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 π³ sounds like a very useful lifehack too
Ol trusty rag on a stick never let me down
** Applauds **
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)
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.
I tried the cup. I have several sizes. They just got stuck in there and never popped open and almost ended up going to the ER to have it removed.
My condolences.
My super jenny isn't firm at all and I don't have trouble maneuvering it but the merula xl is very firm and that fucker hurts if it pops too soon β οΈ
I have a packet of baby wipes for bad days.
Don't flush those! Even if they say flushable , they're lying.
You probably already know that, but just in case some people don't.
But do flush your spent AA batteries
You can pour a little paint down the drain, as a treat
Just my AA chips when my drinking buddies come by for a surprise visit.
Yeah goes in the tiny rubbish bin.
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.
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.
Don't really need one, I have a menstrual cup and don't get really any mess.
Being male.
go away
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
Reading comprehension issue?
So its impossible for them to get a bidet? I didn't exactly comprehend that part either...
