Bidets - A Game Changer for Post-Ostomy Care and Crohn's

This topic is about the benefits of using bidets, especially for those who have undergone an ostomy reversal or are dealing with perianal Crohn’s disease. The discussion highlights how bidets can significantly improve comfort and hygiene in these situations.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by individuals with similar experiences:

1. Many people have found that using a bidet or a handheld toilet sprayer greatly improves hygiene and reduces irritation and pain. They describe it as a "game changer" after having ostomy surgery or a reversal.

2. If your bathroom doesn't have space for a full bidet seat, a handheld sprayer can be a great alternative. Some people even travel with their sprayer because they find it so essential.

3. There is a general agreement that anyone who has had an ostomy reversal—or really anyone at all—could benefit from owning a bidet. It makes cleansing easier and gentler, which can be a big relief.
