Also, no soaps as tempting as that is with frequent BM’s and pouchitis. Soap is drying, irritating and disrupts the normal ph. Soap can exacerbate the problem with more pain and terrible itching.
Just use water and pat dry or use a blow dryer, if practical. No rubbing. A non irritating cleanser like Balneol can also be used. It’s meant for vaginal and rectal cleaning.
