Caution: In all cases of rectal bleeding, consult a physician promptly. If irritation persists or increases, discontinue use and consult a physician immediately. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. Use as often as necessary.

How often can I use Balneol?

The great thing about Balneol lotion is that you can use it as often as necessary! If you're lucky, you only need Balneol once or twice a year, but for those with digestive issues, Balneol cleansing lotion can be very handy in the bathroom year-round.

Because it is non-medicated, you can use Balneol every time you use the bathroom.

  • First thing in the morning
  • For moisturizing between bathroom breaks
  • For soothing between bowel movements
  • To cleanse during bouts of diarrhea
  • At bedtime to ensure a comfortable, uninterrupted sleep

Balneol is for anyone, any time!

Balneol provides soothing relief to men and women, people with digestive issues, pregnant women, post-partum mothers, mature adults as well as kids.

How is Balneol different from soap?

Unlike soap, Balneol cleansing lotion does not require water. You apply it with toilet paper, but do not rinse it off.

Because of its moisturizing qualities, Balneol will not dry out your skin like soaps can. It actually deposits a soothing and protective coating on the affected area, helping irritated skin heal.

Do I need to wipe before applying Balneol?

No, you do not need to wipe away fecal matter or discharge before using Balneol lotion. That's what Balneol was designed to do!

To use: first squeeze out some Balneol lotion onto a clean piece of toilet paper. Next use the moistened toilet paper to wipe and clean the area.

Wiping with Balneol will be smooth and soothing, as it eliminates the tugging you may experience with dry toilet paper. After wiping it is unnecessary to rinse off with water, and no need to wipe away excessive lotion.

Why doesn't Balneol make wipes?

Many very satisfied customers have written to us with recommendations, including turning Balneol into wipes. We have researched creating Balneol lotion wipes, but discovered two major concerns:

  • In order to create Balneol wipes, the formula would have to be watered down. We do not want to alter integreity of the trusted Balneol formula.

  • Wipes often clog toilets are causing plumbing issues.

The great thing about using Balneol pocket-sized convenience lotion packets is that all you need is toilet paper! It's easy to use as little or as much as you need.
