Written description:

UTI. Probably got it from a water park. Pain when peeing with blood. I went to the doctor to get antibiotics as it was hurting for a day with no improvements. It worked. For prevention, I would ensure proper methods of cleaning especially after pooping. Nothing much could be done if gotten from water park.

Oral description:

“The whole point is unstable [...]. And also like well, that's why most of it is like on one side. The wood and this and the wood part is all about the pain when peeing, so it's the base of everything [1]. That's where what hurts the most. So it's like sharp edges and stuff. This [foam] is for the bloody urine, so to not very explainable why I chose this but I was hoping for fluid texture or something like Play-doh so that we can change the texture [2]. So maybe possibly next time then for this [polyester] was about the foul smelling urine [3]. So it's same as she said, the sound was very like irritating, so it kind of… it's not something annoying, but it's just irritating to smell also. Yeah, so. That’s all.”
