Cotton balls are another good alternative to toilet paper.

The gentlest way is just to take a nice warm shower :D

I wet kleenex and squeeze it on the area and then pat very lightly.

Hi
I had botox without meds and fr me it was no worse than anyother needle that I've ever had. I would not be scared to get another, only thing was tho, it did't give me any relief so i just went for the LIS. It's been 9 days since that and I am still in the same pain as before, so not sure what my answer is going to be. Hope your feeling better soon.

Gently with toilet paper and then shower off...
9 days are not much, what is the pain like? Fissure pain or from the LIS wound? Tight?
Don't give up sweetie :)
