Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Samesies. I even avoid regular soap, and use the washing products they sell for babies.
A lot of "regular soap" still has additives.
As a final experiment try something like traditional Aleppo soap whose ingredients are typically:
This is then aged for years (I use 3-year aged, but you can find stuff that's aged 10 years or more) which makes it even more mellow. The final result is a soap that is as gentle as it is possible to have an actual soap.
If that still gives you rashes, then yes, give up on soap forever because you can't get anything less reactive. If not, however, I find that it's one of the finest personal cleaning products I've ever used. (I use it for washing my hair, even, because the gentlest and most expensive of shampoos still cause that itchy, tiny-flake dandruff problem for me. Something about lauryl sulfates just don't get along with my skin.)
