Like some of the other girls have said, I used an empty Pump water bottle or one with a sports style pop up lid on it and would squirt salty water as I was weeing. Helped heaps.

Mine healed ok cept that occassionally when I am getting AF or in the first day of AF I feel a lot of pressure where the scar tissue must be. Its a horrid feeling. Hopefully you don't get that, she heals up nicely and you never notice it ever again!

For your roids...try some withhazel lotion on cotton wool, just soak the cotton wool then apply it to the horrible roids and it will give you some comfort and also shrink them back up within a few days. A girlfriend was told to do this by a midwife and it is the best thing I have ever done for the little gremlins!!!

best of luck!

Edited to add: Forgot to say that after showering I would stand with my legs wide apart and sweep the towel in front of me to generate a strong cool breeze that would dry the area off without having to go anywhere near it. Looks odd, but beats the alternative. Or I would use my hairdryer set on cool....but someone already said that yeah?
