    Eat more fiber, do more cardio, and buy a bidet.

      Started taking fiber supplements (psyllium husk from Costco). The change was revelatory. Went from trying to clean peanut butter out of carpet to perfectly clean single wipes, every time. REVELATORY.

      But also it could be wheat intolerance… It took me over 30 years to discover it.

      I think my cat would have the same face if he was watching me wipe for half an hour straight without giving him attention. But yeah, not a POV.

    You’re supposed to finish pooping before you wipe.

    Since switching to bidet, I can eat spicy food again without fear of rectalbution.

      Is that a thing? I’ve been theorizing so, but kind of hard to know when your backend would normally be on fire.

      Is it because the bidet just splooshes the spicy poop away? Or are there like miniscule wounds there from all the dry-rubbing? I know, when you’ve got an irritable bum, doctors will prescribe bidets for that…

        Imma answer this sorta seriously:

        When you wipe like you’re attempting to scrub away a particularly peculiar protruding posterior particulate you are often actually just causing damage to the rather soft and sensitive rectal tissue. This typically results in irritation. This irritation can lead to itching. Itching leads to the need to scratch, which can take the form of wiping.

        Thankfully (usually) the body tends to focus a bit more on areas where bacteria frequent. So abrasions or tears in the rectum won’t normally cause further complications. However, it is recommended to seek relief from symptoms by obtaining a safe anti-itch cream, being gentler, and generally just coping. I suspect that a bidet is also recommended because it causes less/no trauma to an area already sensitive, especially when healing.

        For burning, such as from spicy foods, I’d guess a bidet acts in a similar fashion to running a minor burn under water until the pain subsides. Just don’t go shoving any sterile gauze up in there unless you want to be featured on one of the Fire Department Chronicles’ shorts.

      It’s infuriating that it’s both people being so dumb they can’t understand basic grammar and people doing it because it gets more comments. Both of those things are just so shitty and disappointing.

        I’ve seen it being used wrong so many times now my brain just picks the correct interpretation most of the time.

        I predict the “you’re”/“your” distinction will be gone in 100 years. Maybe it’s all “you” in another 100.

        I think it’s more that a lot of people use voice to text and not all engines are good at telling the context for homophones.

    There is life before the bidet, and then life after the bidet.

      I started having the above problem last year after drastically increasing my fiber intake. I think I have pelvic floor dysfunction which creates a blockage. Adding more fiber makes the problem worse because you just have more poo moving toward the blockage, but not getting around it. I still eat a ton of fiber but laxatives have helped.

        It depends what kind of fiber, bran clogs me up but Metamucil makes it slip out easily, with a sort of slime coating to lube every lump.

      Pruritus ani, aka “polished anus syndrome”.

      There’s a lot that can cause it, but sanding the skin off with toilet paper is definitely on the list.

          I legit think those exact words all the time, lol. Everything in medicine is latin…

          I actually laughed out loud during an Anatomy & Physiology test because I saw the words “Corpus Cavernosum” and got the mental image of Harry pointing his wand at Draco, shouting those words, and Draco falling over, grabbing his crotch, and screaming. xD
