BalanceActiv is great for BV but I've found it makes no difference to thrush.

Yes, you're right, it's not great for thrush, but works wonders for BV. I've basically done everything when I've had thrush and nothing really works apart from cotton knicks and not using soap. But luckily, it only seems to happen around the end of the cycle before a period or during pregnancy!

I be found the exact opposite
My friend reccomended it to me and it was like oohs I can sit down now

Lilylg, actually I've read that washing immediately after sex is bad because it removes the good natural bacteria which fights the infections and the bad bacteria so you basically prevent your body of fighting the infections etc. I don't remember exactly but was something like this.

Me too! Cleansing is essential; not only physically but energetically.

Washing often with shower gel or similar products is particularly bad for this. Washing often with just water is better, and only occasionally using shower gel.

Well. First times in my life when I got trush when I was too lazy to wash myself after sex or wash over lube or when it was hot outside.
I just always start itching after ro so I always wash other persons ph
I rarely use any products there, just water.

Sometimes it can be about a balance between washing too much and too little. There are many other factors involved, like stress, diet (chocolate and sugar!) and hormonal changes.

I hate getting thrush in fact I am so loathe to get it again I have given up all sugar in my diet bar what is hidden in foods e.g. bread and I don't drink alcohol either and no more honey or marmite for me.  The tablets make me so ill for three weeks after I was getting thrush twice a year so that is 6 weeks out of my life feeling pants no thank you.

I am washing daily with Vagisil and I now take one probiotic after breakfast every day.  Fingers crossed.

If I have to take more than two showers in a day I then wash down below with aqueous cream instead of using Vagisil endlessly.  Luckily I only do one or two meets a day tops so that should cover it - we hope!  It is important in the heat to not get too sweaty and sticky.

I don't allow fingering at all as I found this was causing it (well I suspect it was).

Pee straight after sex. When the client leaves I go straight in the shower to rinse down there .

I've also found a really good lube from Ann Summers, which is non - irritating , I swear by it - 'JO H20 Lubricant '
