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 😬

thanks, got some- although it was a lrger tube so hopefully I'm not allergic or anything !

Same. Thanks forceps!

We also use this but I read the ingredients and it's basically aloe gel so I have been known to refill the bottles with that (bought from Holland & Barrett when they have offers on)

I agree. Always use my bidet. If you had poo on your hands you wouldn't just wipe out off with loo roll, you would give it a good wash

I don’t believe that; after a day at work etc? Numerous bathroom visits throughout the day?
Stale urine on your bits smells.
Plain and simple.

But it's not stale urine on you. Any residue that didn't go straight in the toilet is wiped off. Maybe it just does vary from person to person. I don't think anyone is coming on here and lying.

Oh gosh I used cheeky wipes and reusable nappies when my DC was BFing but I wouldn't use reusable wipes now and I wouldn't want a bin full of cloths with pee and poo on them in our bathroom and then to have to wash them.

Bidet / bum gum is so much cleaner!

But with a hose you're just spraying the dirty water into the toilet so where's the issue with that?

Yes some germs are unavoidable but why wouldn't we want to be cleaner if we can? As for being intimate, I wouldn't want to go down on my DH if his bits smell of pee, nor would I want him to do that with me if I've been for a pee or poo and not washed. It's just basic hygiene and consideration but some people don't seem to care.

This. Toilet paper absorbs any residue if you are using it correctly.

Because we are not designed to live as sterile robots. My partner and I are both able bodied with compatible levels of hygiene standards..frequency of showers, towels and bedding wash, etc. Neither of us smell at all. My kids and I have some of the most robust immune systems of anyone I know but they and their home weren't constantly being wiped and disinfected when they were little.

And the raw chicken analogy doesn’t work for a bidet either, one uses soap in a bidet, not just water randomly spraying bits. My bidet is super clean thank you, after washing we rinse it down as well as wash it at every bathroom clean.

This is exactly what I kept saying, and several people have shot me down in flames ffs!

As you say, just basic hygiene and consideration for your partner.

I can certainly “wallow in my own filth” at times 🤣 but there is NO WAY I’d let my husband near me unless I was box fresh, so to speak 🤣😉

God gave us cheeks for this very reason. Babboons and such don't have cheeks, but we do.

How clean do you need your arsehole to be OP?

Because unless you've planning on someone licking it you really don't need to worry.

You have at least 100 billion bacteria and other microbes living on your skin at any one time. It's completely natural and healthy you, are not meant to be sterile and never will be.

Keep in mind that there's no such thing as a truly empty bowel !

I don't think people are talking about chemicals...

It doesn't have to be cold water. Ours is plumbed into warm water.

They're just making excuses for not washing properly IMO 🙊

EXACTLY!
It’s not difficult to have a quick wash with a wash cloth and soap if you CBA to have a shower.

We might as well not bother washing at all, if bacteria etc is unavoidable 🤣

You can think that if you like. It's not true, but whatever .

I’ve got a foam spray that you spray onto loo roll. It makes it like a wet wipe and safely flushable.

Bacteria IS unavoidable though. You are teeming with bacteria and you'd probably be dead if you weren't!

I am very well aware of that! 🤦‍♀️
I just can’t see what the problem is with washing off the bacteria that IS avoidable.
I do not understand how people can be ok with having smelly arses.
Because if it’s not actually washed off in some fashion, then it smells.

To defeat the poo, you must become the poo. Sun Tzu !
