Is it normal to wet toilet paper before using it?

Yea its normal. I carry baby wipes in my purse for that reason.

It's way cleaner than dry tissue.

Yes totally try poking a hole on a water bottle cap and spray it down there .

What I use is isopropyl alcohol. Try getting the 90% bottle. It may sting a little bit but it sanitizes your ass. Also if you can use paper towels but just one at a time. Do not use more than two before flushing.

Another thing about alcohol is that if you use it with the right kind of toilet paper (usually the cheaper kind, I don't know why), but it seems to strengthen the fibers of the toilet paper so it doesn't tear apart.

I do it all the time. Dry wipe hurts my delicate ass.

Of course. Why do you rhink they invented toilet wipes? It's much cleaner with a bit of moisture to wash yourself.
