To Pee or not to Pee .... That is the question!

Okay, so I have seen posts from ladies in particular but I'm sure there are some gents as well that may benefit from this so here goes ! Lol

When we get those nasty ulcers 'down below' many people advise that it is least painful when you can pee in the bath. I used to use the shower myself and by spraying the nozzle at the same time as peeing it diluted the urine enough to take the nasty sting out of the whole process. The only problem with this is that you have to undress from the waist downwards and dry yourself off every time you need a pee which , if it is your only option, is a great solution.

However, it wasn't long before I started to look for alternatives and I discovered that you can buy a spray that you attach to the water pipe behind the loo and by aiming it at your affected area while sitting on the loo, it had the same effect as popping in the shower without all the need to undress etc...

The spray is generally used by many people specifically from the Asian community and is called a WUDU spray. You may have seen them in very posh hotels abroad in places like Thailand ?

If you look at the auction sites on the internet you will see that you can buy a good range of this spray in all sorts of finishes to match your decor and once installed by tapping in to the water pipe behind the loo it is ready to use and is very helpful for ulcers around the back passage that we also get. They range from about £5 to £25 but all do the same thing and some have the attachment that clicks in directly to the main pipe so you don't even need a plumber. To be honest any reasonable DIY enthusiast could fit this very easily by just adding a three way connection and the pipe that leads to the spray head is basically the same as the shower ones we see all the time.

I have them in all my bathrooms now and find them very useful even for cleaning the loo when doing my housework !

Anyway .... I hope I have inspired some of you to have a look and maybe invest in this simple piece of equipment that will give you so much relief and is just so convenient.

Take care all !

Big hugs xx

Hi and hope you don't mind a lady's advice. I've also passed this on to my female friends and it's a simple and easy idea that you could even take out with you. A right sized plastic container to pee in then empty into the toilet.

And, at least it is portable!!!

Good luck gents

Hi Billi,

Any suggestion are always welcome !

Have a look back on my profile for the post I wrote three years ago on portable bidets! They're fabulous yo use front or back and great for appointments where the consultant want yo have a look at the ulcers and you can have a nice freshen up before and after.

They're pretty cheap and are made to fit in most handbags so they are no problem to carry and all bathrooms have running water so you're fully equipped and ready to go !

Take care,

Big hugs xx

xandii,

This is brilliant advice! As a man I can confirm that this will make a big difference for us too! I have already located them on eBay and will purchase one as soon as I can be sure it will be easily fitted - I am not a DIY-er by any stretch of the imagination, so don't know where to start with this, but I'm sure I can find someone to help.

Thank you very much for sharing!

Kind wishes,

Will :D

Glad to help !

The WUDU spray is easy to do ..... I did mine myself and I'm not practical at all. Lol. I just know you will really get the benefit from it. I just connected mine to the cold water pipe which I find really refreshing on the sore bits as it soothes at the same time.

Just one tip if you are thinking of getting the portable bidet. Please don't be tempted to add anything to the water once you have filled it from the tap. I had the fabulous idea of adding a dilute antiseptic to help with the ulcers.

I still have the claw marks deeply embedded in the ceiling and neighbours still talk of the horrific unusual screams they heard one day that sounded like a pig having its testicles removed with two bricks ! Lol

Take care,

Big hugs xx
