I'm a guy and I basically dip in and scrub. I have problems getting my finger tips to touch my anus because the hole is deeper in then my fingers want to go. It's usually wet enough the toilet paper absorbs the shit as much as getting wiped.
I use those baby wipes. Cleans it up real good.
Damn. We really derailed this thread, lol.
I used to use a wet washcloth when I lived alone. But had to stop that when I moved in with my Sisters family.
Yeah "we" really did.
That said, you may want to try drinking large amounts of pro-biotic supplements such as Yakult, and taking pro-biotic capsules, because it is clear that your gut bacteria is very out of whack. The flora and fauna in your gut comprise about 75% of your immune system, and right now you do not have enough of the "friendly" bacteria to wipe out the bad guys, which is probably a major reason why you are experiencing some inflammation in your "exit region". And that is what is causing the bleeding and leakage.
Prior to starting the probiotic regimen, you can also eat a vast quantity of raw garlic to help prepare your gut to accept the probiotics and to help kill off some of the bad bacteria as a helper. If you're truly averse to eating a lot of raw garlic, then don't do it but if you're brave enough to give it a try, it will indeed help.
But all in all, re-balancing and rebooting the flora and fauna in your gut IS definitely key to alleviating the inflammation. I suffered from very bad IBS, leakage, bleeding, etc., for MANY years until I started doing this on occasion.
And no, I am not gay, just a straight guy who does have a few gay friends.
Now let's re-orient the thread again.
