Confinement Woes

Hi mummy, as Chinese tradition we can't use tap water to shower for some Chinese confinement practise. I use with tap water in my first pregnancy to brush my teeth and wash my face and end up having arthritis only on my fingers. May i know how do u wash your hands after goin to the toilet? Using plain tap water? Sanitise your hand instead of washing? Prepare a boiled warm water flask in toilet just for washing hands?

My mum said can try to use boiled water that is cooled cos it is not as cold as tap water..so,during my confinement,she prep some boiled water tat is cooled in a bucket and I will just use a small container to scoop the water out to wash my hand..need to watch out for mosquito breeding though,so can try to change the water regularly..
