I find I still feel incredibly wet and not especially clean. Perhaps I need to improve my bootie shake but I'm struggling here. Do you wait a minute or two before you put your underwear back on? I love this idea but so far I'm not convinced it will work for me...

Maybe I should try this. I think I would opt for the squirty bottle over cloth wipes. (Almost like a hand-held bidet...?)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the eco-tips.

(I put just a smidge into the whole squirty bottle.) If it starts to give me problems, I'll stop using it, but I figured people soak in soapy water when they take baths and not everyone rinses off after baths. <BR/><BR/>I don't know. I might do away with the soap next time I fill up my bottle though. There's so little in there that it's probably just a pscyhological benefit rather than an actual cleanliness benefit.ruchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043512641324366469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-33124243430756500272008-01-03T10:46:00.000-08:002008-01-03T10:46:00.000-08:00Water works fine, but I'm a lousy dancer.

And it doesn't add that much to the overall laundry although hanging the wipes to dry on the clothesline is rather tedious.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-21857564303810448342008-01-03T09:24:00.000-08:002008-01-03T09:24:00.000-08:00More on the TMI front...

They send you home from the hospital with a squirty water bottle because most women are so "damaged" from the birthing process that they can't use TP for weeks. And also, you're bleeding heavily for like 4 weeks, so using a little squirty water bottle goes a long way towards keeping you "spring time fresh." <BR/><BR/>I've still got mine under the sink. Maybe I should pull it back out...<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm not sure how I'd feel about the smidge of soap in there since you're not "rinsing" afterwards. Seems like it might be bad for the sensitive skin down there.

No problems. I just couldn't deal with cloth wipes and my erratic schedule in doing laundry.

I mean we use toilet paper 1) for dryness and 2) to feel clean, yes? <BR/><BR/>So basically, by not using toilet paper, I'm giving up on the dryness (not such a big deal, because wait a few minutes and you're perfectly dry) but I still feel clean.ruchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043512641324366469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-48900193052681008092008-01-02T16:20:00.000-08:002008-01-02T16:20:00.000-08:00so, um, does leaving the bathroom after using the ...so, um, does leaving the bathroom after using the squirty bottle feel much different than having not used anything?
