Wet Wipes vs TP - Must Be a Guy Thing

Nah. I settled on one of these.

Although baby wipes (of the kind that we used on MilliCal up to about 5 years ago) aren’t flushable, the new “wet wipes” market for an adult market are. Even venerable old plumbing ought to be able to handle them.
You know, they tried marketing flushable wet wipes decades ago, but they never caught on. One brand was called “whistle”, apparently in “clean as a…”. But I suspect people more naturally associated it with flatulence. In any case, it was a poor name (perhaps) and a product Whose Time Hadn’t Yet Come.

Maybe now it has.

Oh sweet jesus. You are a bad, bad person.

:stuck_out_tongue:

I have super low water pressure and lots of plumbing issues. Now if you haven’t been to Asia or S. America, you will be totally grossed out by this - unless it has remnants of poop on it, I throw the used TP into a plastic bag instead of down the toilet. Then several times a day I take it all out to the trash can. Even if I drank 12 beers and urinated 10 times, I don’t think that the accumulated TP would cause
a nasty odor or anything to worry about. My toilet flushes better now! Seriously, there’s a large part of the world that does it this way. I think I even saw it in Europe on occasion. May sound gross, but actually urine is sterile so the TP used to wipe isn’t really all that nasty.

Mark and Brian, of radio “fame”, talk about this all the time. It must be a guy / asshair thing.

I started using wetwipes while on camping trips.

(TMI Warning! - The change in diet and exercise generally made my “deposits” less “solid” than usual, and wetwipes were the only way to deal with it.)

Now I use them all the time for the final pass. I can start my day with that “clean and fresh” feeling! :smiley:

Evidently, some wives enjoy racing stripes on their husbands shorts!! :eek:

I was afraid you were going to link to this.

I’ve never used a wet wipe for this purpose, but I may try after this thread.

:confused: Pardon me, but I’m willing to bet that I’m not the only woman in the world with hair on her ass. Probably not as much as many guys, but still . . .

Believe it or not, there are some people who use cloth wipes. I’m all about my nifty cloth diapers for my kid, but that crosses my personal line.

So are there really men out there who carry pocketfuls of wetwipes around with them??
Ladies have those handy-dandy purse inventions but what are the 4 out of 4 husbands using?

No, not gross (although I hope you wash your hands. In fact, I hope all of you are washing your hands whether you use wipes or tp…)

We cannot flush tampons down our plumbing, ever. We have very old clay tile under the front lawn, and alot of trees.

So, we, too, bag our bodily fluids.

this is just a-ahem- (deviant) thought, but I would be willing to bet that women, who have been known to be moist/wet at any old time at all, would be less likely to want to apply a cold, wet wipe to their nether regions.

Me likes dry, warm (as compared to wipes) tp.

This is the part that got me. I’m picturing Carol Brady, Shirley Partridge, Samantha Stevens and Lisa Douglas sitting around having tea and finger sandwiches.

Shirley: “Tell me, Carol, what does Mike use to wipe his ass with?”

Well, if you think that’s bad, I guess I shouldn’t tell you that I LITERALLY settled on it.

Other than for nose-blowing, how do you have poop-free TP?

You’re soaking in it!

Actually, I saw this girl on the Style channel getting her ass crack waxed and an anal hair bleach (I don’t know if that’s how you say it, but they bleached the strays that were left from the waxing). It’s not all that uncommon and as a matter of fact (I’d definitely get my ass kicked if my she knew I said this) my gf has asshair. No big deal.

OK - here is WAY too much TMI—
I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. When you have to poop sometimes upwards of 8 times a day, first constipated followed by diarrhea, a nice cold wet wipe feels gooood.

Ok, Eve, you finally got me! I’ve seen your wit celebrated many, many times, but that one sent me to the floor. Bravo!

I use them.

I keep one travel pack in my laptop bag and another in my glove box. This handles about 98% of the situations I’m likely to need them outside of the home.

Curse you, Eve!!! I was literally taking a swig of cola when I read that. Do you know how much it hurts to not spew cola all over the keyboard? Owww!!!

Hurts so good …
