    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 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.

    Do y’all have gaping assholes or something? You’re removing fecal matter on the outside of your body.

    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 😁

      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?

        …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.

      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.

    Oh look, a meme created by a man, who promptly ignored the more frequent use for toilet paper employed by 50% of the population 🙄

      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.
