When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

me, too!
I have exactly the same problem. Haven't been able to use regular soap "there" for years. I use either Cetaphil liquid cleanser or a generic equal. DEFINITELY get irritated if I am forced to use regular soap.
Apparently, my urethra/bladder are very easily irritated. A lot of times when I would wear a tampon, if the string was in a place where it was pressed against my urethra, it irritated me.

no soap!
my dd is very prone to such irritation
we never use soap down there, just plenty of water, and if you have the time - airdry!
and the WW vulva balm is WONDERFULLY soothing

more thoughts
yep-
same for me- highly fragranced soaps are terrible- I go for oatmeal or non-scented/natural vegetable oil soaps and very sparingly and it seems to be better. I've also found wearing no undies at night, wearing skirts and dresses rather than pants and shorts stops the issue too. mind you I've had to give up caffeine and alcohol too as they also iritate my bladder/urethra combo.
anyone else think there might also be a link between soap and yeast infections? crossed my mind as soap seems to bring that on too...

soap and yeast
In our experience, not every irritation that looks like yeast is yeast. could be its plain old irritation from soap.
but otoh, so many soaps these days are antibacterial, I wonder if that can't help the yeasties proliferate and cause problems in the area.
