Do you regularly take half showers between tampons or you’re fine with just drying for the most intense days?

    I’m wondering if there’s a medical condition here. What is happening to need showers between tampons?

    Tangential: If the toilet paper shortage during the pan wasn’t enough to wake Americans up to the need for bidets, nothing will. We’re savages over here.

      I still can’t imagine how people live without a bidet. They’re just walking around with poopy asses all the time.

          There’s always residue. You’re just diluting it by wiping repeatedly. Before I was a bidet convert, I was a very thorough wiper. Now that I’ve experienced both, I know there’s never enough dry wiping.

      Italian here. We always had a bidet and used it as a second toilet as kids. Never used it. As an adult I soak in the tub

    I get a shot in my butt every three months so I don’t get my hell periods.

    Before that, showers were hell because I had such heavy flows. Everything was just hell.

    Okay, I’m a bit concerned at this whole thing.

    When I’m on then I shower once a day. I use femfresh to wash and then towel dry.

    Why would I need anything else in between? Most disposable products need changing every 4hrs but that doesn’t mean throughly cleaning between uses. Reusables vary but again nothing needs deep cleaning under than 12hrs.

    I feel like I’m misunderstanding the question?

    Just have a penis! Duh!

    But really, I live in savage no-bidet land, but thankfully I have a handheld shower head that I can just use sitting on the corner of the tub. When I didn’t have a tub, I just squatted, but it’s not nearly as easy
