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 😬

Not all vegetarians eat like that though - plenty live on pizza, chips, cheese sandwiches, eggs, veggie sausages rolls etc.

Vegans tend to be a bit better due to the lack of cheese, eggs and butter (so less pastry) but just being vegan doesn't guarantee an excellent diet.

We have reusable wipes (cheeky wipes).
I've had them stored waiting to get rid of now that the kids are out of nappies. But it got me thinking.
We use them for kids and babies.
Why not adults? We still use the face ones all the time, and they're so much better at cleaning than any kind of disposable wipes is.

I'd happily have a wet bag in the bathroom and just use reusable wipes and wash, just as I used to wash the dirty reusable nappies.

Maybe I'll do this at home!
I do use wet wipes occasionally as it helps when my haemorrhoids are playing up (sorry TMI 😂) but I do only ever use them at home - perfect solution!

I don’t have hang ups about hygiene. I just prefer to be fresh before being intimate.

It’s much cheaper to use a lotion.

Not at all. I prefer every bit of me to be shit-free but you crack on.

( With cack on your crack 🤣)

Not true - plenty of people just prefer to do the extra cleaning with wipes or Wype first, and then the shower for the perfect clean. It's not bidet or nothing.

I don't know any vegetarians who live on pizza and chips !

Consider a peri bottle or getting a bidet if you want a deeper clean.

Wipes can block your pipes or the sewers and should never be flushed. And IMHO binning wipes daily is just binning money when water will do the job.

Sex does not always happen in bed at bedtime between two people who have just showered and washed their nethers. You can't be that naive? These days as a married woman yes most of my sex is in the evening after a shower in bed but it certainly wasn't always the case

My vegan mother lives off toast. I genuinely worry sometimes for her health. Some days she'll have toast for breakfast, beans on toast for lunch and tinned tomatoes for dinner. She a perfectly good cook but finds cooking for one to be a pain.

What if the intimacy was spontaneous? Would you pause for a shower?

Eloquently put 😂😂

Wasn’t the case either, for me. Took me two minutes to freshen up with a wash cloth and some soap.
I tend to keep myself pretty clean, anyway.
Nothing worse than a pissy minge. 🤣

I wonder how humanity survived for so long?

I love a bidet or hose. Water is best. But sometimes toilet paper just has to do.

never wipes, unless you put them in a bin. You absolutely can’t flush, regardless of what the packaging says.

I tried baby lotion on loo roll having read about it on here. But on balance I prefer the Wype gel, it just feels cleaner to me. I have also used wet wipes in the past, but always bagged and binned, never flushed.

Yeah, it’s generally enough. At the end of the day, your asshole is between two bum cheeks and is kept beneath both underwear and outerwear. It isn’t going to come into contact with anything, so there’s not going to be any contamination or germ transfer (well, certainly shouldn’t). I haven’t yet come across anyone dropping trou and rubbing their chocolate starfish on door handles or dining tables.

Even if you use a bidet, unless you’re also thoroughly soaping up said asshole, you’re still not killing germs. Same with wet wipes (none of which are flushable by the way!)

As long as you keep your hands properly washed and clean, then you’re perfectly fine until your next shower.

You know if you need wipes or to wash your bum every time you poop, you'd be better off looking at your bowel health and getting some food fibre into you.

I agree. A high fibre diet means it's less solid/more mess while if you're constipated there's often nothing to wipe.

I'm prone to UTIs so always use wipes and bin them. Otherwise it's an instant UTI for me. When you see what comes off with wipes after using dry loo roll I could never go back to just using dry tissue.

Why

I agree there's no such thing as a flushable wipe.

I agree toilet paper doesn't get you clean.

I use bidets or sprays if available, but at home use cloth wipes which I previously used for my baby before they outgrew nappies. They get put in a mini wet bag and washed. They're really good. More grip than a wet wipe, none of the environmental hazards, and good when on your period too.

Wype is great. Easier and longer lasting than wipes too.

I buy them in bulk. They're pennies per day. I've already explained why I use them & I am fine with paying for the convenience over reusable cloths at this point of my recovery.

i am going to try the lotion on TP though. (None of the (medical, no rise required) skin cleaners worked as the TP just disintegrated.)

Ye old jug of water works well and has done for thousands of years. Jug of water next to the sink - put water in it - pour at the top of your bum crack - wipe with toilet paper or reusable cloth wipes if you want to go more eco.

No need for disposable wipes.

I’m going to get a bum gun connected to the loo when I get our bathroom re-done. Much better than a bidet.
