Sink “bidet” step by step
1. Gather: clean paper towels, a small towel to sit on, mild unscented soap (bar or pump), a squeeze bottle/clean cup or handheld sprayer if you have one, disposable gloves (optional), disinfectant spray/wipes.
2. Prepare sink area: place towel on sink edge so skin doesn’t touch porcelain; lay paper towels nearby; remove any personal items from the counter.
3. Initial wipe: wipe with toilet paper to remove bulk, flush.
4. Water temp: set faucet to lukewarm — not hot. Test with wrist.
5. Wash method A — hands+cup/splash: sit on the edge, lean forward slightly, use the cup/squeeze bottle or your hand cupped under the stream to direct water onto the anal crease until visibly cleaner. Use fingers only if comfortable; keep nails trimmed and gloved if desired.
6. Optional soap: if needed, apply a tiny amount of mild, unscented soap to a wet finger or soft washcloth and gently clean—avoid aggressive scrubbing.
7. Rinse: thoroughly rinse the area with plain lukewarm water until no residue remains.
8. Dry: pat dry with clean paper towels (frontback). Do not rub aggressively.
9. Dispose & launder: throw used paper towels in a sealed trash bag. Wash the towel you sat on separately.
10. Sanitize sink: spray/disinfect sink, faucet handles, and surrounding counter with household disinfectant; wipe and let air dry.
11. Hand hygiene: remove gloves (if used) and wash hands 20+ seconds with soap and water.
12. Consider upgrade: for regular use, install a cheap bidet attachment or handheld sprayer — safer, cleaner, and faster.
Micro-tips:
• Sit on a towel, not the bare porcelain.
• Use lukewarm water only — hot irritates skin; cold is uncomfortable.
• Prefer disposable wipes for the final dry check; avoid fragranced wipes if you’re sensitive.
• If irritation or a rash appears, stop and see a clinician.
