Recommend me nice bath stuff that won’t give me thrush?🫣

Currently recovering from a bout of thrush I believe might be caused by a lush bath bomb, which was lovely btw the bath bomb, not the thrush!

So I’m now understandably wary of lush bath bombs, or anything heavily scented for that matter …

Please recommend me nice products so I can enjoy a lovely relaxing bath without any nasty side effects?

I love baths and spend ages soaking. Lush bath bombs do the same to me, strange as I rarely get thrush.
I use the Westlab unscented epsom salts, with a little bit of bath oil. I prefer oils to bubbles and they are less irritating. They sell Westlab in Home Bargains.
Neal’s yard do nice bath oils. Olverum bath oil is gorgeous, expensive but you don’t need much.

I know right, same with me, I rarely get it too. Literally as soon as I got out of the bath I just didn’t feel right down there (I felt perfectly fine before it). And then it just kept getting worse by the hour. It was almost like instant thrush from that bath 😳

I think it was the heavy perfume in the bath bomb that caused the irritation in my lady garden, it did really smell so strong and the colour maybe too, the bath was bright pink… Didn’t look or smell very natural to me.

Thing is although I don’t have baths frequently I have had baths before, I think I have used radox bubble bath and it’s never caused me thrush…

But now I’m just so paranoid about getting thrush again I’m just going to look for a super gentle product without any perfumes for the bath…

I have had a similar issue so now I use unscented salts (I use a combination of plain table salt, Epsom salts and dead sea salts,but maybe try them separately first to make sure you don't have a reaction ), and then while I'm in the bath I put some essential oil in an oil burner on the vanity, so I get to enjoy the lovely scent but it's nowhere near the sensitive areas!
