A personal hygiene swab includes a handle and an absorbent material secured to the handle. The handle is elongated and has a first end and a second end. The absorbent material includes an open-cell foam and covers a first end of the handle. The second end of the handle extends from the absorbent material. Another personal hygiene swab includes an absorbent material having a central cavity defining an opening at one end of the absorbent material. The absorbent material is stretchable, and a diameter of the central cavity is configured to accept a finger of a user. Removing fluid from a bodily cavity includes inserting a swab through a bodily orifice and into the bodily cavity, rotating the swab in the bodily cavity to absorb fluid in the bodily cavity, and removing the swab from the bodily cavity through the bodily orifice.
