While we are at it, fuck using just toilet paper. It doesn't clean anything and just smears shit (literally) across your hairy butt crack. Wet wipes + toilet paper are the only choice if there is no bidet.
As for covering the seat, I don't care if my butt is padded and protected and skin is meant to prevent things from going in, it's my skin and I can feel things it touches and I don't like the feeling of sitting over potentially other people's fecal matter and waste or the feeling of sitting on it and then simply put my trousers on post business and go about an entire day. Yes they aren't any cleaner than mine but my waste is mine alone. If I don't use paper to cover the seat I feel like this.
for the love of god: Please
stop using wet wipes people!
They are unbelievably bad for the enviroment and especially the sewers.
I understand that people want to clean a babies ass with those wipes but why should you do that as an adult?
Our anuses do not have to be 100% clean. In fact, they are not "designed" for that.
Some simple sheets of normal toilet paper is all that you should use/need.
If you feel more comfortable, make them wet.
You will not get a rash or a deadly disease from having some remaining poo around your rosetta.
For your butt- and our planet sakes.
