I find that I have to wash using soap and water.
It’s a trade-off. If you use toilet paper, you probably won’t be completely clean. If you wash with your hands, your hands will smell of poo. If you use towels, you’ll need a lot of poo towels.

I usually wet the toilet paper the second time I wipe n do so till leaves no marks on the paper.
It uses a lot of paper but I am so constapated that I take laxatives which can be soft in small amounts.
I used to sh#% with a towel over my head when I heard voices cause I did not want them to see any of my facial expressions while I was on the toilet.
I’m over the towel now thankfully.
I pray on the toilet sometimes and also pray to “relieve myself”.
good wishes for our circulation so to say.

Actually, archaeologists say the Roman Empire Romans had a shared sponge in their toilets.
Why are we obsessed with pooping?

I only use toilet paper but get thru loads of it. My poo is usually black and sticky from the Guinness i drink which makes it stick to my bum hair quite alot. I always make sure i “wipe clean” before leaving the bathroom. But i never stain my underwear - cos i dont wear any! Im usually wearing my Pajamas underneath my jeans so i can change for bed quickly! They get changed every other day tho.

Shi##%*# can indeed be a real problem.
Severe constapation can cause a lot of side effects and bad feeling.
Having a great sh#% can give relief and happiness and much more.
It can be a big problem.
I would not even get relief once a week and even on laxatives I’m not regular or getting it all out.
I have not had many great good shi#% in my life but when I have it makes me happy and I lose a few kg even just after sh#%%#>*.
In the olden day’s they wiped themselves with a cloth and those who were rich had people clean the clothes and then use them again.
Maybe that’s better for the environment.
Wishing us relief and great circulation.

It’s really hard to get clean sometimes using toilet paper. If it’s bad enough I’ll take a shower.

I find that Tuck’s medicated pads work well.
Amazon has an excellent water wipe.
It’s a disposable wipe with just water (no soap).
