    I’m in asia. They don’t use toilet paper. They use water and soap. Like civilized people.

    I FEAR going back to Europe. My asshole is puckering already. Using toilet paper is like sandpapering your anus. And it doesn’t even clean it. And it clogs toilets. And it costs us trees. And it costs money. And it’s fucking nasty. And when you buy it in the store, people will know that you poop.

      You can buy a portable bidet that is basically a squeeze bottle with a nozzle. I always carry a small bottle of liquid soap in my bag so I can wash anywhere. I also have an empty water bottle in my bag’s side pocket that I can fill up when I don’t have the portable bidet with me.

        I have a water bottle bidet attachment that I carry when traveling. Then just Cary a bottle of water around with me.

          Well hopefully after you use the bidet there won’t be any shit there lol, but no. The last few times I used a bidet there was TP as well, you just dab yourself dry with a little bit and put it in a bin. Less paper, not in the sewer, but you get a dry arse. Best of both worlds.

            if the options are wet or dry butthole, I’ll take dry.

            I mean, I bathe regularly and don’t scratch my butthole so I don’t think there’s many positive tradeoffs to using a bidet if I have to walk around with a sloppy dripping crack.

            I genuinely think a lot of people are just scared of liking it. The repression in the US is crazy in a lot of areas lol. “Can’t have anything feel good on the no-no-hole”

        No, at least not the thing I mean. It has a spray head oriented sideways and if you squeeze it water comes out with pressure depending on how hard you squeeze it.

        You point the spray head towards your butthole and water cleans everything. I still use TP afterwards but only to dry my butt and it’s always clean.

      100%

      If I go somewhere they don’t have one, I use the shower handle. Fuck walking around with shit smeared around your asshole because of bizarre Western cultural norms.
