How did u girls keep clean?

I feel mingin can i raise my arm enough to have a wash? i know im unable to have a shower we have a walk in shower and no bath i feel gross lol xx Is deodrant a no no? xx

Hi hush, i flannel washed from day one, my hubby did under my arms and my back until i was able to move a bit more. I also used deodrant from day one but the flannel washing was the best thing, especially when my back was itchy after wearing a bra all day

Thanks very much hun I feel so putrid i’ll get some help xx

Hey hush, I had shallow bubble baths and had assistance from my bf and sister to wash my hair. I also had aloe vera wet wipes to clean and cleanse the top part of my breasts, before applying cocoa butter. After one week when I had staples taken out I showered with dressings on and had hibiscrub (antibacterial soap for post-op patients) to wash with. I sterilsed my sponges every day too. And I completely cleaned my shower head before my op to get rid of any lerking bacteria. I’m 6 weeks post op now, I’ve healed really well and had no infections.xxx

Thats good to know thanks hun i hate bein unclean xx and it cant be good not a shower for a wk x

I used deoderant from day one too, but always applied it with my boobs covered up. xxx

Love this forum I am miss my deodrant heapz xx

I’ve bought face wipes to use everywhere, lol. And i bought Treseme foam shampoo – no shower needed. Going to get my fiance to help shower me aswell though coz I’m really not looking forward to feeling gross!!!

Oh, talc is a good one btw – it soaks up any grease (ew, lol) so can be used on ur hair and body. xxx

You lot are g8 thanks ladys Im goin to clean myself up because friends want to come and see them lol xx

Hi Michelle79

You certainly weren’t gonna allow infection in. I think I’ll be taking your advice on keeping clean. Do you have any photos hun. I’m still trying to decide on sizes and stuff. I have Mr Traynor on 19th April.

Cheers! xx

Hi Clare, I’ve just accepted you hun. I only have pics up to 21 days on here, I’m 6 weeks post op now and will be uploading more pics later. What size are you now and what sizes have Mr T offered you xxx

Hi Michelle i av added u hope u dnt mind,

i have mr T, on the 6th April, xx

Hi Michelle, I don’t see Mr T until Tuesday (I’ve done it all a bit back to front).

I’m having an uplift aswell as implants as I’m an empty 32D. Ideally I’d like to appear DD/E. Just want perky nice sized boobs.

You said GG to moi??!! Xx

Glad this was posted!!

I am flannel washing with anti bacterial soap and a brand new sponge. even my soap is new! i bought new pjs so that i can wash a pair every second day cos more than 24 hours in them and they are lifting! the day after my op when they took my drains out i lifted my arm and was like “jesus! i can smell my stinky pits from here!” the nurses just laughed and said i smelt lovely! bless them!

baby wipes are my best friend now. wipe my bits after ever wee/poop just to stay extra clean! sorry for mental images! lol xx

I havent had a number 2 since before my op shouid i be worried? lol xx

I took about 5 days till i went, and that was with using senakot form day 2.

In the end only think things started moving when i stopped taking pain killers on day 4 and had a curry day 5!

Phew ty hun i was gettin worried im kinda glad i havent been tbh the thought of the arm movements! xx

Hi tinkerbell I’ve added you xxx

Yeah I finally managed to have a wash n wipe today lol, day two. Hush dont worry bout nr 2, thats normal with anaesthetic! I am feeling better every hour, but boobs are very numb and swollen (also expected) how long til they start dropping and looking … errr… less shiny lol? x

It can take up to 6 weeks pbeebee, at the very most, but everyone is different. I’m 6 weeks post op from ba & uplift, my right still needs to settle a little bit more xxx

Ok cool, I know Im ultra early days still, so eager to get them to normal and also wanna get feeling back to my nipples and boobs haha CANT WAIT! x

phee,mine are less tight today how u feelin? i was so emotional yesterday lol xx

Yeah the tightness is going but theyre so numb its weird… u feeling better today? Its better for me everyday…sleeping is easier as well now! x

Hush, funny you say that about not showering for a week. I use to work at a pharmacy and the pharmacist said that it’s a fact that it is ideal to shower no more than once a week, as the natural oils on your skin help defend bad stuff like bacteria from getting sick. However, as today’s life, hyigene is important so it’s not a good idea. But showering no more than once a day is better in today’s lifestyle,, anymore and you stop the natural defence you have on your skin to stop you from getting sick.

Use baby wipes!.. If you don’t have a bath tub.. Get a bucket and fill it up with warm water, gently pet yourself with some water and rub some liquid soap all over your body and use a cup to pour the water over you gently to wash it off.. That should work better than baby wipes and you will fresh again as for you hair, go to the hairdressers and get a wash and blow-dry.. Pamper yourself xx

I am a hairdresser and i booked myself in for a wash and blow dry at work….and my boss removed my app cos they where too busy!! i was like ok…cheers. its sat and the ponytail i have in is from tuesday pre op!! feel rank!

dry shampoo is the answer fpr ur hair girls or go and have a blow dry in the hairdressers xxx

Dry shampoo.. Best stuff!

Bless you girls as always i appreciate the advice xx

hahah maxine ur comment made me, i worked in a hairdressers for years and the bosses are just typical tight arses hahahahahah, mine wud do that!!!! i wud of just gotten a junior to do it and told him to chill lmao xxxxx

I find dry shampoo still makes me feel minging but just tried Tresemme foam shampoo and it’s fab!
