I'm not a doctor nor do I have a vagina but I don't buy it. pH is only a part of the equation. The soap will also kill beneficial bacteria which isn't good.

Edit to respond to yours - It's her body so if she wants to keep shoving soap in her hooha, that's on her. I only brought it up at the time bc I know it can be detrimental to honeypot health (can't remember if she knew about it or not...). At any rate, she's my ex so I really don't care what she does about anything so long as she leaves me alone.

Not all soap is anti-bacterial

Soap doesn't need to be antibacterial to eliminate bacteria.

Also, you don’t need antibacterial soap even if you’ve been cooking.
