Page 14 | To be annoyed about Wet Wipes ban

JackiePlace · 2023-04-04T08:50:47+00:00

I have never put them down the toilet, but because too many stupid people do, I will no longer be able to clean my bum hole properly! And don't have a large bathroom so there's no space for a bidet, before anyone suggests it.

We don't have a bidet, we use a bum jug that we got from amazon.
You can also get a bum gun that you can self install onto the toilet water supply.
DH just uses a plastic bottle of water when he's at work.

Is a bum jug similar to a Willy beaker?

I had no idea so many people use wet wipes to wipe their bums. I’m rather horrified actually.

Me either. if they’re banned then good.

Instead you'd prefer all the chemicals from the wetwipes 'festering' around your vagina. You're wiping wrong anyway though if anything is going near your vagina.

I wish they'd ban them outright. I always used cloths and warm water when ds was a baby so much better than all those chemicals in wipes. Now we just use toilet roll, if you wipe correctly ie bum hole upwards then there's no problem.

I’d 100% prefer the chemicals from flushable wipes to actual shit.

Why bother with warm water with your baby? Why not just dry wipe with tissue, if it’s so adequate? Because obviously you know that’s not adequate and you don’t want your baby laying there with shit all over their bum.

I used cloth nappies on my twins if you must know, so save your sanctimony and holier than thou attitude.

Washing machines clean sweat, mud and spilled food, not actual shite, well not in my house anyway.

Oh and I use laundry cleanser too! I bet that will make you clutch your pearls in outrage and exasperation.

Yeah let's keep destroying the planet because people can't wipe their arse properly

Heard it all now

Quite.

OP: this doesn't need any extra room and it cleans very well. For the simpler versions, you don't even need a plumber or anything special to install it.

I don't own a washing machine and it's too expensive to use the launderette too often, so I use it maybe twice a month and hand wash anything that really needs it in between... But I'm not hand washing shitty cloth nappies. If I waited to use the launderette i'd have piles of them festering away... Where exactly ?

Back when I had mine in the 70s you'd probably use a liner which would deal with any solids and if not you'd just get rid of solids straight into loo, then you'd soak in a bucket of cold water and Napisan. Next morning you'd hand wash the nappies. I didn't have a washing machine so not much else you could do.

There is a big difference, baby shits in a nappy and then sits in it, most adults go to the loo, take any clothing out of the way before they sit down and the shit goes into the loo. Babies bums get lots messier that way.

Yep. Toilet paper is absolutely fine for a baby that uses the potty/ toilet. You only really need wet wipes when they poo in a nappy.

JenniferBooth · 04/04/2023 17:26

The pressure to care for the planet seems to be disproportionately falling to women. Reusable wipes for your baby or the disabled person you are caring for. Carers are more likely to be women. Oh and Mooncups.

We see you!!

JenniferBooth · 04/04/2023 17:30

So people are supposed to control how and what sort of shit comes out of their arse now. Reminds me of that American twat who told women that they could control when they ovulate

The eco warriors are as bullying and misogynistic as the Tories are

Anyone else find it funny when people with children berate others about their impact on the planet? 😆

@BadNomad Are you in the child free by choice club too as am i

And given you've been completely oblivious, it can't be that gross then can it.

Um yes, yes it can.

Perhaps they need taxing more to discourage use

If you read the s*n, you'll always be slightly shitty, no matter how many wipes you use.

This is the most correct post in the entire thread. 100% spot on.

I think most people had a washing machine in the 70s! Or access to a launderette.

It's the only way to be sure.

So many culturally insensitive comments here and lack of consideration for other people's needs.
I don't use wipes myself but other people's shit isn't my business.

I don’t understand how reusable products are for people with ‘lack of hygiene’.

Baby butt with wipe gets a semi dry plastic wipe smeared on bum.
Baby with flannel gets warm water with properly wet flannel, cleaned properly and then dried with dry flannel. Then cloths in hot 60 degree wash every few days and hung in the sun to dry.
Mine ‘never’ had baby butt rash. Or any urine infections which doctor said is very common in babies not wiped properly.

With reusable nappies and wipes, they are washed on hot with bio powder, hung up to dry, and you have nice clean nappies to reuse. Or you can use disposable where you have bins for 2-3 weeks festering with plastic wrapped shit in your house and garden. How can reusable be less hygienic?

The op is an adult wiping her own bum
