I can figure out what to do with my arm pits but the netheer regions are another thing. Any solutions to my problem. Thanks all

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Buy body wipes, they work great or simply use a washcloth. Be well @I am still oxox.

We keep a package of baby wipes in the bathroom. Comes in handy for all your extra cleaning needs.

Old saying..........wash up as far as possible

wash down as far as possible

.........then wash "possible"

Can you take a "bird bath" with a wash cloth and a basin of water?

Rinse-free-no-shower/bathing-wipes. Just google and find them. Several brands out there.

This is a common problem post surgery, injury etc. Depending on your physical limitations using a bathing wipe (no rinse kind) or just a basin of water for a "bird" bath works really well. Other posters have covered the options well too.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

@I am still oxox What some refer to as bird baths, I call a "Lizzie". This may be a southern thing.

It's Lizzie Borden who killed her folks w/ an ax, was covered in blood and stood in or near a basin of water to clean off. Disgusting thought, but the washcloth and basin or sink of warm water works great.

Anyone mention dry shampoo if needed?

*Feel better soon...nothing like a warm shower or bath.

i don't know your limitations but if you can sit on the toilet, i'd recommend a bidet. wishing you a swift recovery.

@Shanus Hi, don't want to take thread off track but Lizzie Borden did her evil deeds in Massachusetts. @I am still oxox I would think a washcloth and soap on the necessary parts would work.
