To not understand skidmarks (genuine question)

[neveradullmomentinparadise]

Seriously, is this a man thing (as it is in my household)? Surely one poos, then wipes until clean, using ridiculous toilet-blocking amounts enough paper to do the job properly. That's it. Am I missing something?

[VenusRising]

Bidet, or failing that a jug of water.
Do like the Romans do, get a ceramic scraper, or gomph stick, and wash the remains off with the water.
Or just use the minimum of paper, and wash any/ the rest off.

Hey presto sparkling ring piece.

Skid marks in the over 5s are unacceptable.
He should do his own laundry btw.

[HoratiaWinwood]

One word: shart.

[aimingtobeaperfectionist]

Am I the only person to have cleaned with a baby wipe bum wipe then had to use loads of toilet paper as my bum felt really wet and bleurgh?! Seemed to use a lot of wipes/loo roll for one poo...

[beeny]

Glad u were not shocked. Confused my youngest wont poo in nursery as they only have tissue so can cause problems.

[Pendipidy]

Imagine the pants of shitty arse man from Embarrassing Bodies!

aiming: I wipe afterwards with dry paper to dry it too!

beeny: It makes sense to me! I was a tad shocked later on when I was looking at travelling and discovered why, in India, a certain hand is insulting to offer to shake because it's the wiping hand, but I got over that quickly enough.

Pendipidy: I remember him! And he was too embarrassed to go to the doctor but would talk about it on national TV?!

[VisualiseAHorse]

This thread is awesome.

XH always had skid marks, maybe because his pants always went up his very highly muscled bum?

DP for 10 years and 2 x DSS, I don't see skid marks very often. Don't ask me about wee on loo seats though!

[FlouncingMintyy]

Adults in this household who have left skidmarks are forced to pre-soak and machine rinse the offending garments before they go in the general wash.

[GetOrf]

Dirty bastards.

[ComposHat]

yes the soggy arse after wet wipes is horrible.

I find a three ply better as the cheaper two ply stuff just smears the poo all over your ring.

[olgaga]

Buy him lots of black undies.

[BeaWheesht]

That man on embarrassing bodies - didn't he go to see dr Christian and there was nothing wrong with him, he just didn't wipe properly? And he wasn't mortified beyond belief even though he admitted he constantly stank of shite?????

I've never seen an actual skid mark when doing laundry and have been with dh 12 years. Ds has or had them occasionally but he's only just 6.

[HoHoHoNoYouDont]

Body heat can cause skids. If there is the slightest bit of poo just up there then body heat and sweat bring it out onto pants.

[aimingtobeaperfectionist]

I agree with PP, buy black pants. I've never seen a skid mark on DP pants, don't actually look- just shove in the machine. Don't want to know. My life would not be enhanced by seeing his poo on his pants.

[squeakytoy]

I wouldnt even notice if there were any marks in my husbands pants as I dont tend to inspect them as they get shoved into the washing machine...

[mummymeister]

my dh does all the household washing - clothes, washing up and dishwasher. these are his jobs so have no idea what his pants look like. mine obviously smell of roses even after a whole days wear.

[floweryblue]

oh no, it was meister floating under my nose

[BertieBotts]

It's the bum hair. Definitely.

[Passiveaggressivecakeeater]

I think it's just laziness personally.

[ZooAnimals]

'But u wouldnt dream of wiping any other area of ur body with just dry tissue'

What do you use to wipe your nose?!

[PowerPants]

Ooh mummymeister so does mine. Plus bin emptying.

I think it's laziness too. They just do a swift fly-by with a small bit of bog roll and think job done. Well, no. That will work with a clean break but not with the wallpaper paste style shit.

God I could write a dissertation on arse wiping.

[bootsycollins]

I use baby wipes then toilet roll to dry, sometimes I'm really rock and roll and wet wipe after a wee for a freshen up. Poo stained wipes then go into a nappy sack then the bin.

[ripsishere]

We've got a 'bum fun' (hose) here. DD uses it since her friend X told her it would ensure cleanliness. She always moans about having a wet bum after though.
My whole family are far too fragrant to make skiddydiddy's (we don't have a family name for DDs knickers, no not us).
A young man who lives in our flats was seen with those round the bottom of your arse pants which are fashionable and, the biggest, brownest skiddydiddy I've ever seen on his white underpants.
That was stomach turning. DD wanted to tell him. I wouldn't let her.
