The Number One Question: How Do I Pee?
This is the most asked post-op question for a reason.
You do NOT want to take your faja on and off all day.
It is:
• exhausting
• time-consuming
• increases swelling
What Your Faja Is Designed For
Most BDY fajas feature an anatomical open crotch.
This allows you to use the restroom
without removing your garment.
👉🏼 Not sure if your fit is affecting this?

Your Options
✔️ The FUD (Female Urination Device)
Allows you to stand while peeing
• avoids squatting
• reduces strain on your core
That said…
They can get messy if not positioned perfectly.
✔️ The Real-Life Hack (The Cup Method)
This is what actually works best for many during recovery.
Use:
A red solo cup or any larger cup
Why This Works So Well:
• no sitting required
• no awkward positioning
• no splashing back on your faja
• fast and easy
How to Use It:
• hold the cup comfortably in place
• stay standing
• rinse and reuse
✔️ The Pee-Flap Hack
If you are not using a cup or FUD:
• pull the gusset wide to the sides
• tuck toilet paper into the edges
This helps:
• keep your garment clean
• prevent moisture buildup
