I get yeast infections somewhat easy. I used to get them constantly with my first boyfriend. My second boyfriend I got 2 or 3 a year. Lately I haven't been getting them much but did get a couple after my period and when I used some summers eve wash. I tried the wash again and got a really bad yeast infection so I'm sure that is related. Typically I just use water but after a period or a time when I am not feeling so fresh, is there anything I can use? Maybe I can wash around the area but be careful to not get it actually in there? Also, when I don't have a yeast infection, and things are normal-I think- sometimes I still get that white stuff stuck in the folds. I usually use my fingernail to kind of scrape it out. Is that normal? Do other people do that?

Also, does anyone drink asodophilus(sp?)milk for preventing yeast infections?

I have Platex Petals, I haven't used them much but when I have they're totally fine. They come individually wrapped so they're easy to stick in a pocket or a bag, and they're very gentle.
And I use Dove sensitive skin soap in the shower and it's never irritated the area at all. I mean obviously I'm not shoving it inside of myself but I'll wash around the area really well and make sure it's very clean, it never causes any pain or irritation.

idk about YIs, I've never gotten them. Can't help you there, sry bb =(

oh and PS all I've ever heard is that Summers Eve is really bad for you. This may be totally wrong but that's what I've always been told, so idk
