How Do You Wipe? A POLL OF POLLS

How Do You Wipe a Poll

When you do a 'Number Two' Do you......

Use the left hand method, of course looking for the soap after, if circumstances permit...

Or do you clog the sewar system of the entire state with loo roll that you paid a small fortue for... Or leave the offending tissue in a mank ASIAN PAINTS tin for all to see, and smell. And later for some poor sod to empty on your behalf.

I use my left hand whilst in India, then wash it, then dry it with loo roll and stuff the used loo roll down the toilet.

Perhaps there should be a method depending on whether I have dysentary or not option.
I certainly wouldn't dream of using bog roll then....

... And describing in such excruciating detail !!

BTW, I have to select both the options, as I use the toilet paper with my left hand and then wash my hand with soap !

I use my LH. But soap is a MUST. Whilst travelling, (trains) I always carry a tiny Medimix with me and also a toilet roll..in case of no water. But either LH or roll, soap is a MUST. With toilet roll...yes ..me always use the left hand.

Yeah there should be a both option. I can feel complete only if I use left hand (preferable a spray shower before that) and wipe dry using a roll.

Depends on the facilities available but, prefereably, none of the above...

I have a spray in my toilet. it is fixed on the right of the loo so i use it with my right hand which probably violates a deep taboo but the hand never touches anything except the spray.

Don't you think if the "pee in the sink" forum was moved to this forum it could be renamed "International Lavatorial habits"?

Btw, I'm left handed so that poses a bit of a problem - however, I DO eat right-handed

Tiny question...I don't get using toilet paper only with the left hand? I mean, if you used toilet paper with your right hand, it's not as if the right hand will touch anything it's not supposed to....

Talking

This thread is vile, indecent and disgusting. I therefore feel compelled to contribute.

I use bog roll while I'm at home. In India I go native most of the time simply because leaving it in a bin for someone to burn later on seems grimmer than using your left hand.

Well it does to me, at least. I remember seeing the state of one in Goa and deciding that there was no way I was going within ten feet of the repulsive thing. Actually taking the lid off and using it - - it would've meant certain death, I'm sure of it.

Bring back the pigs, I say!
