Women, unlike males, are expected to maintain high levels of skin hygiene. This is particularly true of the skin around the private area. This is because the skin in this area is extremely sensitive. The following are some of the reasons why you should wipe yourself carefully after urinating.
To stop bacteria from growing
We all know that germs and bacteria thrive in damp, warm conditions, thanks to our fundamental education. This is precisely what occurs here. Bacterial development around your private parts is aided by the warmth provided by your clothes and thighs, as well as the presence of unwiped pee drops.
To avoid unpleasant odors
A foul odor will result from a few unwiped drops that land on your inner garments. That is why you should wipe yourself after urinating to avoid embarrassment.
How to Wipe Yourself After Urinating Correctly And What You Should Use
While some women do not wipe after urinating, those who do may end up with more problems as a result of improper wiping. It’s worth noting that the last few droplets of urine are wiped from front to rear. If done from the rear to the front, some harmful bacteria from the rectum may infect the sensitive skin.
What should I use to wipe myself?
Since childhood, most women have used tissue paper to wipe themselves. Well, it’s not bad. However, it may lead to some complications that we are about to discuss. Tissue paper leaves some solid particles around your skin down there, hence not a great choice, especially for women who have very sensitive skin. Why is this so?
Why is tissue not the best choice for wiping after urination?
It may irritate some people.
As previously said, the skin in your private area is extremely delicate and sensitive. Burning, stinging, and even pain are common symptoms of irritation. You’ll be in a lot of pain as a result of this.
Infection
Some compounds in colored and scented tissue papers may react with your skin. This will have negative consequences, such as reducing the pH. An infection arises as a result of this.
What may I use in place of tissue?
It is recommended that you wipe yourself after urinating with a piece of cloth (a “pee rag”). You can clean yourself with water first, then wipe yourself dry with a clean rag. For more information about the pee rag, please watch this video here.
Do I have to carry the clean cloth in my bag everywhere?
It depends on whether you will be comfortable with it or not. Maybe with time, the cloth will start producing a bad smell after using it and keeping it in your bag when traveling. Besides, in public toilets, you may not be able to use a cloth. Therefore, the only alternative you would have is tissue paper. However, should you use tissue paper, it’s advisable to avoid colored ones. Besides, you should use it simultaneously with water. However, the more comfortable you are carrying a pee rag, the better.
