to say 'no' to skid marks!

[cookieraymond]

Was having a conversation with some girl friends about potty training - we all have DS's approaching 3yrs - and I casually commented that when i met my DH I 'banned' skid marks as lazy behaviour and would be teaching my sons the same!

T'was said light heartly but I do mean it in the sense that I think it is lazy

But they both were quite suprised and acted as if to imply that they tollerate it quite often (from DH i can only assume, or themselves?!? Surely not?!?) and would not be actively stopping their son doing them (once they are old enough to know better obv.)

AIBU?? Surely it is just laziness and not a male (or female?!) necessity??

I am intrigued to know if I am in the minority!

Or a dodgy visitor that would get too friendly with the hose and put it in too far.....

I have had some right stinky workmen in my toilet, I could only imagine what they would do with a hose...

This thread reminds me of the time a Japanese tourist gave me a "portable toilet".

I'll try and link to it if I can...

I'd love to see the MN reaction!

This is more sophisticated than the one that was given to me. The one I had had a bag for number one and another bag for anything else... The tourist told me that I could seal it tightly to avoid it smelling

I never did get around to using it though...

Well good to see I am not the only one!

I swear my friends took the news in the sense that 'I' was being unreasonable expecting men to 'not' leave skidders - like it was just something men do, and cleaning them off every time was just something 'women' do!!!

i judge his mum for obviously letting his get away with it for YEARS!

I am ashamed to say DH would do them every day. And tbh HE thought I was BU for bringing the subject up, but when i started throwing away his Calvin's and leaving a packet of wet wipes in his work bag he soon got the message

I am happy to say he has seen the error of his ways in that he doesn't want to get told off any more but I am sure he still doesn't totally 'get it'. And i still have to remind him to clean the toilet after himself. but then I guess when you poo 3+ times a day the chances of leaving a trace somewhere are more likely. Boys just poo more than girls I guess.

I too hate toilet brushes....

How would you like it if he inspected your knickers for traces of anything?

YANBU Skiddies = poor cleaning. Disgusting.

'But I never wiped my bum ploperly',

heard this before?

"Someone else's shit on my bum. No ta."

Apparently faecal transplants - sometimes orally - are the latest magical cure for everything from Crohn's disease to C.Difficile. I guess you wouldn't be up for that then GOML?

YABU

NO it is not lazy wiping for everyone. For some there is a small skin tag that means some of the feces will come out after a period of the person moving about causing the skidmarks.

Doesnt meant that you are poor on hygene and a bidet would not change this unless you knew the exact moment this happened.

My point is that there can be medical reaasons for this so to claim it is just lazy is incorrect.

as for teaching your children to wipe well go for it but please remember this is not something all can change.

What about the three other secretions that could be on your knickers apart from shit?

melikalikimaka... that's what I was wondering about this post...

I am quite ashamed to say this, but I was cock-a-hoop when my DH confessed to me that his much worshipped ex gf (aka the one that got away) could never wipe her bottom properly and always had skiddy knickers.^

I can't help laughing at this post lyinwitchinthewardrobe!

Me too...

Why isn't there a proper 'laughing smiley'?

OK. About the Turkish hoses... (and I speak with authority here). First of all, they're not hoses, they're pipes. They're fitted at arse level at the back of the toilet bowl and you turn the water on by using a small tap beside the loo. You definitely DO NOT insert them up your bum. The water spurts onto your butt hole and you come away all clean and lovely. I'm a big fan of these.

I try not to look at the other pants going in the machine and no one is perfect, are they? If its really obvious I will have a little word with the offender!

I know a grin is not enough!

Love Bum Guns. They have them in all the loos in Malaysia and the Far/middle East.
They are just like a little shower head with a button on the side to start the flow of water. You don't stick them up ya harris! just direct the spray. No different from the guest who has the hotel room before you and takes the shower head from the wall to spray over your bits and pieces.
And they are a godsend to spray, (from a few inches distance of course) on your lady garden when you have the painters in.
Keeps you clean and fresh!

OK to all the people who "got" a bum hose
Do they not have to be plumbed in? Is that not a huge task?

I agree with GOML on this one - is there not usually pooey water all over the toilet seat?

oh and lol at taking your own soap dish into the loo - does that not seem a little mbarrassing?

Why is no one answering the drying question!?

There might be poo on the handle of the bum gun, no, I don't think I'll be going to maylasia any time soon.

that link says you use toilet paper

Aimsmum

BECAUSE we don't know!

Drip dry?

With regard to the drying issue... in Turkey loo roll is used AFTER use of arse pipe.

A thorough blast from the pipe removes all [cough] loose matter and then you buff yourself off with the Andrex (or Selpak as they use there!)
