I have just started doing this and it seems to help. have to make sure I am not increasing the touching of the areas that are most sensitive as it decreases burning by will increase other pain symptoms.

if urinating bothers you, try prelief tablets (sold at wegmans and some other random places, check their website) seemed to help me so far! gets rid of that acidic burning feeling (isn't this condition lovely?)

For me seems to work better to rinse with water and emulsifying ointment.

I think it was the coolness of the water that helped calm down the inflamed skin.

I rinse after sex, rather than after every urination. (Rinsing after sex has almost eliminated my yeast infections.)

Helped soothe the stinging

I think this helped. Maybe just reduces yeast infections?
