About 50% of adults over the age of 50 suffer from problems in the anal area. Straining during bowel movements, a diet low in fiber, and pregnancy are some of the factors that increase the risk of problems in this sensitive area of the body. The symptoms significantly affect quality of life and are accompanied by discomfort, irritation, pain, itching, and swelling.
This is where Dr. Fischer's new product comes in – Procto Soft flushable wipes – extra thick and soft wipes for thorough cleaning, relief, and soothing of the delicate and sensitive anal area. According to the company, these are the only wipes that disintegrate and are suitable for flushing down the toilet.
The wipes are enriched with Witch Hazel extract, known for its astringent properties, and chamomile, known for its skin-soothing benefits. They are free of fragrance (which can cause irritation), parabens, SLS, and SLES. They are tested for sensitive skin, hypoallergenic, and also suitable for therapeutic compresses.
So we tried them. The cleaning feels more thorough than wiping with toilet paper. And with all the soothing ingredients added to the product – it's convincing to switch to Procto Soft wipes. Especially if you're over 50.
