You’ve never heard of a murse?
Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board. I notice you are new…
Your post wasn’t even close to what passes for TMI around here. Especially as it was in a thread about wiping your ass. So don’t worry about causing raised eyebrows around here. It takes a little more than that to shock a Doper. The time someone confessed to performing analingus on a golden retreiver? Now THAT was TMI!
I just discovered wet wipes about a couple of years ago. Now, that I’ve found them I feel like so much of my life has been wasted. 
They need to come up with a travel pack that you can keep handy in your back pocket. (for use in public restrooms) Now THERE’S a million dollar idea!
Oh, wait. Y’all pretend like I didn’t tell you that.
Use a Ziplock bag.
That’s what I do.
At one point we had three kids in diapers so we had thousands of wipes all over the house. One particular day, I’m sitting on the john and there is this box of wipes right on the counter next to the sink…
It’s been there ever since.
Based on the recommendations in this thread, I looked for wet wipes at the grocery store yesterday. They has a lot of non-flushable wipes, but no flushable wipes. Bummer.
Don’t look among the Baby Wipes or the cleaning supplies.
They put them in with the regular toilet paper.
“Bummer”, indeed!
We have a container of baby wipes in the bathroom. I didn’t know they weren’t flushable (didn’t have any problems flushing em so far).
Personally I don’t normally use them exclusively, unless I’m having problems :eek: . The problem with the wet stuff is that it has zero absorbency, so they don’t seem to work well to scrape stuff off a sweaty butt.
However, I ought to try it more often- there was a previous wiping thread which talked about whether or not people sit or stand when wiping, and whether or not they fold or bunch. I discovered I was using a rather ineffecient method, and changed ‘techniques’, with satisfactory results.
For those of you transitioning from TP to WW, I recommend picking up a Wipe Warmer. These can be found at Babies R Us for around $20.
You make it sound like a 12-step program.
Given what we now know about the guy that played Mike Brady, I think we can safely say that Sam the Butcher was involved in some perverted way.
You’re too late. That’s what I keep in my laptop bag and in the glove box in my car.
Antigen, to take your statement literally, I never shit in my car. Still, I keep a travel pack of Wet Ones (15 count) in the car in case I’m on a long trip and the urge overcomes me. Wet Ones in the car serve a dual purpose; they’re good for cleaning hands after a greasy meal; I’d much rather people use them than my upholestry.
Ditto, except for the ex-boyfriend part. I got my boyfriend onto them.
Word to the wise–my friend used WW’s and flushed 'em.
She had her sewer rodded out–plumber was adamant…do not flush the ones that cannot be flushed. It cost her a bundle.
Just $2.49, actually.
I laughed so goddamn hard at this I had to register an account to say I literally had a hernia from it
