Question

I am currently on flagyl and been using dove sensitive soap but was wondering if those feminine washes are good like Summers eve? Vagisil? Does bv make you irritated after you wash down there with bit of soap and water mix?

You dont' put soap IN your vagina. Regardless. 
To clean the vulva, you can use just water, or any mild unscented soap.  You don't want or need any kind of 'feminine wash'.

Old-fashioned bars of Ivory soap.  No medicinal value, but no scent, no perfumes, no anti-bacterial ingredients, etc.  Just gentle soap.
