Seconded!
Hrm… I’ll have to try these dietary methods. Sometimes I swear I’m gonna need to shave (MY FACE) again by the time I’m done wiping.
Just wanted to pop in and say that I have never had this happen to me when I wear a thong. And they don’t go up my sphincter, so I want to say that if yours is, you aren’t doing it right.
I used to have skidmarks, before I discovered flushable wet wipes. I still make one more pass with toilet paper afterwards, though, because otherwise I feel a little too moist down there. Nowadays skidmarks are rarely a problem.
And yes, some chicks get 'em too. I’ve seen 'em (not that I’ve sought them out, mind you) more than once.
Tiger-stripe is the most concealing pattern 
Okay, I’m thinking that you don’t get skidmarks from farting. If you’re blowing stuff out of your ass, then sorry dear, that’s not just a fart. That’s a shart.
As a thong-wearing woman, I can honestly say that I’ve never gotten skidmarks before, and I even have a few pairs of underwear that are white. This could be due to my obsessive butt-wiping that may stem from the trauma I was exposed to as a child when I’d notice my dad’s skidmarked tighty whities. That’s probably also why I have a deep-seated aversion to tighty whities.
Yeah, nobody around here likes us Republicans. 
Well I’m another guy who pretty much just lives with it. Being a heavy drinker, the viscosity I’m gonna be dealing with is pretty much a real crapshoot(Hehe) many mornings. Plus I got a hairy ass. So my choices are, take a 30 minutes shit, detailed exploration and excavation, or just accept the fact that that I’m gonna get stains sometimes. I just buy a bunch of Fruit of the Looms when they are on sale, and dispose and replace as needed.
I remember one New Year’s Eve I hooked up with a cute little hippie chick who turned out to be carrying around a Jackson Pollock in her drawers. Hard to hold onto your composure under circumstances like that.
My undies have crash marks.

Nope. 'Course, I have daily access to Washlets at work and at home. I started trying to be cleaner about bathroom habits ever since I read Living Values close to 15 years ago and realized that American habits of cleanliness sometimes leave something to be desired. I like to be clean, which means washing somehow. If all else fails, I’ll spit in a clean doubled-over piece of toilet paper and use that to wash.
One way or another, my butthole is getting clean. I mean think about it, you wouldn’t consider someone to have washed their hands if they just rubbed them on a towel, would you? So why would you consider your ass to be clean unless you’ve washed it, not just wiped it?
Well, I dunno about where you work or live, but your hands are used to do things like shake other people’s hands, touch doorknobs - stuff like that. Where other people will also touch. Washing your hands kills bacteria and viruses that will make you or your family sick.
I’m kind of hoping your butthole isn’t touching doorknobs or shaking hands with people. It, in theory, is covered by a couple layers of cloth precisely so it doesn’t touch things.
I wish you wouldn’t impose your own anal-conservatism on Sleel. 
Hey, I don’t make the news; I’m just reporting it.
Thanks, guys; now I’m picturing people using their assholes to open bathroom doors so their hands don’t touch.
(wheresgeorge, there’s an “augering in” joke in there somewhere; I just can’t seem to find it. )
You *are *shelling them, right? If not, I am puzzled. I love me some roasted pumpkin seeds, but occasionally meet someone who eats the shells, too. This puzzles me much.
This is the best advertisement for wet wipes I have ever read.
I wipe incessantly to avoid skid marks, but it reaks havoc on my ass. I’m getting wet wipes ASAP.
The predecessor.
I also had to reference one of my favorite all-time threads . . .
Heck no. Eat em whole - always have, ever since we carved jack o’lanterns as wee little kids. You mean, like spit out the hulls?
I’ve heard of folks who eat sunflower seeds and swallow the shells too - that is weird. But pumpkin seeds are much softer, not sharp and brittle.
Going down, anyhow.
