Heh. I finally understand why I never felt kithship with American ceremonies of deference to "the flag", which in retrospect was an icon for group identity.

IDEA: what if urethra wash thing, like an eye bath? Maybe put a convex rubber button on the opposite side, to swish the cleanser around.
I release this idea to anyone who agrees to make something accessible of it.
Fewer people needing antibiotics for otherwise preventable infections, the better for everyone.
Also, you know, less suffering overall and more health span, which means mOrE wOrKeRs for taxes n shit.

This but pre- and post-sex urethra bath for (mostly?) AFAB people to reduce UTIs, plastic waste, organ damage from medications, etc.
What kind of wash would be good? Just... saline solution at skin acidity?
I'm not sure if this is the same but here's one for if you have a dick and / or longer urethra. (That means the bacteria has to travel farther to reach your bladder, so UTIs are less likely.)
Good news!
I found a flexible set of eye cups to try my 'rinse urethral meatus / orifice pre and post sex with aim of reducing UTIs' idea.
You likely need 2, to use one before sex and the other after sex, esp if no energy to visit the bathroom.
What solution would be a good non-irritating cleanser? [Update: maybe just water tbh.]

To clarify, I do NOT mean douching.
Unless your doc tells you to, probably don't douche. (I am not a doctor, nor your doctor. I don't know your medical records, personal history, nor needs and preferences.)
So like, this really, REALLY depends on your exact genital / urinary anatomy here -- and I'm probably using the wrong words since I'm untrained too, which won't help.
But:
some people (not always women / and not all women) have a clitoral hood.
That's some skin (?) that sits over the.. head (?) of the clit, which is the super sensitive nub underneath / below.
And the urethra is ... different, but very near each other.
Unless fistula? a flesh wormhole that was not evolved to be there.
[I need to research that again cuz I only know it as a birth complication, or when certain enclosing tissues go weird.]
NOT A DOCTOR! If that wasn't bloody obvious. anyway NSFW graphic of pale person's vulva, labelled with anatomy terms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_reproductive_system#Vulva
I have been informed that my prototype clit / "fuck I wish we had better names for anything" bath design is based on suspect anatomy knowledge and is unlikely to work.
This assessment displeases me.
Also smegma is a thing? Like, regardless of your form factor, check and reduce that where you can.

Further health advisories in general:
Wipe from front to back. No, not everyone knows this! More people are born every day, and no one is born knowing everything. Also people forget.
"V to A = you're okay.
A to V = burns to pee."
This also means during sex, sexual intercourse, penetration, sex toys, recreational stimulation, etc.
Don't reuse butt stuff for muff stuff!
Also: if you experience vaginal dryness, that can increase your risk of thrush, BV, and UTIs. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaginal-dryness/

tbh, I want to start HRT to deepen my voice permanently. A few months in total to avoid other changes.
But it's like £115 or something? That's for 178 g.
At 1.25 g per pump, microdosing 1 pump per day,
178 grams / 1.25 grams per day = 142.4 days' worth. ("A".)
[142 days / 7 days per week = 20.286 weeks. ("B".)
20 weeks / (13/3) = 20 / 4.333 = 4.616, about 4.5 months. ("C".) ]
Daily price is £115 / 142 days = £0.81 or 81 pence per day. ("D".)
The monthly price is £0.81 * 30 days = £24.30 pcm. ("E".)
Is2g I meant to begpost / mutual aid but I just AutInfoDumped math at you.

uhhhh.... I will get bACK to u!
Want to check my math / maths? A. 178 / 1.25 = 142.4 is the assertion.
142.2 is 100% of 142.2, plus another 25% or one-quarter (like 25 cents compared to $1 or 25 p compared to £1).
25% or 1/4 of 100 is 25.
25% or 1/4 of 42.2 is about 10.
So 1.00 plus 25 plus 10 is 135, which is close to 142.4. I rounded down so this difference is in the right direction too.
Want to check my math / maths? B. 142 / 7 = 20.286 is the next assertion.
100 / 7 is between 100 / 6 and 100 / 8.
We can recall 100 / 4 is 100x larger than 1 / 4, which is 25% or one-quarter, like 25 cents or 25 pence.
Now we need to compare 100 / 8 with 100 / 4. If we halve (multiply by 0.5 or 50% or 1/2) 100 / 4, we get 100 / 8.
Since 100 / 4 is 25, and 100 / 8 is half of that, we can calc 100 / 8 as 12.5.
42 / 7 = 6, so now we add the pre-100 portion to the post-100 portion. 12.5 + 6 = 18.5 and 18.5 is close to 20.
Want to check my math / maths? C. "20 weeks / weeks per month = 4.616, around 4.5 months" is the third assertion.
Initially: how many weeks are in a month?
Over 4, 28 days, but not over 4.5, 31 days. Since 1 month has 28 (or 29) days and others have 30 or 31, we know the multiplier ("coefficient") is near 4.3 or 4.4 on average for the year. I think it's Gregorian or some shit, idk.
400% plus 1/3, or 33.3R%, is the same as 12/3 plus 1/3, making 13/3.
Without knowing the number of months, divide the number of weeks by this ... what was a factor but now denominator, so ignore the names.
20 weeks / (13/3) is the same as 20 * 3 / 13. This could be 60 / 13 or 20 / 0.230... giving the same answer, since in the order of operations (PEMDAS, BODMAS, etc) multiplication and division are equivalent.
anyway, 20 / 0.230... looks like 10 / 0.1 = 100. Feck. Okay, 60 / 13 is between 60 / 10 = 6 and 60 / 20 = 3.
It's also closer to 6, meaning larger than 4.5 (which is halfway between 3 and 6).
4.616 is larger than 4.5, so yay, I win. Unsure about the 20 / 0.230 bit so just ignore that I guess. Or mathemorticians can dissect the problems and roast me, idk.
Want to check my math / maths? D. "£115 / 142 days = £0.81 per day" is the next assertion.
For the lower bound or minimum, 115 is like 100 and 142 is like 150, so 100 / 150 is like 2/3 or 0.66R.
And for the upper bound or maximum, 115 is like 120 and 142 is like 140, so 120 / 140 is like 6 / 7 or 0.857.
The ceiling, 0.857, is much closer to the original numbers than the floor, 0.66R, so 115 / 142 should be closer to 0.857 than 0.66... which is what we got: 0.81.
Want to check my math / maths? E. "£0.81 * 30 days = £24.30 pcm" is the next assertion.
0.81 is like 0.80, so 0.8 * 30 is like 8 * 3, which is 24. And, obv, 24.00 is very close to 24.30.
Or you could do 0.75 * 32 = 24 if you know your 8 times tables.
Change each factor in the OPPOSITE direction, and ideally by a similar proportion.
e.g. 0.81 - 0.75 = 0.06 while 30 - 32 = -2.
Now, obv, negative two is farther from zero than 0.06 is from zero.
But -2 / 30 = -0.0667 or 6.6R% and 0.06 / 0.81 = 0.0741 or 7.41%.
So both proportions are quite similar, 6ish and 7 ish percent.
Fuck, I got the decimals going the wrong way first try. Never give up on your dreamy dreams, kids, folks, populace, and humanic beings! You, too, can fuck up math on the internet.
