#self hygiene

[jazanatorr]

Sometimes my OCD is so weird. What do you mean I've had the hardest week in months, literally tweaking and losing my shit, just to find out the cure was cleaning my belly button. What the fuck. My body couldn't have just reminded me, it needed to kill me.

Anyways everything showers save lives, clean body clean psyche.

So does anyone else doesn't quite feel comfortable with being wet? I've read somewhere a long time ago that schizophrenics can... Not like water, but idek... I don't like being wet, wether it be in a pool, washing dishes, or sweating. I've also read in lots of places that lots of us struggle with self hygiene but not many people actually talk about it so I'll talk a little about it, even though I low key think I have talked about it before but my memory is a mess. I have mixed feelings about wether or not my hygiene routine is affected by my schizophrenia... I shower everyday. But I really really really feel irked about having to use the same sponge and bar soap that my parents use so I just.. I don't. I shower with water. Cause if I go out get me my own sponge and my own soap, I know they will find it problematic and won't leave me alone about it. I used to not shampoo either but my parents found out and started to aggressively criticize me and demand that I shampoo my hair every single day. Twice. Like, they found out because my mom decided to go find out about schizophrenia (which shouldn't be a bad thing) but then proceeded to use every symptom list as a list of things to control about me apparently. And soon after she found out that "struggling with self hygiene" was a thing, suddenly my hair was ugly and stinky unless I shampooed it obsessively. And like, I know a beautician. And I spent years reading about hair care. Shampooing it that much is Damaging. For a while I tried to shampoo it every once in a while and then pretend I was washing it daily, cause they would keep asking questions and wanting to smell my hair and like... I'm an adult. Why can't I be treated like one?? Additionally, my hair care routines still Existed when I wasn't shampooing it. When they started invading my hygiene routine I nearly lost interest in my hair, which already had took me more than a decade to finally not hate. So when they point to Not Shampooing or Not Using The Sponge as Proof That I'm Mentally Ill, it's kinda really annoying.... They will still be annoying about it sometimes but now they are focused on a different line of symptoms so I'm able to get away with shampooing it once a week or so, which made me a little happier about it. Anyway, hygiene isn't only showering so here's a little about the other things: - I wish I brushed my teeth more often but I can only manage to do it once a day, at night before going to my room... it just never really comes up in my brain somehow? Brushing at night has been a routine ever since I was a baby, so not doing it feels weird to me, but during the day, after eating, I'll rarely remember about it. Then sometimes, when I don't have the resources for it, my brain will randomly go "you should brush your teeth more often" - I Do Not Brush My Hair. It is very thick and very long but using a comb to detangle it makes it look awful 100% all the time. Before my parents interfered with my hair care, I'd spend a really long time brushing it with a soft brush to spread my scalp oils through my hair and also to get rid of most stray hairs that fell off but my dad started using it without asking and now I'll see his hairs on it and I just won't wanna touch it... I do plan on getting a new Boar Bristle Brush, maybe even a better one!!! And just... hiding it in my room... but right now I can't really afford one. My hair works just fine anyway. - Vagina Haver Talk Warning Here: water isn't the only wet thing I am uncomfortable with, so I am 100% of the time wearing pads cause, really, who can afford to change underwear every time their vaginas decide to spill some fluids ugh... idek cause I literally see No One talking about this... maybe no one even Has this problem with fluids... like, this is part of the reason why I don't like going in water, or wearing swimsuits cause I just.. um.. don't feel comfortable without wearing pads... anyway moving on - I am Aware that I also should clean my ears more often but the same thing that happens with brushing my teeth more happens here too... - Same for nail clipping. In Japan there's also a saying that says (huh) that you shouldn't clip your nails after dark and I kinda go by that rule, which doesn't quite help because I'll usually only realize I should probably clip my nails when it's already time for me to sleep - Shaving. Doesn't. Exist. I spent most of my life Hating my body hair and trying endless ways of getting rid of it, I have scars from that and honestly, shaving myself Never made me feel any better about myself, it was just Pain for the sake of appeasing other people so no thanks. I don't see you getting irked about affectionately petting your furry pets and I also don't see the middle aged ladies who think everyone should listen to them even think twice when they see men with their faces and bodies covered in hair and if you have a problem with Me having body hair?? Good job!! But guess what? It's none of your business and don't worry, my "disgusting hairy legs" won't ever want to walk me any near your disgusting hypocrite self. So yeah that's all I can think about regarding self hygiene and if you're comfortable with sharing about yours I'd be really glad to listen!!!

The different types of Bidets, and which one should you get?

When it comes to bidets, there are mainly two different types. The first being the handheld one and the other is the toilet seat fixed one. Below we will discuss the pros and cons of each type and see which one is better for you.

Also read: Why should you get a bidet?

The handheld bidet sprayer

This type of bidet is perhaps the most common one, probably due to it's ease of installation and lower price. It simply is a handheld sprayer with a long flexible hose that is usually hanged on the wall right next to the toilet or on the toilet itself. When done with your business you grab it and point it with the desired pressure to the right places.

Pros:

Lower Cost

Easier to install

Can be used for multiple other uses ( washing pet, floor, cleaning the toilet pan)

Doesn't change the shape of your toilet seat.

Cons:

Gets only one water source (so the water might be too cold if you live in cold places)

You will have to move your arm to grab it and point it to places.

The toilet seat fixed bidet

This type comes with one major advantage, and that being the ability to use both warm and cool water. And this makes it the perfect choice if you live in the colder parts of the country. It is usually installed under the seat and has a control unit from which you can choose the desired water temperature and pressure.

Pros

The ability to mix hot and cold water.

Has 3 settings : Posterior wash, Feminine wash and Nozzle cleaning

No need to move your arm to grab it.

Cons

More expensive.

Takes a bit more time to install

Changes the shape of your toilet seat.

Which one to get?

This is a matter of preference, Do you like to grab the sprayer in your hand and point it to the right places? or do you prefer to just stay still and push the button.

But keep in mind that if you live in colder regions it is better to have the ability to control the temperature.
