The Great Debate

You seriously don't know?

I seriously don't know. If it's what I suspect, I guess it's the most ecologically sound practice, but maybe not the most hygenic.

Forgive my cultural ignorance, but, how do you use water but no TP? Bidet? Wiping rag?

Evolution endowed us with those things called "hands"......

No. Just giving you an explanation why some of us need to use hands. That is all.

Lori, well us who are blessed have to use our hands because if we didn't, we would pee all over. It's like firemen, the longer the hose, the more men you need to hold it.

It is gay no matter what your excuse.

People who use their hands are careful which one it is. Are people who use TP similarly careful?

Learn somethin' every day -- I always thought there was something interposed, even if it wasn't technically TP.

Nothing interposed. It's the water that does most of the cleaning, though.

But then, we're quite anal about cleaning our hands afterwards.









I still haven't understood, however, how absolute cleanness can be achieved without using water. How do you manage it?

No pun intended.

Good point -- this concern leads to a lot of wiping related medical problems in the U.S. actually. Personally, I will not discuss my own elaborate cleaning ritual. It has taken too many years of trial, error, and skidmarks to perfect it to just give it away for free.

So I wasn't that far off with the good old-fashioned handiwork.

An exampel I saw on TV. If you fall into a big pile of poo face first, do you scrub your face with TP or do you wash it with water?

[DirtyMartini]

Dare I ask...

What TV show were you watching?


To answer the question, I'd probably do both. Wipe then wash then wipe some more.

Also, while I was more than prepared to leave the issue , my original question was about using water alone without a wiping/drying aid. I'm still not sure how I would manage to clean my rear with water and hand alone without ending up with very wet pants. Further, if a drying agent is in fact allowed, why not just interpose that agent between your rear and your hand in the first place?

edit: spelling

[Pekka]

Probably both, but if you can choose only one, let me guess... water?
