How to Clean an Uncircumsized Toddler

When you choose to keep your son intact, the uncircumcised penis will require specific care to maintain hygiene and health. With a toddler, begin the process of slowly showing and teaching him how to keep himself clean. When he is little, you will do this for him. Gradually, as he gets older, he will learn what to do so that he can perform his own personal hygiene.
