Shaving (through nicks) and overweight (through chafing) may make it easier for the bacteria to enter through small breaks in the skin. Some overweight women I know who have the same problem have told me that they get relief from washing with Hibiclens. Ask your doctor if that's a reasonable possibility for you.
