Abstract: A hemorrhoid relief and anal hygiene device is provided including a pressure member for placement between opposing buttock surfaces in the natal cleft adjacent to the anus of the user. The pressure member has opposite side faces for each positioning against one of the opposing buttock surfaces of the user. Each of the side faces of the pressure member is substantially planar. Each of the side faces of the pressure member lie in substantially parallel planes. The pressure member has a perimeter wall that extends between the opposite side faces. The perimeter wall has a first section, a second section, and a third section. The first and second sections of the perimeter wall has inboard ends converging at a protruding crest adapted for partial insertion in the anus of the user. The first and second sections are concave for abutting opposite areas of the surface of the anus. The third section extends between outboard ends of the first and second sections.
