That's a good point.  Or are you familiar with the Diva Cup?

Is that like the little latex or silicone cup thingie that you fold in half and insert up in there almost like a diaphragm and it catches everything? Ug, yeah, my mother used to use those. Hers were called something else, though. And they were purple.

I have problems....er, putting fingers inside...myself. It freaks me out big time. I'm not sure why. I am an exterior-only kind of girl. And because of that, I seriously doubt I'd be able to get it positioned correctly and would likely make a giant mess of the whole situation.


...and now that we all have officially heard WAY too much information... Hehe...

Yes, it is.

You wouldn't like it, then.  For some reason, I'm surprised to read that you have a problem with that. Dunno why, but it surprises me.

 I have not. I'll have to check Trader Joe's and see if they carry those. Good call.

Using deodorant helps there & also under the belly fold where you get sweaty. The deodorant also kills those bacteria. My mother is a nurse & she has always told me to use deodorant, even with babies & they drool alot under their chins, deodorant helps with that too. It works.

 I had the same issue, I asked the physician that does the physicals at my surgeon's office, he suggested using Tinactin athletes foot powder. I gave it a shot and have been very happy with the results.

 Lol.... I have the same problem.. But because I have ginormous boobs... Gosh I can't imagine what it going to be like after surgery! :)

Anywho a trick I learned from my Grammy, neatly fold up some tissue and just put it under them.  Change mid day.  Also, baby powder is great.  I keep a little bottle in my purse.  

Good luck!
Just had my RNY on 7.2.12!!!!  WOOHOO!!!!!

 I have similar issues, especially in warm weather.  I recommend using corn starch.  IMO, it worked better than gold bond or other powders, and has no scent.
