SKID MARKS: How To Wipe Your Butt (According to a Doctor)
Sharing buttons:
dr. Paul here I've got a silly one your
kid keeps getting skid marks in their
underwear so we're talking about they're
not wiping little streaks of poop in the
underwear parents who do laundry you're
probably familiar with this it's normal
but what can we do about it is this is
this something we need to worry about
come on be honest did you ever not
totally get things wiped up perfect or
maybe you wiped but then you know if
there's a little stool in the rectal
vault some of it kind of leaks past even
though you've wiped well and you've got
a little smears or you know dirty
underwear folks parents do not panic
about this this is completely normal
unless your child has Enco paresis which
is very large impacted stool of another
video on that take a look at that if
that's your situation but if we're
talking your child as normal bowel
movements but they just can't seem to
have clean underwear what can you do
about it well first of all don't panic
it's normal secondly maybe you should
show your kids and just be real
light-hearted about it how to wipe oh
here I'll show you so this is toilet
paper actually it's Kleenex but you get
your toilet paper you're done you wipe
well girls you're going to wipe front to
back so if you're sitting on the toilet
you push it to the back or if you're
reaching around you pull because you
don't want to get poop in the vagina
that can cause increased risk for
urinary tract infections boys you're a
little luckier front back whatever reach
around get yourself wiped off put it in
the toilet when you're done right
how about let's do it again so wipe wipe
in the toilet maybe a third time all
right and and you don't have to be rough
but you've got to be thorough you've got
it you've got to wipe your anus oh but
here's the anus
okay so we're going to just wipe right
one direction do it again
we're going to wipe the other direction
do it again wipe now a trick that I've
had to use and taught my children who
seem to all have trouble with this issue
because you know what if you haven't
wiped well now you've got sore bottoms
you've got rashes they're there one of
my kids could barely walk he couldn't
hardly go to work his bottom was so bad
he needed a barrier cream I taught them
get though if you're somewhere where you
can do this
just get your toilet paper get enough of
it wadded up and get it slightly damp
and then you wipe right with a damp
cloth now it's really clean get one more
dry one wipe gently now you're clean so
some of us I guess just have a harder
time getting our bottoms clean and one
way you know right less you've wiped
three four or five times and that take a
look oh it's totally clean
you're probably done if you're wet and
it's just major Brown there's more there
and either you need to just sit down and
finish having your bowel movement and
then try wiping again or you're just
going to have to wipe a little better a
little more carefully maybe try the wet
wipe idea for those kids who have a rash
because of you know it's just gotten
irritated you can use a barrier cream
any kind of diaper cream works great a
little tiny bit of Vaseline just wipe
off the excess nobody likes to walk
around with a sticky bet so smears are
okay sticky bucks blooper smears are
okay sticky buds not thanks for watching
I'm dr. Paul
