Let's talk butt burn and TUCKS pads!

(Those of you *****member me from my active days of posting know I'm not shy.) I'm here to say that Tucks pads are miraculous.  I just bought some for the first time because I had a serious case of butt burn during a recent trip (--> I hadn't eaten anything weird, but a change in routine sometimes throws me off, and I ended up on the toilet a lot, just ... expelling gas and, er, ahem, other stuff).  I might just as well have eaten extra hot chiles, if you follow me. So, never having bought any product of this nature, before or after my DS, I gave Tucks a try.  Wiped with toilet paper, then a "moist towelette" (Scott's makes them, I know, as do others), and then I tucked a thin little Tucks pad up against the afflicted area -- and left it there. OMG, virtually instant relief -- and this was after a couple of days of serious butt burn. I would SO do an ad for that product, I can't tell you. I'd blog about it, but even I have my limits.

HA HA HA Another soon to be DSer and I were just talking about this very thing. HA HA HA Friends don't let friends suffer Butt Burn. HA HA HA Cheers- Elizabeth

Yesssss, Tucks pads are great.  Not only do I use them for the occasional case of b-burn, but since the only chemical is Witch Hazel, I bought a bottle and put a bit in my bath water.  Might be good for a sitz bath as well.  Might be too much information, but if I notice I'm getting a little irritated, I it on my washcloth to was that area during my shower.  It helps a lot during my monthly cycle.  That's probably more than you wanted to know, but I love tucks pads and witch hazel.

Ladies, it might seem like TMI but I am glad to know it. I can get serious cases of butt burn without the DS so I can only imagine what pleasures await me after surgery!! Thanks for the information. Jo

I use witch hazel on cotton pads all the time--much cheaper if you buy them separately.

Yes'm, I'm a believer in the Tucks myself.  I also have to give a shout out for the tender soothing old reliable Prep-H ointment.  It works for me....

Butt burn has been my most painful post op problem.  It's such a small thing compared to what might have been and what has been for others.  It's still a real pain and I'm glad for relief!
