'Tis a very civilised thing to have a bidet with a "shower-from-below" - makes perineal hygiene so much easier.
I ban "Sitz baths" for my patients - sitting in a dirty soup, disgusting!
Best thing a tap-water shower (running-water to wash debris away) and plain ordinary soap (L*x or Palm*live). A smudge of plain zinc-oxide ointment after stops things sticking and soothes. No need for gloves and all that folderol.
Wound care is actually simple, but big Pharma make it sound terribly difficult.
Rarely any need for their complicated and expensive offerings.
"If you can keep a baby's bum clean then you can look after a wound" is what I tell my patients.
