    Not sure what I’d do in a public toilet.

    At home though, a lesson learned long ago: the whole pack of tp rolls has its place right next to the bowl, right under my eyes.

      Unfortunately I’ve seen the kids use an entire role for who the fuck knows, in the time between my toilet breaks. I have to make sure there’s at least 4 spare roles at the beginning of the weekend. Even then sometimes they just ball it up, wet it, and stick it to the cocking ceiling.

        I started my bidet life with those cheap ones that only spray regular water. It’s honestly all you really need.

            TOTO is the most gentle and most reliable. I bought mine in Japan 15 years ago and it’s still working like it was new.

            The 2 extra features outside of the norm is the heated seat and what I call the constipation spray. It’s a narrow spray that sprays warm water up your butt and helps get the poop out. Haha.

    As a South East Asian, we clean our ass with water and soap. The first time I pooped outside of home was when I was a toddler during school. The restroom next to my classroom had a tap water and a bucket with “dipper” (according to translation, that’s what it’s called). We would wash our nethers by scooping the water with “dipper” from the bucket and then clean our hole with soap. It was awkward doing it outside of home, and I have mentally trained my mind to avoid pooping outside of home. Weirdly enough, it worked because I only feel that “terrible need” when at home. A dad’s friend also has the same mindset as me. While driving us home, my friend told his dad there are public toilets he could use if he really needs it badly. The dad said he doesn’t want to poop outside the house.

    The second and last time I pooped outside of home was years ago as an adult at work. Emigrating to Europe, I had to use toilet tissue, but I felt dirty not cleaning my asshole with water and soap. Good thing it was near the end of my shift at that time and went home shortly.

      For what’s worth, I was born and raised in a country where toilet paper is usually all you have to work with and even I don’t think that’s very hygienic.

        There are bidets and Japanese automated bidet toilets available to be installed. But as South Park noted, many parts of the world still use toilet paper because of propaganda from big toilet paper!

    As a man, I have my TP usage measured out. 2 sheets (folded) per wipe. Repeat as necessary.

    Wife moves in. TP roll eaten by unknown creatures on a daily basis.

      There are people in the world who wrap their whole hand in multiple layers of paper for every wipe

      Just get a bidet like a civilized person. Tp is gross and wipes (the only actual way to clean the shit off your ass instead of just painting a thin tissue brown) are horrible.

      I also wouldn’t be proud of how little tp your dry shits take, you just kinda sound dehydrated.

    thank the rules i’ve never had to do this.

    if you ever get in such an emergency, best to use just another tissue, or a towel, and if all that isn’t there, sock i guess?

    And then it bobs on top of the surface of the water like the saddest, most persistent log you’ve ever seen, until you drown it with piss some hours later. Terrible for your pipes. Do not recommend
