How healthy using a shower toilet really is Advice from the doctor

Sensitive skin in the genital area 

In contrast to other areas of the body, skin in the genital area is extremely sensitive, with a network of thousands of nerve cells and numerous sebaceous glands. Healthy skin offers sufficient protection against external influences. However, it is also vulnerable – particularly in sensitive areas such as the genital area. The right cleaning is thus extremely important in order to minimise the impact on the natural protection capabilities of the skin.
