Yeah, why is that if you wipe to vigorously and get scratches around your butthole, it doesn’t get infected by all the poop ?
Hank Green asked this about anal fissures and had a bunch of doctors replying. From what I remember your immune system is different in different parts of your body and your body is prepared to handle it down there. Unless your immune system gets compromised then it can get infected.
Generally “poop bacteria” such as e-coli do not cause skin infections, they thrive in a different environment. Even infections in the anal region are generally caused by skin bacteria such as Staphylococcus.
Beyond skin infections, what happens when they enter your bloodstream? Id figure that’d happen with a broken hemorrhoid, since it’s basically and open wound that poop just sits on all day
They do. It’s why you have an immune system. You’re literally being attacked millions of times per day but keep it in check.
Ahem…kept in cheek😆
good one!
Shouldn’t this be in lemmy shitpost?
insert plug for a bidet
Insert corny joke about plugs and bidets in same sentence
Insert butt plug
What are you wiping with???
80 grit
rookie move, you start at 100 and move up to higher numbers until smooth.
Oh my pkcell
I just puckered involuntarily.
He doesn’t know how to use the three shells.
So do you just scoop it out with those shells or what?
Dry paper is abrasive.
You’re not supposed to use regular paper
The skin on your body isn’t uniform; it’s at varying textures and thicknesses in different parts, and its absorbency varies in different parts, as well.
The skin around your anus is very resistant to infection due to its particular mixture of these properties.
So we have thick a holes?
(insert fat joke)
(also insert insertion-into-rectum joke)
(also insert rectum-no-dang-near-killed-em joke)
Reads like a strange dialect of lisp.
I just tried to turn my comment into a lisp joke, but realized I don’t really know lisp as well as I used to 35+ years ago, and I’m not going to reteach it to myself for the sake of a joke. Sorry. 🤣😂
It can happen. And when it does, it can be horrendously painful and hard to treat.
Just messaging so I can return and check answers here. I’m curious as well.
Bidet
too French.

You can say it however you want. Just let it cleanse you.
Do you wipe with a cheese grater?
I don’t understand how you are scratching you brown eye when you wipe.
1-ply public washroom paper is not far off a cheese grater, so…
superhero whos entire body is a butt. never gets diseases
People still not using a bidet in 2025… smh
I always forget to bring my bidet with me when I go on a trip!
If you’re joking, you should buy a portable bidet and keep it in your luggage.
I’ve seen exactly one airport bathroom with private sinks, and zero airplanes where I think I can manage that.
And I’m not gonna comment on the incident on the #9 bus.
Haha… Yeah, true, a portable bidet isn’t good for public restrooms, but for a hotel room, they’re great.
Bidet pulled out of the race late 2024. Read the news.
November rolls around: “Is bidet running for president?” trends on search engines
A politician with a proven track record of actually cleaning shit up?
They’ve got my vote.
home ownership is a faraway dream for a lot of people, and apartments generally won’t let you install one :(
I’m living in an RV, still have a bidet. I’ve also installed them in countless apartments either for myself or people I know. As long as you remove it before moving out, they don’t care.
You would stop getting butthole scratches if you started using a bidet. Gah. Americans are so gross.
Explain to me how not using a bidet is an American thing? I’ve traveled to many countries and rarely seen a bidet. I know several Americans who use bidets, myself included. Just got back from Europe actually, where I witnessed zero bidets. Glad I took my portable one.
Also why are you assuming op is American?
Because America is an easy target. Half the country demonstrated beyond doubt that they’re too stupid to be in charge of a pet rock. We’re low hanging fruit because of that. I can’t say I disagree either.
This is just bizarre and irrelevant.
We’re talking about open anus wounds. The current American government is especially relevant, since the sitting president is an open anus wound gifted with the ability to speak.
China just has a hole in the ground. Toilet paper is optional.
We had bidets in France in the 80/90s but it’s not a thing anymore.
Yeah I haven’t seen them in France on my trips there. I really have only seen them in the middle east and I also saw (a very old school) one in a hotel room in Italy.
signature look of European superiority
bidets are slowly catching on in America! my parents got one like seven years ago, and if I didn’t live in an apartment, I’d get one too lol. they’re rare (and there’s none in most businesses) but eventually we’ll get there
You can get a bidet that attaches to virtually any toilet for like $30. Pretty easy to install/uninstall in most cases too. Check out Luxe bidets. I’ve had good luck with them.
if they involve the plumbing in anyway, it’s not allowed at my apartment, otherwise I’d get one!
Sure – you know best for your situation. Just throwing it out there that it’s normally just an already-exposed water line that you turn off, flush the toilet, then disconnect and put the bidet inline, then reconnect. So it’s not really a high risk thing. See this video if you’re interested at all: https://youtu.be/4SDpzj6wTMQ?t=249
I’ve installed and uninstalled these things in like 7 apartments now I think :) No one ever told me I couldn’t, but if they had I probably would have done it anyway since I’d make sure it was done right and did not leak.
hmm, I may give it a go then
Nice.
