Heather Sheppard+FollowI'm going in for a colonoscopy in 2 hours, and the nurse from the clinic just called to politely ask me to arrive clean.You guys will appreciate this awkwardness. I have a colonoscopy coming up and you know that means a full prep day involving a whole lot of time in the bathroom. I was already stressed out about the procedure itself but then I got a call from the clinic nurse. She called just to politely remind me to wipe front to back and to thoroughly clean my butt area before I arrived. I was immediately so embarrassed and asked why on earth she had to call me for that. She said they have had a huge influx of people showing up unclean in the last few months so now they are making phone calls to remind people. I understand why they have to do it but that confirmation that people are seriously showing up unwiped for medical procedures is absolutely horrifying. I am glad I don't have that job. I took two showers just out of pure anxiety and shame after that call. #Hygiene #AwkwardMoments #Healthcare #TMI #Cleanliness #MedicalHorrorStories #Health 224284Share
Angela Meyer+FollowShaving Your Bikini Area Is Seriously the Worst Thing You Can Do For Your HygieneI swear I'm seeing so many articles and ads pushing people to go fully bare down there "for cleanliness," but the reality is the total opposite! Shaving creates a ton of tiny cuts and nicks, which are basically open doors for bacteria. Plus, you get all the irritation, the crazy amount of ingrown hairs, and you're removing the natural protective barrier (the hair itself!) that prevents friction and traps pathogens. It’s wild how much we’re conditioned to think "smooth" equals "clean." Has anyone else realized this and completely stopped using a razor? What did you switch to instead? #Hygiene #Shaving #BodyHair #BeautyStandards #Grooming #ShavingProblems #HairCare 99110Share
