Cleaning Inside Your Bum: Tips for Anal Hygiene

What You Need for Cleaning the Bum

Anal douching is perhaps one of the best ways to clean the bum. This method inserts water into the anus and rectum to clean them. What you need to prepare include:

– Fluid: The best option to rinse out the bum is a normal saline. Avoid tap water as it may affect electrolytes balance in the body.

– Lubricant: A water-based lubricant is needed to alleviate insertion and reduce discomfort.

– Delivery method: To insert the fluid into the bum, you will need a sanitary method. A Fleet’s enema is a common option. It is a pre-packaged enema with a lubricated nozzle to avoid damage. An alternative to this can be a bulb syringe or an anal douche bulb. [3]
