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 😬

Do you realise that fecal matter is IN you RIGHT NOW? And some weirdos on this thread will insist they can smell it 😆

There is no such thing as a flushable wet wipe - if you use them, put them in a bin.

Agreed, miss the bidets and bum guns of abroad.

Tempted to by a bodna but not sure how to maneuver it exactly so use wipes for now.

I’m not sure what you mean? I didn’t mention a bidet?
I did used to have a bidet, two in fact. And you’re supposed to use them with soap and water.

I’m honestly not sure what point you’re trying to make and I don’t mean to sound rude btw.

We had them when living in Spain. I do miss them . They should be a standard part of bathroom suites.

So everyone has their own bum towel hanging up?

Ha ha!! I still have a brush in each loo!! The good old fashioned spiky ones. The silicone ones just don’t work.

I do keep it clean though - promise! 😂

Ewww. And they would need individual travel bum towels too 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just wanted to say that back in the bad old days people would use newspaper squares as loo roll. No one died or was harmed by stray faecal matter that I know of.

I am seriously perplexed by the zoning in on this.

Just wipe your bottom with whatever you can. Don't put wet wipes down the loo though, they are a disgusting product in terms of the environment and the damage they cause.

I've heard many a horror story about house or hotel guests in Italy using the bum towel as a face cloth!😬

A nice feeling of cleanliness? Same reason why I like to wash urine etc away from my nether regions.
Otherwise it starts to build it and SMELL.

Are there really people who still believe the flushable wipes myth? These companies should be heavily fined.

It doesn't SMELL if you shower and change your underwear daily.

I too fell for the hype of Wype gel and I really like it!

This is not the first thread on this topic. It seems to generate much debate.

I suspect what is needed all has a lot to do with the consistency of your faeces. I mean baby poo definitely often tends to need a lot of wet wipes, if not a quick bath.

I wanted to like it but it burned me!

It’s not because they don’t want to spread the poo about! It’s because it’s disgusting! 🤮

I think you need to seek medical assistance if your nether regions would smell if you didn’t jet wash them after using the loo

Well it's not going to get a chance to build if you shower everyday, now is it?

Honestly, MN cleanliness obsession is ridiculous.

You do know still some will remain no matter what. That's why water is there.

It’s a Filthy Westerner thing 😀. I’m a Brit, but have lived and worked all over the Middle and Far East, and I agree with you.

I bought one V&B bidet bog which cost two grand (!) but the bloody thing went wrong, and because they are so rare in the UK I can’t get anyone, or the parts, to fix it.

Instead I installed bidet sprays, which are standard all over the world. Plumbed in downstream of a temperature mixer/limiter they are an easy and cheap solution.

Ours don't hang up for all to see. Mine just comes running when I whistle.

what do you mean about body lotion? what do you use that for?

I'm not sure what difference water is going to make. Presumably you'll never get everything off with water either.

Lots of hotels just put a hand towel on the bidet.

I'd be pretty confident the last guest patted her face dry with it - as might the next.

It's a foul thought, but since we aren't all dying of poo-related diseases, the process of laundering is probably sufficient.
