ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Istinja

Istinja is a way of cleaning your private parts after using the bathroom. Just like how we wash our hands after touching something dirty, istinja is done to make sure that we feel clean and fresh down there.

To do istinja, you need to use water and a clean cloth or tissue. You use this to wipe yourself clean and then wash with water.

It's important to do istinja after every time you use the toilet to make sure that you don't have any bacteria or germs on your private parts. Good hygiene keeps us healthy and safe!
