Sitz bath shorts/briefs Can be Worn When seated on basin or just standing
We have already reviewed the best sitz bath shower chairs selling on amazon. One of the major concerns we got from our readers was that there is that number that do not want to necessarily sit and so they want another solution. Say for example that you have just had a back surgery and so bending or even sitting on the toilet seat is a tall order. Can there be a way that you can still take a sitz bath. Well, yes. With a pair of sitz bath shorts, you will be able to do so.
The sitz bath shorts are designed such that they are able to retain water so that the warm water can soothe you whether you are in a standing position or are seated on your toilet seat. A sitz bath is great when you have hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal irritation or have just had an injury on your perineum and the doctor has advised that the warm water treatment for 10-15 minutes, 2 times a day would do you good. Post partum mothers who have just had an episiotomy are also advised to take a sitz bath to relieve them off the pain.
