For those who do not have a standard bathtub, this makes sitz baths possible. For those who do, it provides the kind of comfort and convenience your traditional bathtub may not offer.
How Does A Sitz Bath For Toilet Work?
A toilet sitz bath provides a simple and accessible way to experience the benefits of a sitz bath, and it can be conveniently used with any standard toilet. In this guide, we'll break down the process into easy-to-follow steps, from setup to clean-up.
Installation And Setup
The sitz bath is designed like a small basin with a hole located in the back, and it's attached to the back of the toilet. This positioning allows the basin to sit comfortably in the upper part of the toilet bowl. To set it up, follow these steps:
- Attach to the toilet: Secure the sitz bath to the back of the toilet.
- Fill with warm water: Once attached, fill the bath with warm clean water, ensuring it's neither too hot nor too cool.
Taking A Sitz Bath
Sit on the toilet with your bottom area submerged in the sitz bath water. This provides a comfortable, accessible, and safe alternative to a standard bathtub. The recommended soak time is around 20 minutes, allowing for optimal benefits without prolonged exposure.
Ensure the water temperature is suitable for complete comfort and relaxation. Consider adding our Sitz Bath Soak at Better Bath Better Body to enhance the experience.
Post-Soak Cleanup
After completing the sitz bath, follow these steps for a seamless cleanup:
- Rise slowly: Because of potential deep relaxation, rise from the bath slowly.
- Pat dry: Pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel to avoid irritation.
- Drain water: Utilize the small hole in the back for draining water directly into the toilet bowl.
- Flush and clean: Flush the water, and the sitz bath is ready for cleaning.
Sitz Bath Maintenance
Maintaining your sitz bath is straightforward and ensures its longevity for future use. Wash the sitz bath with gentle soapy water. Dry it with a clean towel then store it under a sink or in a bathroom closet, often accompanied by a storage bag for convenience and discretion.
With this detailed guide, you can seamlessly incorporate a toilet sitz bath into your routine for a soothing and relaxing experience.
How To Turn Your Sitz Bath Into A Home Spa Experience
Sitz baths offer more than just relief from hemorrhoid discomfort. They provide a soothing and relaxing experience, creating an opportunity for self-care within the comfort of your home.

A Better Sitz Bath Experience
