Same soap - genital OB & shave legs - is this a NO NO???

[d00m kitty]

Hi everyone

My husband asked me last night if I used the same soap that I use to wash myself when I have a genital OB as I do when I shave my legs. I said yes I do. Is this a NO NO???? Should I be using another separate soap when I do shave my legs?

thanks

Hi Kez,

I've read many times that it has been shown that soap deactivates the virus on contact. Hopefully, that's true!

But if you don't feel confident about it, I'd say just a bit of rubbing of the bar and running water over it between the two activities would make sure there is no problem, as the surface of a bar of soap wears away rather quickly.

Take care and Happy Holli-Dayz

Thanks RG

I wasn't concerned then hubby mentioned it, then I did wonder if it was such a good idea?

Happy holidayz to you too.

Doom,

Hmmmm, that's a good question. I have always used a different soap down *there* as I am very sensitive and prone to y.infections and irritation to regular soaps. I use Dove unscented and sometimes Vagisil (and that smells fantastic and for the life of me don't know why it doesn't bother me...lol) So I have always used a different soap but not for the reason hubby asked you....I think Realistic is right..rubbing the soap between the two should do it. Who knows?? Hahaha

Hi Daisy

I use a non-scented fragrance free soap anyhow cos like you I'm also sensitive to soap, but that's all over LOL

Hmmmmm yeah who knows & I'm not sure I want to find out if it's a bad idea?

hugs
