I’m relatively new to purging. Once I finish, I wash my hands, use a toilet bowl cleaning solution with bleach, wash my mouth out with water, and also use mouthwash (I don’t brush my teeth after because apparently it just rubbed the stomach acid on your teeth more).

I just purged like 15 mins ago and it was quite an explosive one and at one point I missed the toilet and vomit went down the outside of the toilet and also ONTO MY FOOT. Literally top 10 worst experiences EVER. I’ve done what I usually do after purging and also wiped the outside of the bowl and the floor with disinfectant and THROUGHLY washed my foot.

Any advice on clean up and dental care after purging? ESPECIALLY FOR THE SMELL! I don’t know if it’s just me but the smell lingers and is so gross. Thanks!

i take sometimes antiacids if my stomach isnt feeling well after. also good if you dont brush your teeth immediately after, it does cause more problems. my advice is drink water and maybe something to reduce acidity in your stomach, if you empty it out it prompts your stomach to produce more acid. you can put toilet paper beforehand in the toilet for noise reduction and to avoid toilet water splashback. also just dont wear nice clothes. you never know when vomit is just going toncome out explosively

Honestly if you are starting to purge regularly, I would go ahead and start drinking electrolytes after purging. As long as you're rising out your mouth at all you should be fine breath wise, but use witch hazel or some kind of soap to get the vomit off your face, not just water. If you can get yourself yourself to eat something that would be best you are correct
