Disposable cloths used to cleanse the sensitive skin
A Baby wipes pack (82 wipes) is provided for cleansing the labia or perineum skin.
You should wipe the area very gentle and never stretch or spread the labia for the first 3 months since the wound is very new and easily to get tear.
Water soluble vaginal lubrication
You must apply a plenty of vaginal lubrication at the vaginal opening and tip of dilator for every time of dilation.
Lack or inadequate lubrication will cause the damage of skin graft inside vagina or wound healing problem around vaginal opening.
Donut Cushion
A soft donut pillow will help to displace the pressure of sitting away from the site of SRS surgery.
Even though it can be washed, we recommend you use the blue pad put on top while sitting without clothes in your room.

The first douche will be introduced by Dr.Chettawut at the time of follow up (around 18-20 days after sex change operation).
You are allowed to start douche by yourself when you’re back home. It is recommended to use only 1-2 times a week by using the 50cc of tap water (approximately half of glass) with 5 drops of Betadine solution.
A pack of Blue pad (Under-buttock bed sheet)
During the first 3 weeks after sex change surgery, the postoperative SRS patients should not wear underwear or pant while lying on the bed to avoid dampness.
