Lemmings without bidet: how do you deal with your period?

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

Sorry for not providing a helpful answer, but TIL a bidet can be used for this 😳 sounds like a very useful lifehack too

Ol trusty rag on a stick never let me down

Well, firstly, you don't need a lot of time between tampons, technically -- so long as the absorption size isn't too crazy and you're changing them frequently enough. Secondly, fuck tampons, get a menstrual cup. For the uninitiated, it's a silicone doohickey essentially shaped like a bell that fits around the cervix. Learning curve? Yes. Squick factor? Probably. tons of sizes. Safer than tampons (see Toxic Shock Syndrome).

Pays for itself in a few months if you have heavy flow.

Bidet would be a little less necessary but still, if heated, v nice.

If I've had a rough second day I'll half-shower rinse, sure, but the merula xl is just about big enough to handle it otherwise.

DIY wet wipes (reaching over to the sink and dampening some tp while at home, or dampening a paper towel before entering the toilet stall in public)

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.

Don't really need one, I have a menstrual cup and don't get really any mess.

I have a packet of baby wipes for bad days.

Portable bidets are a thing. Basically a squeeze bottle with a special nozzle to direct the stream. Periods aren't something I have to deal with, so I really don't know what kind of cleanup is required, but it seems like it would be better than nothing.

I don't have to worry about it now, but when I had my period (and I strictly used pads) I would use a peri-bottle full of warm water. My period having teen uses refresher wipes.

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

I installed it last month. I want to help mother nature so reducing paper waste and also its much cleaner than wiping

I just grew a dick instead

Bidet, mate
