Why does toilet paper exists?

I WANT SOMEBODYS BUTTS I WANT THEM NOW! I'VE HAD IT!

I WANT SOME BUTTS

I feel the need the need for speed (if you catch my drift)
 
I got my showerhead-style bidet attachment for 7 quid on amazon. How much do you pay per year for toilet paper?


Ok answer me this: if you walk around town and a pigeon drops a big load on your head, would you think it's enough to use a few bits of paper to wipe it or would you rather take a shower to feel clean?
Here in America we consider that good luck
 
Wait, You poop in your shower?
lol no, it's attached to the toilet. I only saw one poop shower in my life so far and that was in a weird hotel in Kopenhagen. Those Danish...
edit: You attach it to the toilet? What do you do when you are not at home?
You can get the same effect from a bottle filled with water that shoots the water out as you squeeze it. You can also buy specialized ones but I personally prefer something that doesn't look like some weird sex instrument while I'm travelling.
 
If you've ever seen foreigners in the US they put their TP in the trash can or if from the middle east the ground in public at least ewww I used to clean park here and after any middle eastern gathering their shit paper is everywhere literally
 
I seem to get my ass clean with tp just fine. I figured most nations use a bidet because their sewage systems can't handle tp being flushed.

Me and you bro. People that cant get their ass clean with basic TP should perhaps look into eating more fibre, or getting a checkup with their GP. A fibre-full diet has other good effects on your body too.
 
I'm been thinking when we pee finish, we don't just wipe our hands with filmsy recycled paper. We put them through a tap, refreshing water, some may even soap first.

Why then do we want to mess our ass with icky paper wipe? This is considering home and civilised locations. Toilet paper is better than leaves when you are outfield camping etc.

Hence water taps and bidets should be a standard at every civilised shit cubicles imo.
I believe Jack Kerouac in one of his books, mocks the regulars for wiping with paper. He and his motley group of friends had it down. They kept a bar of soap next to the toilet in order to give themselves a proper clean after doing their doody. They used to laugh at all the plebs walking around with shitty cracks.

Mind you, this was around the time he was smoking discarded cigarette butts off the ground and generally living like a bum. But, I always found that interesting.
 
It is shocking to me that several instances, I've seen grown adult men take a shit at work, flush and walk straight out into the office. No shame. I can barely look at you eye to eye after that.

It just makes me wonder what other kind of disgusting things these animals do at home. If not washing after taking a shit, when actually do you even wash? Probably don't shower either.

Yep. I used to work retail and shared a staff toilet with all the other businesses in the building.

I was left, mouth agape, so many times by blokes taking a shit and not washing their hands. Then there were the ones who would notice they weren't alone in the bathroom and do a cursory "wash" of their hands for show which involved nothing more than a 1 second wetting of the hands, no soap.

These pigs would go straight back to work and serve customers with their filthy mitts. Gross.

That's how so many infections are spread. Truly neanderthal-worthy lack of intelligence. Oxygen wasters, these people.

So true. But what really gets me are the ones that actually don't care, they look at you and walk right out. Like are you actually kidding me?

Nowadays, I am one of those guys that takes an extra paper towel for the door handle - even though I know these nasty jerks are touching all the other door handles on the floor.
 

It's just one of those bizarre OldGAF-esque comments. I did a double-take and had a IRL WTF face.

"Silly unhygienic Americans who wipe clean and wash their hands! I always use bidets, and when I can't I just cup my hand under the bowl rim, collect toilet water, and clean my butt with it!"

I guess he doesn't realize that shit water splatters all over the bowl when the toilet flushes.
 
Toilet paper until clear of poop and finish with a wet wipe to clean yourself. No need to shower, no need to shoot water up your ass.

Simple.
 
How bad are your guys dumps. I could just stand up without whiping or cleaning like at all. I still whipe one time to see if there is something left behind but mostly completely nothing maybe 1% of the dumps a little bit is there.
 
Imagine you woke up one morning and found shit smeared in your arm pits. Would you just wipe it away with some tissue and be satisfied? No you wouldn't. This is the example I put forward when people say that tissue is "good enough" . Tissue just wipes away the debris; it doesn't get rid of the bacteria or freshen the region. If it did, we wouldn't need soap and hot water to wash our hands.

Wipe followed by a hot shower with soap – it's what I've doing since I was a kid.

Yeah, I've trained myself to go straight after my morning coffee, right before I shower and unless it's an unusual day, I don't go again until the next morning. So, I guess I always shower after a shit.

At the same time, if you have to do the business post-shower and have to wait a few hours until your next shower, it ain't world ending. I'm not planning on eating lunch out of my arsehole anytime soon, but to each their own.
 
Don't see the problem. Wipe until it looks clean, take a wet wipe of bidet to clean up, wipe again with paper to dry, job done.
