It's antibacterial, it's been used generation after generation.
Im tryna get an answer out of mum which isn't long n complex but it's something I've grown up with.
Its just a hygiene thing lol

I really don't know how to explain it. Using dettol when washing is as normal to us as moisturising everyday.

For me, personally, Its antibacterial, I feel extra clean.......*covers eyes* I actually love the smell of it Loool (I'm so sad)

My dad always has dettol in his bath-he works at a cement works and so wearin boots etc all the time and it's a good way for him to prevent fungal infections and really get him clean lol xx

I had the worst itching ever a few weeks ago! I was ready to kill! I resorted to reducing the temperature of my daily bath, not putting any bubbles at all in it, and washing with water only! I also would lay on the bed starkers afterwards to 'dry naturally' and went n bought underwear that was a bit too big so it was nice and breezy!! I also used the canesten cream during the night as this was when I found it the most frustrating and it wud keep me awake! Fingers crossed, touch wood, etc etc it has passed, though I still have 10wks to go so I'm praying it doesn't return!

I might have to try the whole drying naturally n stuff
