An anal plug ( anal tampon or anal insert) is a medical device that is often used to treat fecal incontinence by blocking involuntary loss of fecal material.[1] [2] They vary in design and composition, but they are typically single-use intra-anal disposable devices made out of soft materials for containing fecal material.[2] The idea of anal insert for fecal incontinence first evaluated in a study of 10 participants with three different designs of consul anal inserts. Anal plugs may be beneficial to certain risk groups including, but not limited to, frail older people, women following childbirth, people with neurological or spinal disease, severe cognitive impairment, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and so on.

Vaginal Inserts:

The Eclipse System Vaginal Insert is a silicone coated stainless steel base and pressure regulated pump. There is a dual layer balloon on the posterior side of it to provide reversible occlusion of the rectum and help with bowel movement for the user. The inflated balloon places pressure on the rectum, which keeps the stools from passing. During the evacuation of faeces, the insert get deflated instead of removed. In addition, the device should be removed for cleaning once a week, and prior to any sexual activity.

Anal Hygiene
Anal cleansing is the practice of proper sanitization and maintaining healthy anal hygiene in a person’s rectal area. It is usually done post defecation. From a science perspective, it helps prevent pathogen exposure, which could lead to infections or diseases. The cleansing process involves rinsing the rectal cavity with water and usually wiping the area with toilet paper or baby wipes. Sometimes, a hand is used for rubbing the area while rinsing it with water. Other times, a bidet system could be used instead.

Reasons to maintain anal hygiene:

Maintaining good anal hygiene contributes to an individual overall health. Some of the key benefits include:


 * 1) It helps prevent infections - maintaining anal hygiene reduces the risk of fungal infections and other bacteria entering the anal area, and eventually entering the whole body.
 * 2) Prevent UTI’s - urinary tract infection is a urinary infection in any part of the urinary system. By ensuring proper wiping and good anal hygiene, the risk of bacteria spreading from the anal area to the urinary tract will be reduced.
 * 3) Prevent anal fissures - anal fissures are very small tears around the anus. This could be very uncomfortable and painful to an individual. Assuring proper hygiene of the anal area will help reduce the chance of fissures.
 * 4) Minimize odor; unpleasant smell - Having a regular cleansing routine of the anal area will help regulate odor with fecal matter.
 * 5) Assisting in sexual health and products - Anal hygiene is very important for individuals that are sexually active, as well as for those using anal products. It helps reduce the risk of a sexual transmitted infections (STIs), and maintain comfort during activities.
