterior surfaces need be washed with gentle soap.

How gross using water only! I HAVE to use soap! I have never developed any kind of infection or irritation using soap and water.

I'm always interested when people say to not mess with what god gave us/how god designed us, etc. Then they go and shave the area that we are only supposed to rinse with plain water. {#emotions_dlg.huh} (kidding)

sort of back to the topic, I find that the type of undies make a big difference in how fresh the area seems. Breathable fabrics down there are much better for everyday wearing... Every time I wear a "prettier" pair in a different fabric, I'm more prone to issues in that region.

If you have a bush, you should soap it. I don't, but I still use soap. No infections.

My MD said not to use them .... too many irritants and they only benefit the manufacturer's bottom line.

I love my Philosophy shower gels, but use only Dove unscented on my privates.

I agree. There's no way plain water is going to clean you properly. Yuck.

If you don't use soap you stink, worked with a lady that smelled till someone told her she smells and she got the hint to wash and never smelled again specialy if you have rolls of skin
