Witch Hazel!

If you look at those cleaning pads they all contain Witch Hazel. It is so much cheaper to just buy some.

After using water, just put a little on the tissue and then you can even follow with a tiny bit of Vaseline if you want.

I've found this method to stop all irritation, hemorrhoid issues, burning, and basically everything. I'm a Witch Hazel lover now.

Hahahaha. When I read your title I thought it'd be funny if he is talking about witch hazel.

I tried that once we I had irritation. It burns like nobody's business! Maybe I used too much, haha. I was hopping around my room yelling all kinds of invective.

Yep...knew about this for 22 years after I gave birth to my son which gave me a monster hem! :) I used to use Cotten balls but I find that those flat circular face cleansing pads works better. Just put some witch hazel on the pad and apply. This also works great when prepping for a scope. I just use the pads with witch hazel instead of toilet paper.

Yep have some of those little pads myself. :)

Yes, me too, I love witch hazel. I haven't ever had it burn, just cool and ease pain. You can leave whatever you are using to apply it, in "the area" while finishing getting ready for the day. The longer the better. :)

I use witch hazel too. There is something about the smell I like. I use an old tucks jar to hold cotton makeup squares soaked in the stuff. I also keep a couple water bottles full of slightly soapy water next to the toilet to get some DIY bidet action.

I must have gotten a bad bottle or something. There's no way so many would be lauding the witch hazel I used.

It honestly burned more than rubbing alcohol on an open wound.

Levi it sounds like you had broken skin.

i also use witch hazel pads on hemmies if i have run out of my coloplast cream. the cream works way better for me. i just use the witch hazel after wiping my butt for the cooling effect.
