Sitz bath anyone tried one?

Never heard of a sitz bath...I'm away to google it

I googled and found this.
A Sitz bath is a shallow bath you sit in to cleanse the perineum and relieve pain and itching. It also helps reduce hemorrhoids and anal ...

You’ve ordered one, but now you want recommendations?

Hi Bea ,
I've wanted one for ages having tried an old one years ago .

They are absolutely brilliant for relieving all sorts of pain /infection in your nether regions !

I used salt in mine .

Now I see that you can order them on Amazon .

So I hope that it fixes your problem .
It certainly cured mine !

I've just googled it too, now I am worried about the sort of adverts that will pop up on my laptop!

Didn’t expect such a quick delivery ? my daughter ordered it on my behalf and then thought I should have asked for GNs experiences as had no clue about them.. watched a short video about set up and just had pretty cooling and refreshing experience.. the little flusher spray a bonus as not all sitz bad come with them … used only 1-2 lites of water so am feeling more positive about issues?

A heartfelt (well not exactly “heart”but you know where I mean !) thank you to whoever pointed me towards sitz baths. I won’t go into details, but suffice it to say the product designed for one condition if the derrière seemed to set up an inflammation - and excruciating itch- close thereto. A few sessions on the “throne” and I have been able to dispense with the “product” and the itch has disappeared.

I thought a sitz bath was a Japanese type bath in which you sit, water up to the neck! (DD has one which I can’t manage to get in/out of without installing a crane!) However after consulting Mr Google I now know what it is. My question is, is there a displacement of water once the derriere is in situ? I have visions of flooding the loo floor despite the apparent drainage holes in the ‘bath’. After tending to the problem area , it would be a disaster to then slip on a wet floor and break a hip ?. If you can allay my fears, I might be persuaded to invest in one

If you have a conventional bath why would you want one, I suppose if you only have a shower and have the space for a Sitz then why not.

There are little holes in the back so the displaced water runs into the loo. ?

Some of us have problems getting into and out of the bath, even from a seated position, but yes you are right. It would involve more water of course.

The modern word for sitz bath is bidet. I'd not like to be without one in my shower room.
