Is it normal to wash your buttocks after every bowel movement?

  • Me too.

    Just about every house in southern Europe has a bidet next to the toilet, and that's what they're for.

    We don't have a bidet - Brits and northern Europeans are apparently proud of having smelly asses - so I use moist toilet paper. Same function, less hassle than hanging my butt over the edge of the bathtub, or using the shower.

    Anyone who uses toilet paper and thinks that's enough to be clean should try moist tissue once and see what's been left behind. Unless you have very hard feces or a magical sphincter, there will be a shit-stain on it.

    • I'm an American, so most people here don't even know what a bidet is. I would love to have one myself, but I settle for getting in the bathtub with a washcloth. I take a bar of soap, get the cloth nice and soapy and scrub for a few seconds and then rinse off. It's just so gross knowing there's residual excrement left on my back door.
