To think loo roll is not enough

[Makinglasagnatakesages]

Not the nicest subject in the world -sorry!

I live abroad and bathrooms have bidees (spelling) I don’t use these, but always use wet toilet wipes which are said to be easily disposable here and not harmful to the environment
Since doing this it makes me think how normal loo roll paper is pretty gross and just can’t possibly get you properly clean 😬

This thread is mad!
Do you all have some kind of digestive problem that results in a mess after a BM? I can only remember that happening when I've had an upset stomach. Otherwise the paper comes away clean.

I put mine through the car wash after their morning walk and poo.

Wype is ace. We are also converts.

If you got in on your hand, would you just wipe of off or wash your hand?
It IS on you.

Im.not sure what's in wet wipes. I wouldnt want to wipe my arse with one. Especially not a perfumed one.

If you got shit on your hand, you’d wash using soap. Even if you wiped it with tissue until you couldn’t see any brown any more.

I’m not wildly precious or concerned about it, but we do use Wype gel after thinking about it like this. I don’t take it out with me or freak out if we’ve run out, but…

If you got shit on your hand, you’d wash using soap. Even if you wiped it with tissue until you couldn’t see any brown any more.

Because your hands are constantly touching your mouth, being used to prepare food, for feeding yourself etc. I don't know about you, but I don't use my bum to make dinner, nor do I touch it or lick it.

Urine, sweat, bodily secretions start to smell after a while. It’s not rocket science.
Jeez, there must be some right stinking people around.
Ask yourself this; would you want to get “up close and personal” with someone after a day of several bathroom visits?
I certainly wouldn’t.

Can we stop with the "If you got shit on your hand" nonsense?

Hands and anuses are different body parts, with different functions, and different exposure in public.

If you're a rather unique person who uses your anus to open doors, eat with, and greet people then by all means apply the same standard as you would to hands. Until then, it's an irrelevant nonsense.

Toilet paper is fine. Bidets are great. But a significant proportion of the world uses just toilet roll and last I checked the world didn't stink of shit, nor are half the population perishing from arse-based disease, so I think it's safe to say that toilet roll is doing the job just fine and we don't need to have a crisis over it.

I have one of those bottle bidets. I couldn't do without it now (due to a prolapsed arse from having 4 kids)

If you toilet is next to the washbasin, why not moisten some toilet paper under the tap, clean yourself with it, then flush it. That's what I do. No nasty chemicals in delicate areas.
wipes are not environmentally friendly.

I wondered if this was any good.

Maybe you are exceptionally stinky?

I have done this, many times? When I was single and dating we’d often meet from work, when presumably we’d both been using the bathroom through the day and not showered in between, and the dates would often end in sex. Very normal I’d say.

By the end of the day, it smells.
I don’t enjoy this feeling.

There is NO such thing as a flushable wipe.

they get away with calling them 'flushable' because labeling laws are ridiculous. They all cause fat bergs/ blockages.

Please stop flushing anything that's not

pee
poo
paper (only toilet paper)

if you use wipes put them in the bin.

I think you do. It washes it off. Like when your wash dirty dishes you don't just use a dry scrub. You have water

I use cloth wipes. I used them with cloth nappies for my kid.

Agree, I use this.
I am wondering about installing a bidet in new bathroom though I have never used one and I am not sure how ! I have used the little hose washers next to loos though, that you get in SE Asia and parts of Italy.

💜It's just a lovely clean feeling and you walk amongst others who are exactly the same.
Japan's detail to cleanliness is actually a really nice environment to eat out at a restaurant/ get take-away etc. Overall I feel very safe as far as food poisoning goes. I can't say the same about some countries I have to visit.

He's right - there isn't. Only companies who get away with calling them that due to the ridiculous labelling rules.

Sorry, but there’s no way I’d have sex with someone after a long day and umpteen bathroom visits.
I’d feel distinctly unclean and uncomfortable and I wouldn’t be able to relax.
Would you give/receive oral sex with someone in this scenario? I wouldn’t go near anyone’s nether regions unless they were freshly clean.

Yes sex would often include oral sex. Never once encountered a stinky genital.

Well there's always:

though don't flush!

Brilliant idea - save money on newspapers too!
