Any soft, gentle soap is good enough, like dove, lyril lemon, etc or even dettol soap can be used.. Trimming pubic hair is better than shaving.

Hi, Trimming the hair short is safer than full shaving to reduce irritation.  Use a mild, fragrance free soap for gentle cleaning and keep the area dry.

excess sweating, itching, and foul odor in the pubic region during summer requires a practical hygienic assessment. Complete clean-shaving with a razor is actually not highly recommended because it creates microscopic cuts in the skin and leaves behind sharp, coarse hair stubs; as these stubs rub against your skin folds during heavy summer sweating, they cause severe friction, painful razor bumps, and intense itching.
Next Steps
Instead of a zero-shave, a much safer and healthier choice for the summer season is using a clean trimmer to cut the hair very short. Trimming reduces the thick hair mass that traps heavy sweat, trapped sebum, and bacteria, helping to eliminate foul body odor and itching without damaging or breaking your delicate skin barrier.
