Hello, are you about to birth a human being?

We need to get your butt prepared because the sh%t’s about to get real!

I’m Maria and I’m an occupational therapist. I've helped people in nursing homes, the hospital and community clean their bottoms easier after using the toilet.

I've also had personal experience with being pregnant and giving birth (see exhibit A). So I know what goes down in Toilet Town!

Today I partnered with BidetKing.com, the online leader in bidet seats, to talk about how bidet seats make it easier to clean your bottom during and after pregnancy.

Keep reading below or watch the video to learn all about it!

Common Pregnancy Symptoms

There are some not so fun symptoms that commonly happen during and after pregnancy.

First, there’s a lot more vaginal discharge. Because of this, you're going to want to take more showers. But let's face it: you're growing a human being and your energy to take showers is going to be really low.

Next, the most obvious pregnancy symptom, the belly. Your body constantly changes during and after pregnancy, which makes it uncomfortable for you to twist your back and wipe your butt.

The spine, joints, and organs practically get whiplashed by your baby's rapid growth and quick exit! Your pelvic floor may be weakened, which causes episodes of urinary incontinence.

They don't feel like happy little accidents!

Coming round the corner on the “Pregnancy Fun Track” is hemorrhoids. These butt bumps may make an appearance due to strain or pressure from constipation. Hemorrhoids may feel itchy, warm or painful once they appear.

Just the thing you want on top of all the other symptoms!

Lastly, after you give birth, your vagina and perineum may feel really sore. It may be difficult to gently and thoroughly clean your tuchus once you're taking care of a small human.

How bidet seats help clean your bottom during and after pregnancy

How do you simultaneously make sure you take great care of your butt and your baby? Use a bidet seat!

Bidet seats use water to gently and effectively clean your bottom after you go to the bathroom. They make you feel better about yourself because you're not going to be taking showers like you used to!

Let's take a look at the Alpha UX Bidet Seat to see how it works.

After you use the toilet, stay seated and use the remote control to aim the water spray and adjust the water intensity.

Choose the water temperature that feels best to you! Personally, I favored cool water during and after pregnancy. Cool water relieves soreness and symptoms from hemorrhoids.

Yes, girl, I got them too!

The Alpha UX Pearl bidet seat also has a user presetting option. With the touch of the button. Your preferred water intensity and pressure will instantly clean your bottom. This is really helpful if you want a quick vagina wash to feel fresh down there!

Bidet seats dry your bottom during and after pregnancy

You may be wondering “how do I keep my back from twisting when I dry my butt with toilet paper?”

The answer is: don't use toilet paper at all! The Alpha UX Pearl has an air drying function!

After you clean your butt with water, select the air drying function to thoroughly dry your bottom. It takes about 2 minutes, but this gives you the chance to sit back and relax. Let the bidet do the work for you!

Bidet seats keep your back injury free during and after pregnancy

It’s so easy to tweak your back after the baby comes out. Yours truly got a back injury while scooping dog food into a bowl!

Bidet seats that come with remote controls can reduce your risk of back injury. Here’s how: when you use a remote to clean and dry your bottom, your back remains still and in alignment. Your back won’t twist like it does while wiping with toilet paper.

I recommend installing the remote on the wall next to the toilet to keep it within reach. You should effortlessly pick up the remote while sitting on the toilet to keep your back safe.

Bidet seats make it easier to clean your bottom during and after pregnancy

Your takeaway should be this: bidet seats make it easier for you to take care of you!

Pregnancy, birth, and parenting are all so challenging. It's important to make sure your daily basic butt needs are met.
