I already tried the chilling the drink-all that did was make me colder then I already was and the straw trick which didnt work at all

Have you tried adding lemonade crystal light to the prep to help make it go down easier? I added 2 pitcher sleeves of the mix to the prep and it was just right.

When I had the gallon jug it came with a packet of lemonade flavoring. I was told to chill it to help make it taste better. That was a mistake because by the time I finished it, I was shivering.

The stuff I used was supposed to be lemonade flavored but adding the extra made it more palatable.

The flavoring ended up being one reason my mom always had such a hard time.
It used to be put it with Gatorade and then it switched to the flavoring packet and that's what made her end up throwing up because the taste was nasty.
She doesn't use anything to flavor it now and she says that makes it less disgusting.

3. Start the prep and keep warm. Use the wet wipes but don't flush them. Use Vaseline on the but to prevent chafing.

Why “don’t flush” the wet wipes?

Aren’t wet wipes flushable (Dude wipes or Cottonelle wet wipes)?

While technically flushable if you are using a lot they can clog your pipes.

Plumbers suggest not flushing any kind of wipes even if they say they are flushable they really aren't.
Also if you have a septic tank you really shouldn't.
