To think there’s no way you can wipe your bum clean?

[crazykoo124]

Born in a mixed race family with a Middle Eastern mother, I was always taught to wash my downstairs with water after no 1s and 2s. We have a built in mini shower head thing to just spray our bums clean, and before that we used to have a jug sort of thing.

I’ve always wondered, do you genuinely think your bum is clean if you only wipe?

The way I see it, if someone dropped a few drops of urine or fecal matter on my flooring at home, I’d scrub it clean and atleast use some water. No way would I give it a wipe clean with a dry wad of tissue! So how can your skin be clean….

Am I missing something? Do you wet the tissue before use?

Sorry for the silly question! Have always wondered.

@AngryApple

Isn’t it funny how animals don’t have this problem? Why do their buttholes not need cleaning? I know they lick them clean but not all animals do.

Is it funny? Don’t know about you, but there are lots of other gross things that humans avoid that are normal for animals. Seriously, that’s a low bar.

To those vigorously defending their fry wiping habits, it’s like the question hit a nerve. And those who find washing weird, you do realise that it’s the norm in large parts of the world, including parts of Europe. It’s ok to let go of unhygienic habits once you know better. Defending it just makes it weird.

After a poo I spray domestos onto loo roll, give it a good wipe around my bum. Then wet some toilet paper and rinse.
I then dry wipe. After this I bleach the toilet, bathroom floor. Bleach my hands and leave
🙄ffs

For the people that asked, I usually go in with the water to remove any residue if there is any. Then dry off with tissue again!

Definitely no “communal towel”

'Wipes' of any sort are absolutely polluting to the planet and big NO NOs!! They do not degrade and bloke the sewage systems!

Well, not quite true.

The ones that degrade, well, degrade!

The ones we use disintegrate in water.

Mauve people just don’t want to walk around with poo on their bodies?

Also Muslims pray 5 times a day and are required to be clean, basic principle of this is cleaning after using the toilet using water and or toilet paper.

It’s common in many cultures.

@sst1234 completely agree! Absolutely no disrespect as to each their own but some people have been quite defensive!

Personally I think there’s that washing with water (as you would do in the shower) is a bit more sanitary and that although you’re not going to eat off your bum, your body should always be as clean as possible. For those who say they like to shower after, I think this is very similar but rather you don’t need to wash your whole body!

@hotmeatymilk

You can get ones designed to be ok for flushing. Yikes, no. You can get ones that lie on the packet to make you feel better about lazily flushing them instead of considering your impact on the planet – “I flushed it, it’s gone off to magic elsewhere!” – but you can’t actually get wipes that are OK to flush. Wipes should be fucking banned.

Yes, you can these days. The wipes disintegrate in water, just like toilet paper. Have a go and see, it’s quite impressive as a science experiment for the kids!

Andrex Washlets are marketed on the basis of being fully biodegradable, I think? - although I obviously can't vouch for whether this is true.

A friend asked me recently what I would find off putting in man to the extent I wouldn’t date him and I had to be honest and say - anyone who comes from a culture where washing after being to the loo wasn’t the norm for them. I just could not and would not go there at all.

I always dry wipe then wet some loo paper until it's quite clean. Sometimes I use soap. Hate pooing outside my house as it's just a dry wipe

As long as I don’t get skid marks in my pants I consider myself clean.

your arse doesn't need to be antiseptic and if your shit is getting everywhere and you need to shower your whole arsecrack or use hoards of tissue every time then you ought to look at your diet because that's not normal or healthy

two or three squares of tissue should be plenty to wipe up any small amounts of residue with the final piece coming aware with no visible marks

@Chocolatewheatos

People soap their arseholes on the toilet?! God I'm such a grimey fucker. I must stink of shit.

I've always seen the hoses at international airports and imagined the horror show of shitty water splashing everywhere including up my bits and on my clothes. Or worse, a communal shit pipe touching mine.

communal shit pipe

I haven't RTFT but I use a bidet bottle. Environmentally friendly, portable and a little mini bum shower

@DoncasterHombre

I don't wipe at all. I just let the poo dry and cake up and then use a brush to sweep it off into a special cat litter tray that I keep on the kitchen floor.

Sometimes I have to go out to the garden and be assisted with a firm broom.

Well it's the British way isn't it?

Racist, arrogant, violent, stupid AND stinky.

The British LOVE to walk around stinking of urine and shit. We just use yards of paper to clean ourselves happy in the knowledge that we aren't properly germ free.

In the UK we suffer terribly from lots of horrible unclean type diseases that no where else in the world does.

Or do we?

@getsanta

He washes his bum over the edge of the bath!!

Oh that's gross. Does he was the bath afterwards?

Yes he does! 😁

But does he wash what he washed the bath with?

By the way, every home I've been to in southern Europe (where my in laws live) DOES have a communal towel for drying your bum after using the bidet. So they all share it. I did question this but they said it's not a problem as the towel dries clean bums only! My MIL said it was good for general health to have a clean bum...

@MysweetAudrina

I spray it with flash bathroom and a damp j cloth.

I immerse myself in a solution of Milton, vinegar and lighter fluid

So do you just always have one in your handbag? Or by portable do you mean you’d take it if you spent the night away from home, rather than taking it everywhere you go?

Well in the midst of a pandemic, we British had to be repeatedly told to wash our hands… almost implying it’s not the norm? I mean it went so far as to say how long to wash for and soap should be used

A communal bum towel! Oh those continentals. What if some poor unsuspecting visitor, unaware of the local bum washing norms, used it to dry their fizzog.

I use toilet wipes, the flushable kind, may I burn in hell.. but thats the only option for me, dry toilet roll leaves me very sore (yes, yes there is something wrong with me, I know, not a lot I can do about it).

I'd like to install a bidet spray, as it would appear old fashioned bidets with the jet of water are no longer legal in the UK (something to do with pooey water going back into the system!) - if anyone using a slim-line 'easy reach' sort of model would like to link me to what they have, I'd be most grateful!

Im also confused about how they are plumbed in, i can see some take just the cold from the cistern supply, but not sure i want mains pressure ice cold water up my bumbum...

No communal towels in this house and bum towels are just face clothes, a different colour for everyone.

Guest would only ever go to the guest loo or their own en-suite bathroom if they are staying with us and it’s obvious how you go about using the towels. No one need worry about sharing with anyone else.

It’s all really quite simple.
