Although not so good for the environment, kids' wet toilet wipes are a little luxury. I'm teaching my son to wipe his arse. This is difficult work.

Re the bidet. You usually wipe prior to washing your arse. Shit shouldn't really be present when using the bidet.

It goes on and on and on and on...

I can use a half a roll at one sitting. It's ridiculous.

There isn't a day that goes by were I don't roll my eyes every time I have to wipe my ass over and over again.

Sometimes it seems that it will never end.

Just be careful.

In their bathroom, there was no toilet paper. There was a little bottle, like a ketchup bottle that you get at a gyros place, only clear, filled with water. I remember asking the daughters what it was and they rolled on the floor laughing at me. They couldn't believe I didn't know how to clean my ass at age 9. I don't think they had toilet paper in their house! To this day I can't imagine using that fucking thing to clean my ass. I understand a bidet, but leaning over and shooting a small stream of water in your ass, and having it drip down over your hand?!?!? Good god!

This is practiced in Iraq as well, and the first time I witnessed it, I had a difficult time not getting caught staring. I justified my offenses by assuming they would be equally interested in watching us with toilet paper.

I've never understood the bidet, though.... In the desert, getting your ass wet isn't much of a deal- it's refreshing and dries quickly. Also prevents swamp ass, the cruel outcome of sweat from 50 centigrade air festering in the dark crevices of one's body. But the bidet! How does it work? Why does it work? Do you dry yourself afterwards so your trousers don't get wet? Doesn't that double the amount of effort put into cleaning yourself? Isn't washing yourself once a day in the shower just as effective if you properly wipe yourself after going to the bathroom? How powerful is it? Does a little bit of water get into you and leak out throughout the day?


Additionally, in American housing in Somalia, the restroom was a tile room with 4 toilets on the left and right walls facing each other, with no division between them. From this, I witnessed quite a few shits, all female, all American, and most leaned forward and to the left, reached behind them, wiped front to back, and repeated as needed. The worst part about this was that in privacy, I look at the toilet paper to see how much more I need to wipe, but in this situation it depended on my bathroom company. I'm not comfortable inspecting my shit in front of certain parties. So I guessed. I've been doing this long enough to be mostly right....

Where's the seat?

Also, do people have anal glands? Do they need to be looked at?

Wait, where did the last post go? That was an awesome post

I like the way my dogs do it. They scoot around on their asses in the yard. It's like a Charlie Chaplin imitation.

my dog takes perfect rock solid shits - no wiping necessary. although there have been a couple of occasions when washing his hairy ass was necessary (wet dingleberries, ya know).

this thread made me change from scrunching to folding.
it's only been a few days but i doubt i'll ever go back.
