Taking care of your butthole at Burning Man

This gem of a tip was found on a Burning Man theme camp organizers’ FB group and is shared with permission.

As a burner of 21 years, I want to give a good playa health hack for y’all. It’s about caring for your butthole. Cause many of our pink parts get a bit chafed in the dusty desert and our bungholes are no different. Especially since it’s almost impossible to use the porta potties without having the toilet paper be exposed to a lot of dust.

So unless you’re only wiping with your own TP (and still…playa dust gets on everything eventually), one of my favorite health tips is lubricating my butthole with a bit of good quality organic salve. Beeswax based, calendula butter, all the good hippie stuff is great for preventing tears, lesions, hemorrhoids, and other uncomfortable accoutrements from forming on one’s anus.

When waking up in the morning, rub a tad bit on your butthole for the day. Re-apply after pooping. Not only will it keep your bunghole nice and comfy, but it makes wiping a very quick, clean, and pleasantly slippery experience. So for you theme camp organizers, please tell your campers this trick.

A happy anus means a happy camper. Enjoy!

  • Related to this… I use an inflatable pillow to cushion my bike seat. Chaffing and sore tushies by the end of the week make even riding your bike no fun. Someone suggested an airplane neck pillow and tie it to your bike seat. Happy riding!
