Don't mean to sound weird. I'm just curious what you guys use. Maybe we can find certain gels/soaps that may help us better (especially people with sensitive skin). I like Irish Spring and Dove Men+Care the most.

Alaffia or Nubian Heritage Black Soap. I've used it for years & find it amazing.

OXY for men. I also prefer any shower gel that has a cooling effect.

I switch it up every time to keep things fresh. But omg gayleggg, the Bath and Body Works vanilla scent is AMAZING. One of my favorites for sure.

Various Radox shower gels... I don't just get the "for men" one though, I get some of the other scents too...

Try Irish spring sensitive! If you are into spending a few bucks more; Wood'ys & American Crew have sensitive skin versions too (these are salon brands...if you can find them at the drugstore; ask your barber/hairstylist!)

I don't use shower gel as most are bad for the environment. Instead I use a biodegradable soap and shampoo. My favourite is a Lush beer based product

I switch up scents..my favorite was CVS sunflower but can't find it any longer..& love bath & body's amber. I switch up shampoo & conditioner also. I had accumulated so many from gifts that I just set them in my shower & cycle through. I do like the foam gel that bath & body had..bought a ton because they had quit making it for awhile..moonlight & sweet pea are my favorites in that

I find most shower gels very harsh and drying...I now use 'goats milk' body wash, it is low foaming and has very low PH.

I have sensitive skin and found the best products for me contain donkey milk. Seriously. If it's good enough for Cleopatra...... A lot of French companies make them and I usually get them on Amazon. Soap and gel, both are great and make a huge difference.

I use only white soap as my dr told me too because I'm prone to BV (a girl thing). It's where your ph is unbalanced down there and causes discomfort. So I use dove or a generic alternative. Doesn't matter if it's a bar or a cream.

I use Dove moisturizing .. I dont like scented soaps or gels as I love my perfume and using scented soap messes with the scent of my perfume.

Good to know!

I thought it had to do with the scented stuff, too.

I'm currently using a bar soap an out-of-state friend bought at a farmer's market and sent to me in a care package. I don't know the scent...something fresh.
Thanks for this!

Yea, you want to stay away from anything scented! I'd use that stuff and about once a year I'd get BV. Now that I switched to only "white soaps" I've had no problems.
