How Do You Wipe? A POLL OF POLLS

readmymind · Apr 12th, 2005, 15:17

in india, should you only use your left hand when cleaing a baby after it has made it's little diaper mess ?

i wonder if it would have freaked out any of the merchants that i gave money to if they had known that i am right handed. i write with my right hand. i eat with it. i do my 'paperwork' and washing up with it. actually, i'd say my left hand would be considered my 'clean' hand. hmmm...

I have rediscovered my bidet at home after following this thread for the past few days. I believe I actually prefer it to the two aforementioned methods.

Much more comfortable for re-purusing my bathroom copies of Lonely Planet and Rough Guide.

Worst bathroom moment, in Moscow in 1986, when I disovered a rag on a string next to the shitter....

Could we postpone that invitation for you to stop by with us here Steven - just to be on the safe side!

I thought that one had fallen on stoney ground: I'm glad someone appreciated it!

Maybe we should do an "Indiamike: the best typos" collection

Because of the lack of public toilets and being environmentally friendly I generally take a small pig with me wherever I go.

I read your "Hans" comment out to my husband and he couldn't stop laughing, the mental imagery was too much for him. You caught another one with "urbane monkeys"...looks like you would be great at the "best typos" thread! I will, of course,be more than willing to assist.

Great idea - everyone can then have a 'hans on' experience.........

Poor hans

I love bidets for warm footbaths in winter as well as the quickie wash. But for general toilet use, my mother's advice seems so much better than the hand method - wipe with dry toilet paper, then properly clean with wet toliet paper. If your sink is close by, this is a simple way to be clean without getting water all over the bathroom and without getting gross stuff on your hands. Yuck. If you don't enjoy stepping barefoot (or bearfoot) in droppings, why on earth would you use your hand?

I met that guy HANS once, Lord Krishna Above he stunk!!!!!!

I am saddened that 89 people so far think they are better than the poor guy who has to empty the paint tin full of squallid shitty paper. The paper that these 89 have created in the name of some twisted logic to do with hygene.

Why come to India if you can't handle the full package?

Davegibson · Apr 25th, 2005, 01:56

I use the hand method but sometimes forget which one but I do wipe with toilet papre first, just once with 2 sheets and then use aqueous cream to cleanse the area and spray and I am clean.
There I have bared my soul and have no dignity left. Actually my dignity went with the taking of prostate biopsies, fortunatly negative so I can plan my next visit.

I'm very dissapointed by how many people are now using toilet paper.
Come on you guys, get into the groove.

Absolutely hilarious thread.

When possible, I do number 2 first thing in the morning and clean up during the morning shower.
For the times when that's not possible, being the poopophobe that I am, I pack paper towels that can be moistened and used to clean up. They're thicker than toilet paper, so only one (about half the size of a standard business envelope) is necessary to do the job. It then gets folded up and tossed in the regular trash. Hey, they're biodegradable.

Course it does help to eat a diet that produces well-formed, lubricious, low-residue deposits.
