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 😬

Have you done the water bottle test on any of them?

I've always used baby lotion which is much cheaper.

How does baby lotion clean it though? 😬

Even flushable wipes have a small amount of plastic in them.

Teabags have plastic in the sealing glue.

I know someone who works in the paper industry who has been trying to develop a fully compostable wet wipe but its not yet possible because they tear too easily thus becoming useless when removed from the packet

I beg your pardon?
Just because I use soap differently, doesn’t mean that I’m argumentative.

For your information, I think the way you do it is really weird.
It’s a bit like pouring shampoo into your hands and lathering it up then putting it on your hair.

Why not just apply it directly?

Genuine question. I really don’t understand rubbing soapy hands on your body when you can rub the soap on yourself and apply a decent amount of pressure.

THANK YOU!
I’m astonished at some of the replies/comments I’ve had re using a bar of soap 🧼 🤣

NOPE.
I’m exceptionally clean.

You are leaving them for your grandchildren to deal with.

Perfect valid analogy.
I no more enjoy having shit on my arse than I would on my hand.

You go for it, though, by all means.

I don’t notice anyone in crisis.
The OP asked and people responded.

You are still not meant to flush them despite what they say!!! This is why drains are getting blocked, they do not break down like paper and are terrible for the environment.

I had my own bathroom. I agree it’s not nice to share such things with others

Good grief @Whydontyoujustfuckoff , are you just going to keep picking through every post finding something to quote and disagree with? Is this how you converse with people in real life?

Nope. But I’m aware that the smell develops and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
I prefer to feel clean.
What exactly is wrong with that?

Well, I rub the soap bar (admittedly in a string bag thingy) on my body, but I don't let dp do that because he's hairy and leaves hairs stuck all in it!

I don't think either one of us is cleaner than the other.

Am not averse to this, whether giving or receiving.
ONLY if both of us are clean and by that I mean a shower or a wash.

What’s wrong with wiping then dampening some toilet paper with water and wiping again ? Or using some neutral body lotion. Would love a bidet but no way am I using wipes

How dirty are people getting after using the toilet. If you are eating and drinking properly you shouldn’t actually need to use a lot of paper. If you are still very dirty then your colon hasn’t cleared properly, likely due to poor diet or not drinking enough water!!

Depending on fluid intake, I can go to the bathroom about 10 times a day.
That’s a lot of urine residue hanging around my nether regions. Yuk.

I can certainly live with it until I’m going to bed and then I’d have another shower (having had a shower in the morning) but there’s no way I’d want to get intimate with anyone without another shower or a thorough clean with a wash cloth and soap.

Yes I’d do the same

Fair enough.
I wouldn’t want it covered in hairs either 🤣

Good grief, yourself.
I am merely responding to people who have replied to me as I have only just seen the email notifications.

Didn’t realise that I needed your permission or guidance on how to respond on a public forum.

No it doesn’t. Just pour a small jug of water at top of bum crack. Wait a few seconds and then wipe dry with tissue. The same method works for fannys as well. I just have a jug next to the loo or if I’m out in public, I take a bottle of water into the loo with me.

Working in London with lots of different cultures, I’d often see females go to the loo and take a bottle of water into the cubicle to wash this way before wiping.

That article doesn't say anything about the "colon not having cleared properly", you just made that up.

It does if you read it.

Well their hands won't be dirty before using it because they're not wiping with toilet paper first so the bum gun is clean, and then of course you wash your hands afterwards anyway so I fail to see the issue. Bum guns have been standard in my country for a few decades so everyone knows how to use them without making a mess or touching them with dirty hands.
