Yeah, no thanks on the wet wipes. What a waste of money. You can moisten TP for free.

Also, why wet wipe first? Use TP to get the big stuff then cleanse with wet wipe.

I saw a show a few years ago about incredible, psycho tightwads. There was a guy who claimed that he used exactly _one_ square of TP after doing his business.

Some people enjoy being clean and not having shit cling to them? You must be one of those pro-skidmark types that smells like shit.

I have never had skid marks on my boxers. Apparently my ass wiping skills are far superior to the other neanderthals posting in this thread.

I moved to Italy in 2007...over here bidets are the norm. Admittedly, it took a little adjustment, but the results cannot be denied.

If I have to throw shit covered wet wipes in the trash then I'll just stick to the old trusty TP. I've worked in countries where ALL of the toilet paper has to be thrown in the trash and the idea of not flushing the used paper/wipes is disgusting. Nothing like seeing an overflowing 55 gallon drum of used toilet paper to scar you for life.

If everyone had a bidet this wouldn't be an issue.

Wet wipes are awesome, but yeah they clog up your system fast. I had never read anything about it until I noticed it at home while potty training our son. We've stopped using them, to everyone in the house's dismay. :(

I'm a man, so regular TP is more than adequate. If I still feel "dirty" I just take a shower afterwards.

Yeah, I notice a lot of real men take three and four showers a day nowadays. Get up, take a shower. Mow the lawn, take a shower. Take a crap, take a shower. And, of course, take a shower before bed to feel all fresh and fuzzy.

And still no Three Seashells.
Hm, I really know nothing about them, but some bidets seem to have three knobs.

You shit 3-4 times a day??

Also you should be able to time your shit so that it occurs before you normally take a shower.
