Choosing a field shower: what factors are important
- The size of the active sponge. As a rule, this is a rectangle with sides of 15 (20) cm and 10 (15) cm. This size is quite enough to comfortably cleanse the body and wash comfortably, even in atypical conditions.
- Package contents: only a sponge or a branded towel made of soft fabric, which removes foam well and additionally creates the effect of lymphatic drainage massage. Traditionally, it is slightly larger than a sponge so that you can comfortably wipe your body.
- The composition of the detergent impregnation. As a rule, a disposable sponge is made of textile fibers with an admixture of natural sponge of plant origin, which quickly and actively fights against dirt on the outside of the epidermis. In addition, pay attention to the chemical composition of the impregnation. For example, propylene glycol helps to retain moisture, cocoamphodiacetate is responsible for the appearance of a thick and active foam, lauryl sulfate effectively but delicately fights impurities, methylisothiazolinone helps to disinfect the skin, providing additional protection against viruses. Citric acid in the composition gives a feeling of freshness.
You can also buy a disposable shower for different conditions. Thus, it is a popular solution to ensure the hygiene of defenders at the front, as well as for tourists who go on long trips by car, train, plane, or travel in the mountains, forests, coast and do not plan to stay in hotels or campsites. The sponge's active composition is essential for the hygiene of a patient who is constantly in bed, and the sponge's impregnation should provide not only cleaning, but also protection of injured areas and delicate care of problem areas, for example, where pressure sores, necrosis or inflammation may appear.
Please note that the packaging may be partially transparent or printed.
What else can a dry shower do?
Some types of cleansers have a normal or even low pH level, so they can be used even for cleaning intimate areas. Even with regular use, you won't feel dry, tight, or have redness or an invisible film that closes pores and disrupts the natural balance.
When choosing a suitable solution, pay attention to the reviews of those who have already tried and evaluated the product. They may emphasize how quickly and completely the skin is cleansed of dirt, whether there is a light scent that remains, whether a thick foam is created on the sponge, and other aspects that manifest themselves in direct use.
