Bidets come from Europe. Now there are many other places I could name to talk about hygiene.

This what wipes, washcloths, and sponge baths are for.

Some smell pretty bad even if washed everyday. Men notice, but most won't tell you.

I am one of the dry-skin folks who stated that this is the reason why I do not shower daily. But of COURSE I shower if I work-out (which, unfortunately, I do not do daily, but that is another problem unto itself ). But dear heavens, yes, always after a work-out! I HATE how I feel -- sweaty and stinky -- after a work-out and cannot wait to feel clean and fresh again!

Always after I work out, so five times a week. Other days maybe, maybe not -depending on what I did. I wash my hair once a week.

What do you do after a BM at work? Serious question.


BM at work only if it can't be avoided. I wash the minute I get home. Serious answer.


Is it on your mind the whole time between the BM and when you get home?


Really, if cleaning is a challenge afterwards, why not try portable wipes? This is such a help, particularly if you find it hard to wipe clean postpartum. If I do this and wash my hands well I don't think about bathroom issues when I'm not at home. Problem solved.


I use them, but, since ~ 24 (way prepartum) I don't feel clean enough until I wash. Really wish bidets were common in the US.

And, of course I always shower after exercising, but, even at my best, I don't exercise more often than 3x a week.

Every other day, unless there is a specific need to shower more. I don't stink. My toddler gets baths as needed, but usually not every day.

I shower daily...sometimes twice if I work out at lunch.

My German au pair, however, will shower every 2-3 days. It's gross.

I wait until at least 3 BMs before washing there. Sometimes only 2 if I'm on my period. Nobody has ever said anything. Honestly, what's toilet paper for?
