To Aynne, darling...
Girl, if it works for you, that's fabulous! (And yes, I get the whole color of my urine thing, too.... heck if your urine is any color beyond a couple hues past clear, you aren't drinking enough water!)
I don't think anybody thinks it's wrong for you to do what works for you down in your bidness. That's fabulous. However, I wouldn't want some man to think a lot of baths, soap, etc. is a good idea for other women. If I did all that stuff, I wouldn't be able to walk because the yeast infection would be so rampant. You'd have to tie my hands behind my back, and I'd be begging someone to kill me. I can't stand to itch in any case, and a yeast infection ... *shivers*
There is a reason women eat a lot of yogurt - and it's not because we love it. We LEARN to love it if we don't like it right away. That stuff keeps the itchies away. (Forget the apple, get out your crock pot and make some yogurt). The yogurt in the hoo hoo? I found many years ago it only worked if it was at the verrrrrrrrrrry beginning of a yeast infection. (I used to get them all the time. Now? Hmmm. I got one in ... 2006 I think? Amazing what a change in diet can do for you.)
I find that if I keep the following things to a minimum, I have no issue: beer (it has yeast), bread (it has yeast), sugar (it feeds yeast). Back when I was getting them a long time ago, I gave up those three things, and within 3 days they were cleared of my system, and voila! All better!
In the interests of helping others, I'm attaching a recipe for home made yogurt. It's cheap, wicked easy, and yummy (rather like you, Aynne darling  ok, and If you are cheap, wicked easy, and yummy, then ME TOO!  )
Best,
sunshine

The recipe says let it sit for 8 hours, but I let mine sit for 12. It's thicker and creamier and not so sour.
8 cups (half-gallon) of whole milk--pasteurized and homogenized is fine, but do NOT use ultra-pasteurized. (Debbie recommends starting with whole milk until you get the hang of yogurt-making)
--1/2 cup store-bought natural, live/active culture plain yogurt (you need to have a starter. Once you have made your own, you can use that as a starter)
--frozen/fresh fruit for flavoring
--thick bath towel
The Directions.
This takes a while. Make your yogurt on a weekend day when you are home to monitor.
I used a 4 quart crockpot. This is so exciting. My fingers are shaking!
Plug in your crockpot and turn to low. Add an entire half gallon of milk. Cover and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours.
Unplug your crockpot. Leave the cover on, and let it sit for 3 hours.
When 3 hours have passed, scoop out 2 cups of the warmish milk and put it in a bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup of store-bought live/active culture yogurt. Then dump the bowl contents back into the crockpot. Stir to combine.
Put the lid back on your crockpot. Keep it unplugged, and wrap a heavy bath towel all the way around the crock for insulation.
Go to bed, or let it sit for 8 hours.
In the morning, the yogurt will have thickened---it's not as thick as store-bought yogurt, but has the consistency of low-fat plain yogurt.
Blend in batches with your favorite fruit. I did mango, strawberry, and blueberry. When you blend in the fruit, bubbles will form and might bother you. They aren't a big deal, and will settle eventually.
Chill in a plastic container(s) in the refrigerator. Your fresh yogurt will last 7-10 days. Save 1/2 cup as a starter to make a new batch.
