prologue
At the age of 14, I underwent circumcision surgery in Antalya, Turkey. Since my aunt lived in Antalya, we combined treatment with a vacation. After the surgery, my mother and I had to treat the wound with antiseptics (hydrogen peroxide and iodine) daily. To secure the bandage, we used a special construction made of medical tape and gauze. The construction looked like this:
The design is similar to a bandage, but it is longer. It is convenient to bathe in the shower, as it does not allow water to penetrate to the wound.
benefits

2. It simplifies genital hygiene.
3. It lowers the chance of certain conditions, like phimosis, balanitis, and penile cancer.
4. It may slightly reduce the risk of HIV and STIs
