    It is the quality that is most important. Swap over to all cotton underwear and clear, white and unscented toilet paper as well. Showers are the only option and use baby wipes for cleaning. You should aim to use the bathroom about once an hour at least. If it does not work in a few days, you really need to see the doctor.
