My First Time Using A Bedpan

I once had a pretty major surgery and when I woke up, I had to use a bedpan. I recall waking up from anesthesia and being asked by a nurse how I felt. I told her I really needed to pee, and she asked me if I’d rather go to the bathroom or use a bedpan. I chose the bedpan option because I was so tired that I didn’t particularly feel like walking to the bathroom.

The nurse came back with the bedpan and told me to lift up my butt. I wasn’t wearing underwear or anything under the hospital gown, so it was easy since I didn’t have to worry about pulling anything down. She put the bedpan and absorbent pad under me and asked if it felt like it was positioned correctly so that it would catch my pee. I said yes and started to try to pee but couldn’t. The nurse said I might be pee shy so she left the room for a few minutes. When she came back in, I was in the middle of peeing. She asked how I was doing and I told her I was peeing right then. When I was done, she asked me to lift up again and she removed it from under me. She lifted up my gown and gave me a wipe. She asked if I was okay with wiping myself, and I said that I thought so. But I guess I was so tired that I didn’t know how to properly wipe myself because she got another wipe and started wiping me herself, which was honestly pretty nice. She gave me some hand sanitizer and covered me back up and that was that.

Anyone else have a similar experience? Truthfully I enjoyed it. I’ve always been very shy, modest and self conscious about my genitals but eventually it turned into a turn on for my genitals to be exposed. Have any other women gotten their genitals wiped by someone else, especially by a medical professional?

My first time with a bedpan was after my accident, when I had a finger bit off by a horse. When they got me up to the OR, I suddenly had to go. (I had been in the ER for 3 hours and had not gone since before I left home that morning) So they brought me a bed pan right on the OR table. I could not go, though I tried and tried.

My only experience with being wiped by a medical professional was last spring. I'd had minor gyn surgery which unexpectedly turned into a 2 day stay. I had urine retention and they had to catheterize me for a few hours. Then they made me drink ungodly amounts of water to try to get my bladder to work, under threat of the cath being put in for the night if it didn't. They wanted to measure my urine output so I had to pee into a cup type thing (looked like a cowboy hat upside down) placed under the toilet seat. My first pee after the catheter was out filled the cup. I didn't dare try to reach under me to wipe because I'd dip my hand in the urine. So, I half stood up and bent over and a nurse wiped me from behind. It was very embarrASSing.

Haha, I see what you did there! I’m so sorry to hear about your accident, hope you’re feeling better now! Sorry for relatively late response- I’m a newbie lol. Thanks for sharing!
