I know many people are satisfied with just using a few wads of toilet paper, but it makes me feel so unclean that my skin crawls. I *have* to step into the tub and use soap and water on my area after using the toilet. Anyone else out there like this?
Me too.
Just about every house in southern Europe has a bidet next to the toilet, and that's what they're for.
We don't have a bidet - Brits and northern Europeans are apparently proud of having smelly asses - so I use moist toilet paper. Same function, less hassle than hanging my butt over the edge of the bathtub, or using the shower.
Anyone who uses toilet paper and thinks that's enough to be clean should try moist tissue once and see what's been left behind. Unless you have very hard feces or a magical sphincter, there will be a shit-stain on it.
I'm an American, so most people here don't even know what a bidet is. I would love to have one myself, but I settle for getting in the bathtub with a washcloth. I take a bar of soap, get the cloth nice and soapy and scrub for a few seconds and then rinse off. It's just so gross knowing there's residual excrement left on my back door.
Oh yes, I am the same way.
Leaving a small amount of poo on your butt is just disgusting to me
I wash every time after. I don't want to have any traces of shit. I don't want dirty underwear either. besides if you keep it clean, when it comes to sex, there's no smell to offend anyone who is in the vicinity..
I can't say going into the shower is normal after each defecation, but I'm a guy, and often use water or soap to wipe all the stain out, since I don't like wearing dirty underwear (and I wear white)...I'm sure there are others (both guys and gals alike) who like the feel and look of clean on both their bodies and undies...
I'd say it's pretty normal to want to make sure you have cleaned all the poo from your bottom properly. Most people where I'm from don't realise that toilet paper doesn't work properly. I used to use wet tissue, but it just leaves bits of paper as a residue. Now I have a jug next to the toilet. I use toilet paper and warm soapy water. You have to use your fingers a bit, lol, it takes a bit of getting used too but I wouldn't go back. Wipe off most of the mess with the tp, pour warm soapy water behind you with right hand and clean underneath with left hand. Gently dab dry with tp afterwoods. I find my shits sublimely refined now. Give it a try, it's much less hassle than a full on shower every time but tbh I do try to arrange my shits before showers. Also if a jug isn't available a water bottle will do. Happy shitting! :)
Bidet I understand, wipes I get. But I can't imagine stripping down and jumping in the shower. What do you do if your not home?
Well, for one, if I'm home, I'm usually just wearing the bare minimum anyway. Normally just a bathrobe, since I live alone, so it's not like I'm taking off shirts, jumpers, pants, shoes and socks and then dressing back up afterwards. And I don't take a full on shower, I just turn on the tub faucet and use the water flow just to wash that area and that area alone.
If I'm not home, I do what Boojum commented; I just make do the best I can with wet toilet paper.
you only live one time , i choose not to have a shitty ass. even at work i was wetting paper towels and washing the mother fucker clean. ha ha . they were paying me to clean my ass, ha ha.
