sperm question

trying to get pregnant....

The morning after having sex my wife will take a shower and she always wash's her vagina with a rag and plenty of soap.  When I say washes she puts one foot on the seat in the shower and takes the soapy rag and gets inbetween the vaginal sides/opening(lips) very well.  I was wondering if since soap will kill sperm if it could work its way in her vagina and into her uterus and kill the sperm that is heading for the egg?  We have been trying for along time to get pregnant and have seen specialists and looked at every thing.  Then the other day I thought of this (the way she clean down there).  Because she is an extreamly clean person and I do like that but maybe she is trying to keep to clean and causing problems.

Thank You
Just Concerned

Summer's Eve is the best feminine wash in my opinion. It has a great light scent and they even have some for sensitive skin. It's a lot LESS harsh than regular soap.

To answer your question, no. And she should not really be using soaps.. It can upset the PH balance in the vagina and cause an infection. Just a thought.
