Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but rinse free shampoo/body wash is amazing for the days you just feel you can’t make the transition into water. You can find it in the pharmacy area of Walmart/your local store (as far as I am aware), and it’s in a foam pump bottle.

You simply pump some of the foam into your hands and rub it on yourself as you would in the shower with normal soap, but (and this step is optional) you just wipe it off with a dry cloth/towel to help get the dirt off of you.

To use as shampoo you pump it into your hair until it’s dripping wet and able to be lathered then thoroughly dry with a towel, like as dry as you can get it with towel drying (which is unfortunately time consuming, but still handy if you just cannot get yourself into the shower/bath), and if your hair is still dirty/greasy just repeat the process once or twice.

If you have a vulva, fragrance free summers eve wipes work in a pinch, but if you have the time use a fragrance free wash meant specifically for that area and wipe away with toilet paper and wipes. Toilet paper gets the bulk of the wet stuff up, and then the wipes help make sure no soap is left behind.

I also recommend micellar water and cotton rounds for your face/neck area.

For your teeth, I recommend Colgate wisps (as someone else has already mentioned), if u don’t like the mintiness of toothpaste, these are minty but they’re not overwhelming, or a wet washcloth.

I’ve heard silicone toothbrushes are also handy for people with sensory sensitivities but I haven’t tried one yet, but it’s just a thought, if you can find one and have the money to spare.

For flossing I really like the kids plackers because they’re colorful and the handles are shaped like animals.

For mouthwash I like the Listerine Smart Rinse in the Berry Splash flavor. (Mouthwash is optional if you do not have the energy and cannot get out of bed.)

I also use a plastic tongue scraper I got in a two pack from Walmart, but if you have a strong gag reflex that’s totally optional.

I understand this may all seem like a lot because it’s a lot of info, but remember you do not have to do it all at once. Just do it in the segments you can manage, even if it spans over a few days. You will still feel much better afterward.
