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.

No one is asking you to be worries, it’s just a discussion on what people consider normal.

You said dry wiping wasn't 'sufficient', so obviously not just a discussion on what's considered normal.

What's it not 'sufficient' for?

Are we all nose blind but foreign visitors walk around wondering why we all smell like wee?

😂

@WiddlinDiddlin I use a bidet bottle (Amazon) or wype gel

Gosh we know who stinks from the posts above. As said before, you do you. Some of us have been taught differently and consider it cleaner to wash. I was asked to explain why so I have, not sure what else you want? Not fretting about others, clench tight so you don’t drop poo into your undies!

Pffft. You're all doing it wrong.
You need to give it a good drubbing with a loo brush dipped in domestos!

Yip…

Stop tantrumming.

No you don't, you've never met me 😂

Unless you're sniffing strangers arses while also quizzing them about their wiping habits, you haven't a clue what impact it makes on smell.

Cool, but you still haven't explained what it's not 'sufficient' for. Clearly not preventing illness.

I'd bet you're more likely to have poop particles splash using a shower head to blast it rather than a tissue.

Of course you are right.the cleanest bums are when washed with water.toiletpaper and wet wipes are both polluting the environment.I never undrstood the hoarding of loo paper in the beginning of pandemic.typical western neurosis!

I loved having a bidet in my previous house.

I prefer to wash after a poo and currently balance on one foot with my arse hanging over the sink which is better than nothing

I don't carry my bidet bottle around but I do take it with me if I'm away for the night or weekend. It gives a lovely clean. When I wipe it's just to dry, everything is washed away

Using water instead of toilet paper sounds disgusting to me and a recipe for UTIs. You’re just washing the poo down towards your urinary tract and vulva.

@CounsellorTroi it's actually advised for cystitis, know as bottle washing. You wash from the front back so the water drops down

I did wonder this when everyone was panic buying loo roll. Worst comes to worst and you don't have any you just take your trousers off and use the shower hose. You can definitely live without toilet roll in a pinch.

Wouldn’t the shower be easier/simpler than trying to get your bum in the sink..?

@CounsellorTroi washing is preferable when it comes to preventing cystitis.

Certain toilet paper is actually very bad for irritation and UTIs (like the ridiculous scented ones).

Who are all these freaky humanoid robots who poo only once a day at the exact same time

@CounsellorTroi.not if you know and been taught as a child how to wash your bum properly.

@OhPeeQueue

Which 'other part of your body'? confused Where are all these faeces ending up?

Obviously meant theoretically. If you got poo on your hands, would you wipe it with dry tissue? For example, carers May get poo on their arms when cleaning patients. You may get poo on your hands cleaning baby/toddler?

Of course no one would just wipe their hands with dry tissue after doing the things mentioned in the above post, whether they got poo on them or not.

That's because hands need to be cleaned properly for all the other tasks they carry out: eating, preparing food, touching surfaces that others will tough both in the home and outside.

Personally, I don't use my anus for any of those jobs.

It makes you wonder how the human race has managed to survive till now, particularly here in the UK with all our dirty arses.

I suspect it's because the anus is something that doesn't have to be surgically clean to be healthy but splashing a bit of water on it certainly isn't going to make it any cleaner that wiping it thoroughly.

Can't believe you all shit. Bloody disgusting habit.

So if we’re so unhygienic here, as other posters have pointed out, we must also be ill far more often than people living in, say, Southern Europe. Can anyone confirm?

And if we’re taking about hygiene, I’ve never had food poisoning in the UK. I have, however in Southern Europe. So perhaps some standards are higher, but others are lower?

This is why I wash, used to get cystitis all the time. Haven't had a single bout since reading Angela Kilmartin's book.

You can time my daily poo to almost the minute!

I love the idea of a bidet/ anus wash but what concerns me is the towel in the bathroom. Is it an anus towel? Please correct me if I'm being silly here but I don't want to share an arse towel.
