I really disagree with this suggestion.
I have to caution against leaving soap in that area....ever.
Soap is highly alkaline and our skin requires a modest acid environment to kill bacteria. Leaving soap anywhere on the body invites irritation and worse.
Best to use a gently moist compress of first aid hydrogen peroxide to cleanse that area.
Eating probiotics or Kefir will provide beneficial organisms to keep that area free of pathogens. This is a much more useful approach than leaving soap. The antibacterial soaps will also kill off beneficial bacteria and make matters actually worse over time.
