Im sick of always being in pain having to put plasters on because it damages all clothing. My partner wants to be intimate but sometimes its hard because where they r its embarrassing 😔😢😩
Living with HS flares in sensitive areas is genuinely exhausting — the pain, the dressings, the worry about clothing... it's a lot to carry, and those feelings are completely valid. You are absolutely not alone in this.
Many myHSteam members share the same frustrations around intimacy. The pain, fear of leakage, scarring Show Full Answer
I’m answer to that question 🙋♀️ is Hidrawear for certain reason
1) they are available from the NHS
2) because they are actually the only dressings and clothing available for and designed for HS on the market
Best option is to Google it and you will see what they do
For example underwear for women and men
Tops for women and men
And other clothing is available
But I have them but I don’t get on with them because the dressings don’t stay in place it’s a bad design fault in that respect ✊ but you could find other ways around that bit
Aw hun I can relate to you🫂 I get them inside my bum cheeks so I understand the hesitation when it comes to intimacy. My partner is very supportive and reassures me a lot that it never bothers him and tells me I’m beautiful. But I do understand we may not feel that way in ourselves and sometimes just don’t want them “down there”. I’m a freak when it comes to having to being really clean before intimacy. I always have to shower and patch myself up beforehand if there is any flare I’m feeling more insecure about. You are not alone❤️ and it’s ok to say no, not today babe. Hope the flare up doesn’t last long for you x
