ive been seeing a lot of shout outs to people who can't shower or clean or brush their teeth, which, good, but i also wanted to make a different, more specific type of post, so:
shout out to people who have to sacrifice certain hygiene practices (or what the general public considers clean/dirty) because of their disability
shout out to people who can't use wash cloths or alternatives
shout out to people who can't cut, trim, clean or file their nails
shout out to people who can only shower in hot water, causing outbursts of rashes, acne, etc
shout out to people who sweat or smell so much that deodorants/anti perspirants don't do anything for them, or who otherwise can't use them
shout out to people who can't use most soaps or shampoos
shout out to people who can't participate in skin care (lotions, face masks, etc)
shout out to people who can't shave and have issues with hygiene because of it (i.e, smelling worse or sweating more)
shout out to people who can't use menstrual products easily/at all
shout out to people who can't brush or comb their hair
shout out to people who can't brush their teeth, tongue, gums, etc
shout out to people who need a caregiver to help them shower, no matter how much help they need
shout out to people who have bladder or intestinal issues and therefore struggle with bodily fluids/being gassy/etc
shout out to people who have to clean parts of their body by “soap flow” because they can't reach to wash properly
(this also applies for any sort of struggling, not just “can't”!)
