HOW TO USEA plastic sitz bath kit fits over the toilet. Rinse the bath kit with clean water before using it. Then, add very warm — but not hot — water along with any medications or solutions as recommended
- Place the sitz bath into the open toilet.
- Test it by trying to move it from side to side to ensure it will stay in place and won’t shift.
- You can pour warm water in before you sit down, or you can use the plastic bag and tubing to fill the tub with water after you’ve sat down. The water should be deep enough so that it covers your perineum.
- Soak for 15 to 20 minutes. If you used the plastic bag, you can add warm water as the original water cools. Most sitz baths have a vent that prevents water from overflowing. The water conveniently overflows into the toilet and can be flushed.
- When you’re finished, stand up and pat the area dry with a clean cotton towel. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the area when you do this.
- Get the sitz bath ready for its next use by cleaning it thoroughly.
Although there are no guidelines for when to replace your sitz bath, always check it for signs of cracking or weakened areas before and after use.
