Finally got my button surge appointment in a few months :3

I got some questions for all of this:

I’ve been tasked by my surgeon to buy a dialator set, a vaginal douche (I think that’s it translated), water based lube and a good donut shaped pillow.

The lube and pillow I can see myself finding locally but where the hell so I get dialators and a douche from… Ideally I would want to avoid amazon. Do you have any EU based recommendations? Do pharmacies maybe even stock them???

Also from what I know, walking will suck. Is there anything to help? Like crutches?

I probably won’t respond but still thank you for all the advice you have :3

    The dilators my hospital provided me are Soul Source brand but I believe that they’re an American county. I imagine pharmacies, at least online ones, may stock vagnial douches as they are sometimes used by cis women too.

    Walking will be impossible for a week and difficult for weeks after. You shouldn’t need any specialised walking aid once you’re discharged, but someone to support you will go a long way.

    You will want to spend most of your time horizontal immediately after hospital, so a reclining sofa or entertainment setup in bed could be helpful.
