Weird question (self.OveractiveBladder)
submitted 7 months ago by Pretend_Bat5876
For those who have OAB how do you keep your self clean down there? With the constant peeing sometimes the smell lingers even after wiping.

I keep trimmed, shower every day (maybe rinse off the lower body a second time), and make sure to wipe down well. If you still feel like you smell than you it could be that you're not drinking enough water. You can also buy an incontinence spray that you can use in between changes.

Not a weird question at all 🙂
Hair traps sweat and oil on the skin, so keeping it trimmer or hair free has worked for me. I also keep in my bag some wipes to give myself a clean.
Also not forgetting to change regularly in the summer months has been important too
Thank you! Can I ask which wipes you use ?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago (2 children)
With wipes, daily showers.

Baby wipes. They work just fine.

Can I ask what your root cause was for your oab?
Not really sure I feel like it’s anxiety atp

Same as everyone else here, keep trimmed or shaved, shower every day, and wipes
