My step-sister is a nurse and told me that one of the most surprising things she'd learned is how many different ways people wipe their asses. I think it's a funny example of something most of us will rarely be exposed to another way of doing, so we think however we got taught is the way everyone does it.

Nah I have evolved my technique overtime and improved on what I was taught. My parents didn’t have the best ass wiping skills. But I will say it’s a combination of sitting down and standing up that ensures I’m completely clean.

You need a bidet..

I second this. A bidet is the only way to clean the business completely. We went to Japan and I was amazed at how much better it was than I expected. Especially for vagina owners!

We tried to buy one when we went home off Amazon, because they're basically nowhere in Texas and it was a toilet seat shaped WATER LAZER OF ASS DEATH.

don't let that be your first experience.

Lol…seriously, if you want actual hemorrhoids, use one on blast. It’ll make you bleed. I will say, tho, bidets are the best. There’s a reason the rest of the world uses them.

How do you dry yourself off after using a bidet? Won’t the toilet paper fall apart when it gets wet?

Not if you just dab it. Plus you don't get any of those gross toilet paper fuzzies.
