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 confinement nanny said boiled water and washed too. Nah..i just used tap water. Not washing hands after toilet?? No way, the germs will be on the door knob and many other surfaces etc. I won't dare to touch my bb.
