When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Bathing
Hi solet - I'm a shower person myself, so hopefully someone else might stop in to comment. I know Christine takes baths, because they have been featured in some of her videos (but in the context of detoxing, not how to actually to it in a prolapse-friendly way).
I just think it all comes down to posture. If you can sit up strongly and keep some lumbar curvature, you prolapse might be more inclined to stay put. Lounging in the bathtub is a similar body angle to lying around on the couch - lumbar curve is flattened and the angle is obtuse which takes away from pelvic organ support. If you are reclining in the bathtub, there might be something you can put behind your lower back for support, as you would do any time lumbar curvature is compromised.
That being said, there will always be times when we can't maintain WW posture. If it's bad for your prolapse you simply need to decide if it's something you still want to do. - Surviving

I have found bathing in epsom
I have found bathing in epsom salts and lavender to be one of my greatest comforts since finding prolapse. Now, I don't know if it's the salts or just the water doing it, but my prolapse goes way in, not out, when I'm in the tub. There is a great buoyancy feeling, like being in a pool. If I have had an especially bulgy day, I take the opportunity to give my uterus a nice shove inside. Early on in this work, I would do some jiggling with hands on the back of the tub, and then firebreathing before getting out, stand up in strong whole woman posture. Feels fabulous! So, those are some options also.
But, I agree with surviving, if yours worsens during a bath, just don't do it.

pH and bathing
Hi Solet
Well, from my perspective the “foaming bath” is a concern, unless the bubbles are 100% natural and on the acidic side. Also, “cleaning thoroughly” is a worry. The acidic vagina/vulva (which can only healthfully exist post-menopausally with the use of prebiotic raw honey), is a self-cleaning organism that does not do well with soaps and sprays.
I think the pH theory of health and disease hasn’t been properly worked out yet. We hear statements like “Alkalize or die!”, yet I find such viewpoints curious since a healthy vagina is acidic, a healthy bowel is slightly less acidic, and in my experience healthy skin is acidic as well.
At menopause my skin changed drastically, becoming much more alkaline, which set me up for common fungal infections, often referred to as “contact dermatitis.” All of that vanished once I started adding about a Tbs of citric acid to my bath to neutralize the chlorine. I use Epsom salts as well for its drawing-out qualities. I use natural soap to scrub my feet and that’s about it. The salty-acidic water does the rest. You have probably noticed that if you maintain a good diet, post-menopausally we have virtually no body odor.
Hope this helps,
Christine

Thanks to everyone for the above suggestions. I will try the Epsom salt in the bath. Whenever I have used it in the past, I find it doesn't really dissolve well. How much should I be using? Christine, I'm not sure about the citric acid. Do you use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar?

Citric acid
Powdered citric acid is readily available in any grocery or discount chain store that sells canning supplies. Or on-line (for a better price on larger quantities). - Surviving
