Dear Sara Lynne,

2 +

For cleaning I use a "bidet"--a plastic "sitz" bath, very light weight,
looks like a wash pan, rests on rim of toilet bowl, soaks the bottom
parts.

Also see if you can find a sponge on plastic rod, sized for washing the
inside of glasses and cups.  That should help your reach and likely be
the right size to aid cleaning the tender parts.  I use it for arm pits,
sometimes legs and feet or midways.

Be creative.

Heal quickly.

So, you need something that will clean the area while you are sitting on
the toilet,
right?  I think I saw something at the grocery store in the pharmacy
section. It was
a portable dibet. would that work?
