How To Clean The Inside Of Your Butt: Dos and Don'ts - Healthline

Butt cleaning is a topic that few enjoy talking about, but everyone should know it. It may sound simple, but it isn't - the risk of injury and damage if you're not careful.

We give tips on everything from proper cleaning to things that you should definitely not wear on or around your buttocks. Read on to learn how to stay clean.

Good anal hygiene requires a holistic approach that also takes into account the foods and drinks you consume. Here are some basic tips:

• Eat a high fiber diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and whole foods. These help to give the stool more volume and prevent constipation. Although you should insert the fibers slowly, try to absorb last. 30 to 40 grams of fiber per day. If you have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), talk to your doctor about how much fiber to eat.
• Drink enough non-alcoholic fluids to make your urine turn pale yellow. Liquids help soften the stool and make it easier to pass.
• Use soft toilet paper and gently wipe it after a bowel movement.
• After bathing, allow the skin to air dry.
• Avoid wearing underwear that irritates the anal area, such as thongs. Also, avoid wearing fragrant panty liners.
• Wear undyed cotton underwear to avoid irritation.

The key is to keep the anal area clean, dry, and free of irritants.

You don't have to do an anal shower every day, but there may be circumstances where you need to feel very clean, such as receptive anal sex . If so, consider an anal douche.

We don't necessarily tolerate anal showers, but if you do think about it, there are a few guidelines you can follow to keep it safe:

Materials you will need

• Fluid. Normal saline solution is the best option for flushing your buttocks. It is better than tap water, which can affect the balance of electrolytes such as sodium in your body.
• Shipping method. You need something hygienic to move the liquid from your container to your buttocks. One method is a liquor enema. This is a packaged enema that usually has a lubricated mouthpiece to prevent damage. If you don't have one on hand, a pear syringe is an alternative. These are also similar to another option called an anal shower pear that adult stores can sell.
• Lubricant. Regardless of the method of administration chosen, you will need a water-based lubricant to make insertion easier.

Steps to follow

1. Apply lubricant to your method of administration. Some people can also insert a lubricated gloved finger into the rectum before inserting an enema or a fleet ampoule.
2. Slowly and carefully insert the delivery method into the rectum. Never introduce forcefully or quickly. Standing with one leg on the toilet seat near the toilet can be a good starting position.
3. Slowly release the liquid into your rectum. Start with a small amount of water and try to hold the water for 10 to 15 minutes (if possible). If you can't hold the water, flush it down the toilet.
4. Go to the bathroom after 10 to 15 minutes to allow the water and stool to pass out.

To make this process as safe as possible, a gentle process with lubricated tools is required.

Stool in your sensitive anal area can be very itchy. Thorough cleaning and cleaning of the anal area ensures optimal comfort. Here are some good practices:

• Clean from side to side . This prevents bacteria from entering the urinary tract.
• Avoid using scented towels or other potentially harmful agents to cleanse your buttocks.
• Use soft toilet paper, fragrance-free wipes, or a soft, damp cloth to wipe your bum.
• Avoid vigorous cleaning; instead, use gentle strokes to clean the floor.
• Clean with mild soap and warm water, then pat your bottom dry with a soft cloth.

If your anal area is severely irritated, you can apply a water-based cream to reduce the irritation.

Part of learning how to clean your bum is learning what not to do. Take it from anyone who has tried and been hurt before. Don't use any of these solutions on or around your buttocks to cleanse them:

• alcohol
• bleaching
• Hydrogen peroxide
• iodine
• Oil-based lubricant (may irritate the skin of the rectum)
• olive oil
• Talc powder
• Witch hazel

Unless it's a mild detergent or hot water, it probably has nothing to do with your rectum.

Itching, burning or the general feeling of dirt in the anal area is not a pleasant feeling.

If you have a severe itchy rash or have trouble feeling clean, you may have hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum that may be around the anal opening called external hemorrhoids or inside the anal opening called internal hemorrhoids.

Although hemorrhoids are usually painless, some may bleed or make stool difficult to clean. Unless they are very large, hemorrhoids are usually more of an inconvenience than a serious problem.

If you experience tenderness or even pain after a difficult bowel movement, an anal fissure may be the cause. Anal fissures are cracks in the anal canal, usually caused by hard, dry stool. Treatments include adding fiber and water to your diet so that your bowel movements become easier and your skin can heal.

If you suddenly experience severe pain in the anal area, accompanied by redness or bloating, you may have an anal abscess or fistula. This could indicate an infection of the skin or the anal glands.

Although occasional itching is possible if the stool has not been completely cleaned, you should see a doctor if you experience persistent or severe pain or itching in the rectum.

You should urgently see a doctor if you experience excessive bleeding from your rectum.

This blood can appear light red to dark red or even look like coffee grounds. While a few drops periodically may indicate hemorrhoidal bleeding, excessive bleeding warrants a trip to the emergency room. Frequent but less bleeding may warrant a visit to a doctor.

When it comes to keeping your butt clean, you'd better be careful. Using soft toilet paper or dye-free wipes can help keep you clean and comfortable.

In most cases, you won't need any more. If you experience itching, bleeding, or other abnormalities, talk to your doctor.
