Once the foreskin is retracted (usually after the LO starts playing with their penis), you would gently retract and wipe underneath. Usually by the time the foreskin is retracted they are old enough to start teaching self-care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-an-uncircumcised-penis#post-175055 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:58:05 +0000 chopsuey 175055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: what did he say that made you go "Haha?!"

I was imaging a mini penis with foreskin that went over the tip! Hahahha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-an-uncircumcised-penis#post-175025 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:37:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 175025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's SO so easy. There's really very little to it. I just wipe down all around it, wipe the top and underneath at the base. The only thing you can't do is pull back the skin at the front of the penis. Otherwise you wash everything else with a wipe.</p> <p>@chopsuey119: it hasn't for me. I don't see how it would be possible either. I mean honestly, it doesn't even look "weird" to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-an-uncircumcised-penis#post-175021 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:35:06 +0000 mrbee 175021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: That extra skin often takes time to retract! Until it does, you can just clean the outside... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-an-uncircumcised-penis#post-175020 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:33:18 +0000 chopsuey 175020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: did poopie ever get under the extra skin when he was an infant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-an-uncircumcised-penis#post-175018 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:31:49 +0000 mrbee 175018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wash it with soap for now. Once the foreskin retracts, you can teach your LO how to clean it himself (or clean it yourself if he's too young). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-an-uncircumcised-penis#post-175011 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:28:59 +0000 chopsuey 175011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a girl, but I would assume you would just pull down the extra skin and make sure it's clean underneath? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-an-uncircumcised-penis#post-174989 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:14:26 +0000 heffalump 174989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question! I don't know because I have a girl and if I did have a boy we'd circumsize for religious reasons.... but I never thought of what people do who don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-an-uncircumcised-penis#post-174987 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:11:51 +0000 Beyond2 174987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know the last time I posted about circumcision things got a bit intense. I don't want this post to be a debate at all, I'm just wondering how you take care of/ clean an uncircumcised penis? We're leaning towards not circumcising but I was wondering if you need to do anything special to keep from developing problems. Thanks! </p>
