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 😬

How many people obsessing over wipes have pets who never wipe their arse unless skidding across the carpet counts

This has to be the funniest thread in ages

Who wants fecal matter remaining on their body? Just feels ew to me

I wipe my cats' bums with kitty wipes.

Toilet roll on its own isn’t enough. I use a portable bidet or wet some loo roll before I go to the toilet.

“bidees (spelling)”

It’s bidet (French) so you know for next time 😁.

Toilet roll alone is just fine for me, and everyone I have ever lived with, keep wiping until there is no poo and have a shower every day.

Clean properly for what? If I'm displaying my arse to the public then I will have a shower first. For normal, everyday activities wiping with toilet paper is fine. My knickers aren't shit-stained when I take them off.

When I was in Penang for my honeymoon, we were at the rooftop bar having some drinks, went to the loo and the woman who used the toilet before me had soaked the entire room, toilet seat, floor with the hose. It was fucking ridiculous

Do you not wipe until it comes off clean? Seriously, it's not 'on you".

My pelvic health physio told me about a gel called Wype.
I also learnt that if you have haemorrhoids in pregnancy/ childbirth then they can become skin tags which make it trickier to clean.

They cause massive problems in our hospitals too...local to me they caused blockages that had sewage pouring down walls...wipes should NEVER be flushed...they are a costly menace ...they must quantifiably be adding to all our bills / NHS delays etc etc..

It's bidet. If you dint know how to spell a word it's easy to look up.

Flushing any wipes is bad.

You can put in the bin, don’t have time for a shower each time

Sorry I meant the shower you have daily not a shower each time

I was under the impression bum guns are against some kind of plumbing code in the uk, something to do with back flow contaminating drinking water?

It's more of an issue with the kids in our house...

Wouldn't you feel fresher if afterwards you opened a bottle of Crystal champagne just to make sure you had rinsed properly?

Clean your bum as you wish, and makes fell you clean.
I use what I have to use depending on the circumstances. Not everyone, need a bidet every time.

I do that (giving it a good shake) when it needs a jet wash. Prefer Dom Perignon though - it's a little gentler on the ring and not quite so ostentatious.

Also, the Cristal bottle is clear/colorless, so any backwash particles are visible when I serve up a glass to my MIL at breakfast.

A bidet isn't soap and water though is it ?

I agree about bidets. I used to live in Italy and still travel there quite often. Italians are completely obsessed with bidets and bum hygiene in general. Even the most basic bathroom has a bidet, and even the dingiest supermarket has a range of 'bum hygiene' products. But these days when I travel in Italy I tend to use the bidet for cleaning underwear rather than its intended purpose. I have used it for that but find it awkward and messy. Wet wipes every time. I usually dispose of them by putting them in a nappy bag and chucking them out with the general rubbish.

Even the ones that say you can flush you absolutely mustn’t !!

I agree also.

After the menopause you lose a lot of collagen, so everything becomes slacker and things droop and sag. Piles themselves also give off a fishy exudate, it’s not just the shape of them that traps poo.

Same!!

You can choose to use soap or not. I use soap. I want a clean 🍑

Does this anti-bog roll thread mean that the anti-bog roll brigade have now superseded the anti-bog brush brigade? 😉😃

Some on MN have had a bee in their bonnet about bog brushes for years. Is there now also a similar movement against bog roll/arse paper? 🤣
