It’s why I don’t use it.
Uh… That sounds disgusting. Toilet paper does zero to protect your hands. It’s so thin and perforated that bacteria pass through it as if it wasn’t there at all. The point of TP is that it collects poop and pee.
After wiping, you wash your hands with a LOT of. soap, because your hand is full of poop bacteria
It looks like OP wasn’t taught this by their parents and just walk around smearing shit in every door handle that comes across. Not something I wanted to have to know about…
I def don’t wash my hands and just smear gobs and gobs of shit everywhere I go
No it’s not. It’s a bum dryer.
I had a girlfriend who made fun of me for washing in the tub after I wipe, I think she was just jealous that I had a cleaner asshole.
no wonder she wanted to skip anus inspection day
Oh fuck I forgot Anus Inspection Day! Any ideas for last minute gifts?
A bidet
Do y’all have gaping assholes or something? You’re removing fecal matter on the outside of your body.
Don’t judge me
i don’t make the rules I just enjoy them
I remember talking to two Japanese young lads about 20 years ago, and they thought the idea of toilet paper was disgusting. Smearing/smudging your own shit allover your inner ass cheeks.
That opened my eyes wide. I was a couple of years younger, but they spoke frankly and didn’t hide anything 😁
This is a common thing in a lot of countries actually! And i cant say theyre wrong!
TP is objectively disgusting. would you use it to clean shit off any other part of your body?
I-is Japan okay… simultaneously being grossed out by toilet paper and it’s a coin-flip whether they use the bidet T_T
Previously, we conducted a survey of electric bidet use among Japanese community-dwelling residents and found that 55% (2,724/4,952) of the respondents washed the anus either before or after defecation[10]. […]
In a survey of bidet use in 575 outpatients conducted by Yano et al.[11], 349 (61%) washed the anus at every defecation and 75 (13%) did so occasionally. […]
In a survey of college students, 34% (47/139) of the female students and 44% (43/98) of their male counterparts reported using the washing function of bidet toilets[12].
Overall, approximately half of the population washed the anus before or after defecation.

Brother eww.
Also, why would I wash it before? What purpose does that even have when I’m shitting all over it literally 2 seconds later?
You’re calling it “washing before”, some of us call it “warm water pre evacuation lubrication”. We are not the same.
Y’all need some fiber.
I have one of the sprayer handle bidets, and I will often rinse off my balls and taint first. That way they can dry while I take a shit.
I actually never figured out how to use those.
…That’s worse, gimme a country where everyone wipes with toilet paper, rather than a country where roughly half the population are walking around with shit in their trousers.
Bruh what the FUCK
I lived in West Africa where there was no TP at all. People used pieces of millet stalks to scrape the big bits, then wash anything else away with your left hand and water. It actually does a good job.
TP is objectively weird and inherently the least good job of any way other than doing nothing at all. You just grew up like that and don’t know what the alternatives are and how many of them are much better.
And bidets splatter you feces all over your butt cheeks. Nothing wrong with either from a hygene standpoint.
You just don’t know how to use a bidet.
This doesnt adress my point. I swear I saw a study about this but I can’t find it so whatever
What? No 3 seashell reference???
Turns out it was just a bidet and we’re all idiots.
Oh look, a meme created by a man, who promptly ignored the more frequent use for toilet paper employed by 50% of the population 🙄
Oh look, someone that has to make a /meme/ on the internet about sexism.
Get a life, find some happiness.
Yes, because using toilet paper as a condome so you dont infect yourself while scooping urine with your hands is much different.
Also, if we take it very seriously, toilet paper just replaces the tongue of someone else in both Cases.
Toilet paper is so thin that all bacteria pass through it as if it wasn’t there at all.
Toilet paper’s point is not at all to protect but to collect. You need to wash your hamds afterwards just im the same way as if you had held poop in your hands.
Skip the toilet paper, use water.
Good thing all toilets everywhere have bidets
They can
They don’t
That’s not a good reason our buttholes can’t aspire
I have a spare empty water bottle and a travel-sized container of liquid soap in my bag so I can wash when there’s no bidet.
There are also travel bidets that are specifically designed for that purpose.
If you’re at home, it’s pretty easy to hang your butt into the shower and point the stream of the shower head at your anus. Don’t even have to undress, just turn the water up low enough to not splash everywhere.
Bolt-on bare minimum ones are 40-50€, and they work with any toilet.
This is why I always carry one with me, also some tools, I have been repeatedly asked to stop installing them by friends, family and the local pubs, but fuck it, you can’t tell me what to do.
As a Crohns sufferer, you are doing the Lord’s work
if you don’t have a bidet, do it in the sink
Sure, let me just prolapse my anus and unreel it like a hose all the way over to the sink
Okay
Must be a skill issue
Y’know that scene from The Abyss with the water creature? James Cameron first had the idea for it after seeing me cleaning my anus in the sink in a similar fashion described by SpaceNoodle.
I was there too. I don’t know what stuck with me more: your actions or James Cameron’s expression. I watched him a little afterwards too, the poor guy didn’t even finish his Grand Slamwich.
But did you finish?
every time
Well, on a good day it is.
even bad times are still pretty good
Only the sticky kind.
is there any other kind?
You might need to eat more fiber lol
that’s that fluffy pink stuff right I just had a bowl this morning
