S/O bubbles...moms of girls?

[slug*bug]

I haven't used bubbles in the bath...in part b/c I've been worried about potential irritation for DD's genitalia.

Valid concern or something you read about that never happens IRL?

[DarcyLongfellow]

Not something I've ever given any thought.

I wash her labia and bottom with soap anyway, so I don't think sitting in a bubble bath would be much different.

I was brainwashed by my mom not to use bubble bath for that reason. I don't know if there's any real cause for concern, though.

I never even thought about it. As far as I know it hasn't seem to irritate her or anything.

Arent bubbles just soap?

My oldest DD had both IUDs and irritation that hurts like hell (but no IUD) from bubble baths, or even from a bit too much soap not thoroughly rinsed. So yeah, no bubble baths in this house. I need to take the shower head and hose her down after every bath.

They are, but apparently (?) sitting in the bubble bath (which is a potential irritant) can lead to itching, etc. There's even a term for it: bubble bath cystitis. I had tons of UTIs as a kid, so maybe that's why I've heard of it?

I was brainwashed too. We've used certain bubble-like products that even say (in super fine print) that it might cause vaginal irritation. We haven't used full-on bubble bath with her yet.

Very valid concern! DD's has suffered irritation and I used to have issues as well
