Believe it or not, unless you feel the need "to go", you’re most likely ready to bottom. Of course, being able to relax is important when bottoming and if you’re afraid you’re not entirely clean, it may be difficult to do that. Going to the bathroom before bottoming, sticking to a good diet with a hefty dose of fiber, and using an isotonic douche (like Future Method) will all work together to get you ready. Remember: less is more when it comes to douching. We recommend doing the ’toy test’ before playing, which involves inserting a lubed-up toy (preferably one that mimics your partner’s length) and then pulling it out. If it comes out clean, you’re ready to bottom. If not, you may need to douche more or, don’t be afraid to tell your partner that you’d like to take a rain check. There’s no shame in not being ready.
